Music is important in the social and personal lives of adolescents. They cruise the streets in vehicles with pounding sub-woofers; 25,000-seat concert stadiums sell out in minutes; and billions of dollars are spent each year on tapes and compact discs. Between Grades 7 and 12, the typical adolescent spends over 10,000 hours listening to music, an amount of time similar to that spent in class by the time they graduate from high school.

We are so accustomed to it that we don’t even feel awkward about it rather take it as a fun statement. It does not mean that one particular matter is to be blamed for the degradation of society but to highlight a point which is prevalent but still missing from the eyes of society. Art needs to play a role and stop this menace becoming a norm of the society and this is a trivial effort in this direction.
