This Generation of Music

Okay so when Nicki Minaj first became popular with "Moment for Life" and "Super Bass" I was totally into her music. I loved both of the music videos because they both of the videos contained a lot of fantasy and imagination- plus a TON of pink. (My favorite color.) But when Anaconda came out, basically all of the respect that I had for her turned into disappointment. She wasn't a total bad role model before this song and it's video were released. Sure she swore and talked about sex a little in her songs, but she didn't over-do it. In Anaconda, she really made a statement. In case you want to refer back to the video, I'll post it below so you don't have to open another tab. 

This video has made my faith in humanity go down a smidge. I get that this is the 21st century, but I'm still a conservative person and I don't want to see a well-known potential role model for young girls in a thong with her whole butt hanging out. What is this teaching the young girls? I'll show you what this video is teaching them. 

I hate how the "Anaconda" video as well as our 21st century pop culture is shaping our young people. Girls are twerking at ages in the single digits, and boys are turning girls into sex objects at a younger age. I doubt that the younger generations of girls even know that they have self-worth. I hate to think that young girls these days think that they just have to jiggle their butt to find the right guy to fall in love with. Jiggling your butt isn't going to do much for you in life besides get you pregnant by some loser guy. 

A WAY better role model for girls in this generation would be Sara Bareilles. She is always fully clothed and doesn't sing about butts. Young ladies should look up to her because she sings about relateable, usually happy things that will keep their minds and their priorities straight. One particular song titled "Brave" fits this blog  because it's about how people don't need to conform or listen to every little thing that society does or says. The video is very cute; it depicts people dancing by themselves in public places. I hope you watch it and it makes you happy.

P.S.- Please stop any young girls that you see twerking. Thanks!
