We are living in an era where music is probably the number one influencer on people wherever they are in the world. Many young people listen to music on a regular basis so it is only natural to see an effect on their behavior. Music videos today get the highest ranks in terms of number of views on media platforms like Youtube which means that their reach is worldwide therefore limitless.
The taste of music reveals a side of one's personality so the question:"What kind of music you listen to?" is valid. One should pay close attention to what teenagers listen to and never underestimate the power of music over the younger generation.
Singers became the new idols of our time and you can see that very clearly in the amount of love and attention they get by their fans. These fans are mostly young and can be heavily influenced as many of them see the singer as a role model. Some of the fans imitate singers in almost everything even the hair style.
This type of behavior is like worship in every way except it is not called worship. We now see hardcore fans who see the singer as a god and that is very dangerous to both mind and soul. Music should never exceed being what it is and that is entertainment.
