Stop Blaming Musicians For Negative Human Behavior


Entertainment is bought to our attention through different platforms, among its creators we find musicians. Musicians rap or sing about their life experiences with the aim to entertain. As an individual who listen to this music you have a choice to decide on how to react to what their saying.
 
So often you find people blaming musicians that they are responsible for the behavior of people that they influence in a bad manner. The musicians are not to be blamed, but instead the listeners who allow the musicians to influence them. If the blame is really on the musician then people should be fair and acknowledge the good ideas highlighted by some artists, because they don’t sing about the same perspectives regarding their experiences, so it is likely that some do promote positive attitude. A good example is the campaign “SHOUT for a safer South Africa” initiated by Kabelo Mabalane and Danny K. 
 
I admit, we see musicians as our role models but let’s not forget that at the end of our listening session of a particular song, you are an individual who is capable of making his/her choices. Lets stop being judgmental and stand proud for our musicians who manage to entertain us.
