C'mon my friend said:
"Ok, dude. When you become a singer pretend the world goes on a really big recession. People are not gonna buy music or go to shows. It wouldn't help anyone progress in life! They're just gonna download your material."

But the problem is that I know too many people think music is just for entertainment and nothing else... I want to be a singer really bad, I've always loved to sing so that's my dream.

but now I feel like I'm gonna be useless... I mean can't music have a message that impacts society? Cant music relax people after a hard day?

I feel useless

That really annoys me. If you were to become a singer, it shouldn't bother you whether people download your music so long as they are listening to it.
Ugh.

Music has different affects on people.
So you can't really change people who just find it enteraining.
Others will find the words to help them.
So don't take it personal.

There is a great difference between a pencil and a pen.

Anyone who says music is just for entertainment is wrong.  Music is a message conveyor.  It NATURALLY carries messages to an audience and this is because people listening to the music are listening to the words, and therefore the words are being planted in both their conscious minds and unconscious alike

Music speaks to the soul. It is a way to communicate with other people, to share common themes, to unite around common interests. It speaks to people in a way that words alone cannot.

It depends on the music in question.  

Like boy bands: they're so contrived, they're just there to make money.  Sure, "You're Tearin' Up My Heart" probably helped someone in the world get through a rough time, but that probably wasn't the first thing the band and managers and producers had in mind when they recorded the song.

But music is like movies and literature and other media in that sometimes it's just there to entertain and isn't especially essential, but sometimes it can be a lot more.
