Spyro Blames Decline of Conscious Music for Society’s Moral Decay
Nigerian singer Spyro has raised concerns about the state of music today, claiming it has lost its true meaning.
The conscious music advocate said the decline of valuable music has contributed to the moral decay in society.
According to Spyro, artists used to deliver meaningful messages in their songs, no matter the genre.
Today, he says, music is mostly about vibes, and while that can be enjoyable, it often lacks substance.
He added that the emotional impact of music has diminished.
Where songs once gave listeners goosebumps, modern tracks often prioritize entertainment over message.
In as much as vibes are cool, I feel like music has lost its intrinsic value. Back then, you would get goosebumps listening to music. Vibes are cool. But how can we infuse messages, values into vibes?
Spyro believes this shift has affected society at large, linking the rise of decadence to the focus on music as a business rather than a tool for impact.
The singer emphasized that many artistes are now making music primarily for money, rather than to inspire or educate their audience.
