ever since the wars raging in the middle east, great influences have been made on our pop culture. for instance, i have listened to the band linkin park and 30 seconds to mars. recently they have put out tracks that are greatly influcenced by political problems. the tracks deal with issues like global warming, the war in iraq, terrorism, ect. i do not mind listening to these songs, but i do prefer that they stick to their usual stuff. i think that the issue going on over seas are indeed important but should not mix with our music. many people are getting turned away from their most listened bands because of this influence. another influence i have seen, and i can atest to myself, is the influence of military uniforms/colors on our day to day outfits. many large and popular retail manufactuars have started to produce many military influenced cloths. this in turn is displayed in music vedios, tv, and in the street.
