Blurred Lines Tell Lies!

So, we have been talking about the importance of being modest, which is the consciousness of the mind and the body. But let's go in to more detail about why immodesty is so popular in this world.

Everything you see and everything you hear has some kind of sexual suggestions, no matter if it's blatant or subtle it's there. There are examples of this everywhere, such as suggestive images in commercials, billboards, music, etc. What does a half naked woman have to do with perfume? Sex continues to be the focus of mainstream advertising not only for females but for males as well, so much so that the general population truly believes that this is normal. When someone speaks against this behavior they are seen as being "old fashioned" or anti such and such. From the media to the music industry they all have their hand in the pot. Advertising plays a significant economic role in the music business, it's how the industry sells their products and/or artists. The suggestive lyrics of songs promotes the sexual behavior we see on television. What we hear on the radio is reinforced in what we watch. In these music videos today, you often see artists dancing provocatively and on top of that most of the time it has nothing to do with the actual song. The music industry has created this requirement for females to be sexual. It reinforces in both the artists' and the fans' heads that in order to succeed in the music industry one must rely almost entirely on their sexuality. They try to blur the lines to skew our perception of what their goal is; to make indecency fair-seeming.

There’s a reason the quality of mainstream music has decreased significantly since the early 1900s. The more so-called musicians continue to use sex to promote their work, the more it changes our focus from their music to sex. It's not the quality of the song that attracts us to buy their music it's the videos and the erotic images pasted over it and woven into it that will sell it for them. We went from Run DMC to Waka Flocka, Lauren Hill to Nicki Minaj, and Marvin Gaye to Ginuwine. Do we really want our daughter's or son's and little brother's or sister's to be corrupted by people like Miley Cyrus and her video “Wrecking Ball”? Or Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” music video? Both of which blatantly demeans and portrays women as sexual objects. There's a saying that goes, what you surround yourself with you become. We have to strive to overcome, not succumb.
