I never understood music purity spiraling, and I say that as an extreme metal elitist. In 90% cases there is nothing wrong with modern songs in terms of degeneracy-promotion, it's the artists who are degenerate. It's a shitty music, sure, but they don't promote degeneracy for the most part, so I don't get the obsession. One can appreciate heroic and testosteroneous riffs of Amon Amarth despite them signaling they're not racist or homophobic on every single occasion.

Yes of course, I'm just saying that the influence of "degenerate music" is largely overstated, but I also think the influence of celebs is largely collapsing in a sense that nobody cares what Lady Gaga says or does anymore, her political/societal influence is being outsourced to more niche personas, i.e. John Oliver, Jon Stewart, et. al.
