Hip-hop singer wrong to pander to vulgar tastes

WANG HAO, a hip-hop singer known as PG One by his fans, has provoked public outrage because some of his lyrics encourage people to take drugs and are degrading of women. Thepaper.cn commented on Sunday:

While the latest music trends are often seen as corrupting the minds of the young, with older generations expressing outrage at the shock of the new as values change, Wang, who won a national hip-hop talent show last year, has failed to shoulder his social responsibility as a celebrity.

He is setting a very bad example for his fans, especially impressionable young people, who are the main followers of hip-hop music.
