In the Pop Music world, there is one very specific type of music group that stands out amongst all others. This would be Boy Bands.

Profanity in pop music has become a major burden on today’s society and is negatively affecting the behavior of the listeners. It does not have a positive message and it tells the listener that doing the wrong ok. It contradicts what the Bible says.
