Idolizing Commercialized Product

As a society we worship celebrities, consequently devoting personal time and effort into carefully examining their behavior. The controversy associated with paying respect and idolizing these public figures is the mere fact that the ideology to which they personify correlates to the actions and style of the fans and viewers of their commercialized product. In today's entertainment industry it is difficult to correlate the difference between real and fake, the music industry has very much become corrupted with various marketing ploys to entice young viewers into believing, that everything they say in their songs is really true. Whether it be from Hip Hpp artists, rappers, or rock stars, the music industry is a money making ploy, therefore artists today will say anything to gain recognition,sometimes with no validity or substance. That doesn't mean everything out there in the entertainment industry doesn't have no truth to it, the generalization however is that, Rap artists especially, Rap about the trails and tribulations in their live, the money, and girls to which they have in their live. To any young viewer witnessing that information has a profounding affect on their mental psyche, whether we like to admit it or come to the conclusion, their influence is on the average teenagers style, life, and actions, it is not a great lifestyle to be exemplifying to future generations, as the media only grows bigger, more commercialized and more popular to today's youth.
