Pink-Perfect/Selena Gomez-Who Says

Maybe some of the mother-daughter coalition is getting tired of all sex and anti-establishment songs. I think it's important to remember that group. Katy Perry's "Firework" did pretty well with a similar theme.
 
I'm getting kinda sick of this "perfect"/"who cares" theme...."Perfect", "Firework", "We R Who We R", "Who Says", "Born This Way", etc. Not that it's bad, just seems like too many people are doing it at once.
 
These are all catchy songs. I can appreciate the positive messages too. But besides being similar to each other I wonder if they set the young listeners up for future disappointment?

There is a part of "Who says" where Selena Gomez sings with such sincere sounding urgency "who says who says who says who says". The answer is sociological forces....They will still exist even if every song in the Top 40 tries to deny it.

Are these the same sociological forces that used to tell African Americans that they were second class citizens or women that they weren't equal to men?

Hasn't art (music included) always been at the forefront of leading societal change? I don't see the harm in reinforcing self-esteem in individuals that may not be getting it from sources like family, places of worship or friends.
 
Not only are these positive, uplifting songs, but they are catchy and hits. Maybe the world can have something other than sex/profane messages. I'm not a very religious, but I am a parent of a toddler and find myself tuning in to alternate place to find clean music.
