Peace, family,
I wanted to ask why is sex, drugs, and violence glorified in young people's music,
The better off, affluent/upper middle class/better educated/ mostly white, being catered to by the media attacks on less well off/poor/working class/blacks, is nothing new!
but when they engage in sex, drugs, and violence, they are hated for engaging in those activities?
Disappointing, yes!
But hated by whom?!?
Sources of white attacks on all of us, ( even though we condemn and don't condone their backwardness), up to and including white preps fronting like black gangers as they mock such folks fronts etc., in their college campus frat houses, i. e., just another means/ways/etc. to flaunt their egos ad naseum..
Nothing or little different than poking fun at our forebears folk culture aka blacks ministry....
Though the Occupy and Tea Party factions easily reveals there's no 'one size fits all' notion of them either!
Then is: Cowards need scapgoats....
As in, make fun of others, misdirect criticisms of themselves....
You also wrote:
I believe that the music industry purposely gets artists to glorify drugs, sex, and violence.
Yes!
To undermine the black conscious movement of the sixties and seventies?
Of course!
But, these days we just make noise, whereas in the past folk made moves, i. e., such as boycotts and protests, i. e., our deeds backed up our words...
Simply put, our regression and retreat, which our young people are a case study of, has to be replaced with a rebirth of our desire to be the two equals of whites and/or all other ethnic/racial groups, in this nation....
FYI
