The Degradation of Music

We all know that the quality of music today is a far cry from what it was just 40 years ago. It seems as though everything good about the art has been removed. Catchy melodies, lyrics that gave us insight into the human condition, and soul which emote things like joy, sorrow, and hope can no longer be found in the songs that now inhabit our airwaves.

Matt Walsh does a good job here to break down how music has changed in the last few decades. He makes some excellent points about how even the sexual lyrics in songs along with the music videos of today are off-putting and gross. It's a far cry from the hits of my day like Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" which along with its sexy video had lyrics that were fun, comedic, and relatable to a boy with a crush on his teacher.

Another point he makes is how lifeless and emotionless these singers are. I've noticed this myself as they no longer even put feeling into their songs. They just mindlessly mumble the lyrics like a robot. Even bad songs back in the day at least had emotion. I may not have liked the music or the message, but the emotion was present.

Listening to contemporary songs from these Illuminati puppets makes me wonder had bad this music can get. Can it devolve into a product that is even more degrading and deplorable than it is now?

The problem is not music, but the black screen of death and you watching "what's popular".

"Popular culture" is just a global control mechanism, it was in the 60s as it is now.

As St. Augustine distincted: The city of God vs the Earthly City.

The earthly city has claimed music, what is God's gift.

In your city go to any jazz bar where young guys are playing and you'll see and feel the joy of music. Real music.
Or buy a guitar and learn to play some chords. And sing for your your kids and wife and they'll love it, after laughing for a bit. :)
Go to a monastery and sing the psalms with them.

Just don't expect the rulers to popularize good music while you sit on your ass staring at the black screen of death; its a propaganda screen.
Music today is propaganda as it has been since mass media were introduced and dominated.

What is "popular' is what the rulers want to be "popular". Loads of great music is made and played. Probably within few miles of your home.

I come from Europe and from the 60s our whole local music industry was taken over by the English/American, unifying this new global world order.

I agree that the music in the West has been on a slippery slope for a long time, probably going back as far as the 50s with Elvis thrusting his hips on stage. Some Christians back then surely saw the path we were on and tried to warn others where this would lead. I bet they had no idea how bad it would get.

Personally, I think the 80s was the cut-off to where most of the music on the radio was wholesome to a point. Some of it was indeed suggestive, and some of it even more so. But even the suggestive songs back then had the qualities of good music.
 
You guys got it good. If I posted any of my nation's music from the last 5 years I wouldn't even be able to post because of how sexual any and all of the lyrics are. After around 2014 I started seeing literal toddlers dancing to the most Satanic beats and lyrics.

In compensation, have this mildly funny Brazilian song I found playing GTA 4 last year. It's favelaslop but not bad enough to avoid posting.

 
Interesting video on that horrible film, Emilia Perez, winning Best Song at the Oscars this year. Just listening to pieces of this, it seems as though evil people are experimenting with different ways of making music sound off-putting or anxiety-inducing to its listeners.

It's akin to commie architects making buildings with windows that are placed haphazardly to give the viewer an uneasy feeling and causing a lack of harmony in the aesthetics.

 
Great video here about how Grunge was a psyop to replace the happy rock music of the 80s. It has an interesting interview with a guy who played in a rock band at the time who had insider intel because his bandmate's father was a music exec.

Read the comments on YT which are smart and insightful. One of them calling Grunge an unorganic movement in music that possibly had ties to Big Pharma to make depression a way of life (create the problem) and then sell the kids drugs (the solution).

Remember that blog post you read years back where radio DJs were called to a meeting and told they'd all be playing Gangsa Rap on their shows from now on? It's looking like that story was for real.

I think there is a lot of merit to this observation but I wouldn't give much credit to the 'happy rock' of the 70s and 80s... a whole lot of those dudes consistently dressed up like women/acted like faggots onstage even if their music wasn't as overtly depressing.

I recently watched this video which was interesting, made the progression of the cultural musical zeitgeist really obvious:

 
Hip Hop too me was the culmination of the End when it was the Standard Pipeline of Pop Music.

It all had Socially Destructive Elements, but the art or craft became dumber and dumber. Especially when everyone thought they could be Edge Lords.

I hate to break it to folks, but the Underground Alternative of the 70s to Early 90s generally carried the Creative and edgy, decades before trends became Mainstream.
 
The idea that 80s rock was OK is lamentable.

The corruption started in early 20th century when classical composers started producing jewish "music". Then Jazz came along straight from hell, abolishing all form and succumbing to improvization (i.e. being temporarily possesed by demons). Then, satanic Pelvis Cringley appeared "from nowhere", creating a whole new genre of music "completely spontaneously", corrupting the youth even further. Then, rock bands like Led Zepelin and the like sealed the deal and started preaching satanism in the open.

It was never OK. I know it's hard to accept.

Your assertation that all rock music is evil is not true at all. While bands like Led Zeppelin or their ilk do not hold up to Christian values, many rock bands do as they sang about other things like romantic love. Not every rock band in existence promoted sex. And not all of us want to listen to CCM 24/7.

IMO, there was good rock and pop music in the 80s that even Christians could listen to. I'm not going to post it here though because we have other threads for that.
 
I think it's like everything, through a Predominantly Jewish Run Enterprise the Talent and artistic ability is interwoven and you can enjoy those factors, But unfortunately it's a Tool of Degenerate & Anti Christian Propaganda. Today it's like the Lowest Common Denominator of Sensation is the Norm with Hip Hop especially.

Definitely one of my struggles I wrestle with. Much of the 80s Avante Garde I enjoyed is full of Cultural Marxism. Not all, but much of it.

I agree, I have a playlist put together of wholesome 80s pop music hits with no degeneracy, one would be hard pressed to put together a playlist of this size with music from the last few decades.

It's similar to the film industry. On the whole it is inarguably thoroughly Jew-controlled and has been used to engineer cultural degeneracy over time and spread propaganda, but there are still plenty of films out there that are genuine art with content that uses the medium to uplift and empower.

I know it's hard pill to sollow but ALL rock music is evil, just like all jazz music is evil, regardless of the lyrics or the band's intentions. It was a satanic subversion from the beginning. The music itself, its very sound, is unatural, it quenches the Spirit and stirs the passions.

Music is a spiritual event because it commands our full attention and penetrates the soul. If the sound is ungodly, the soul feels it.

1. St. Augustine of Hippo (4th century)
“Thus I float between the danger of pleasure and the experience of the profit which this musical practice offers… I am inclined rather (though I pronounce no irrevocable opinion) to approve of the custom of singing in the Church, so that by the delight of the ears the weaker may be roused to feelings of devotion; yet when it happens to me that the music moves me more than the subject of the song, I confess myself to have sinned wickedly, and then I would rather not hear the music.”

2. Clement of Alexandria (c. 150–215 AD)
“Let our songs be hymns to God. Let us praise Him in a sober style with a chaste mind. [...] Leave to the Grecians their instruments of strife; for they are suited for war and battle, not for peace and love.”

3. Boethius (6th century)
“Music is so naturally united with us that we cannot be free from it even if we so desired. [...] Therefore, music must be used in such a way that it leads the soul to virtue.”

“Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior.”

4. St. John Chrysostom (4th century)
“David formerly sang songs, and demons fled; now also, when spiritual songs are sung, the evil spirit departs, and the Holy Spirit descends, bringing a multitude of blessings.”

3. St. Basil the Great (c. 330–379 AD)
“The art of music is given by God to help us in our efforts to attain virtue.”

Even B.C., Plato believed that music literally molds the soul and can be used to subvert a society:
“Music is a more potent instrument than any other for education, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul.”

“When modes of music change, the fundamental laws of the state always change with them.”

“Our music was once divided into its proper forms… but this new type of music seeks to subvert all this.”

And all the above rhymes very well with my own experience:
before Christ I used to love rock music, after Christ I can't stand it.
 
"Rock" music is such a wide genre, it covers pretty much every modern quartet (or a trio, or a duo, occasionally even a whole orchestra) music with electric guitars. From pop music to extreme death metal. Would you consider, for example, Nightwish, who are writing and singing secular songs about beauty in all of her forms, to be certainly Satanic?
