Main Theme in Sound City

Many songs nowadays only really serve the purpose of being a good song to dance to. The songs do not teach you very good morals and do not always present a life style that everyone can relate to. The song 'Starships' by Nicki Minaj is an example of why music is not as good as it used to be. Starships are not a real thing, and the messages portrayed in her song are bad and do not have anything to do with starships if they really did exist. The theme of her song is dancing at clubs, spending all her money and drinking a large amount of alcohol. She also throws in the lyrics, "Twinkle, twinkle little star," which has no relation to the song, and "I ain't paying my rent this month, I owe that," which is not a good example to be setting.
                Another reason why music is not as good anymore is because of the focus of many music videos. In Nicki Minaj's music video for this song, a large portion of it is Nicki on a beach in a very small bathing suit, for the purpose of making her look sexy. The rest of the video is people dancing around in their bathing suits. The video does has not real meaning and does not really relate to the song, other than the 'starship' that appears at the beginning.
                Music before 1995 seemed to have more meaning and be more honest than music like 'Starships." The videos usually related to the songs and tried to show you a message, rather than show you how to sell your body by dancing and dressing a certain way. Music now a days does not seem to teach you any valuable life lessons.
