One of the biggest moral panics concerning the music industry at this moment in time is the term "ILLUMINATI". Virtually everyone living on this planet over the last 5 years must have heard the word being used and know some information about the group. I feel that without the media not a lot of people would know about this secret society. The internet especially youtube is playing a major role in getting the information to the people of the society. Basically what the media tells us is that all these really big famous artists are made to write their name in blood to sign a deal(Record Deal). They really are selling their soul to the devil and the Illuminati.
The artist must now do everything that the Illuminati tell them - they must do pyramid gestures, put satanic symbols in their videos, and rap/sing about matters that are corrupting society (money, sex, violence, women, drugs.)
In return, the Illuminati will give the artist instant fame and recognition. They promise the artist a beautiful lifestyle. However, every artist at some point regrets the contract. They become imprisoned. They cannot stop singing/rapping. They're "married to the game" - Eminem.
After this is all done the artist will then do one thing that will generate a lot of media coverage which will then throw them into stardom, e.g, Paris Hilton came out with a sextape, Lady Gaga came out with one single and rose to fame instantly, she is now an icon, etc.
Another thing that has being occuring is the fact that because the symbols of the Illuminati is freely available on the internet and the characteristics of a song affiliated to the illuminati is accesible, a lot of artists both signed and unsigned are now including these symbols in their songs to generate hype and to get the media talking about them, a tactic that is really working for these artists.
