Value of pop music


I realized as the years go by, age, drugs or some other celebrity-biased tragedy will rob the lives of excellent music makers like Whitney Houston and Faye Wong.
Leaving us with the likes of Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus.

While I have often seen comparisons of olden 80s lyrics versus 21st century lyrics, like how the Beatles only wanted to hold that girl's hand while Minaj made a song about a stupid hoe, of which a verse/chorus was four words in different combinations: you, a, stupid, hoe

Are we going to let the music of "our generation be defined by the select few artistes that do not seem to have positive contributions to the way youth views relationships, work and life?

Have we forgotten Taylor Swift and her determination to choose her words carefully because she know that her choice of words is bringing up a new generation?
Or Adele who used divine vocals to touch the souls of many, rather than the exposure of flesh to linger on many other people's thoughts?

We should be careful of what we say, or the future generation will forget how to screen for themselves who are the intrinsically "good" singers rather than merely what the billboards yell in their faces
They could well believe that you a stupid hoe

On a totally unrelated note, I am going to eat the famed and much heard about London Choco Roo!! Full of anticipation of it's 奶香Choco味, 香浓又美味



Hah!! Bet you sang along in your head.
