Prophets, Porn Stars, and Playlists: How Modern Music Lost Its Soul - and Why It Still Deserves to Be Saved
By Kenneth Hillyard Modern music is everywhere - and somehow, it means nothing. In this scathing, brutally honest, and ultimately hopeful manifesto, Kenneth Hillyard unpacks the quiet tragedy of a music industry that's traded soul for strategy, vulnerability for virality, and depth for algorithm-approved dopamine. What used to be sacred - the song, the artist, the listener - has been flattened into background noise, branding, and "content." But this isn't just a critique. It's a confession. A reckoning. A love letter to the artists still fighting to be real in a system designed to reward the fake. With chapters that expose the rise of soulless hits, the fall of artist integrity, and even a real-world social experiment involving a fake all-female band called Prophetic Porn Stars, this book asks the questions so many are afraid to voice: Why does empty music rise while honest songs disappear? Can real art survive when the algorithm decides what we hear? What role do we, the listeners, play in shaping the future of music? Through essays, reflections, and one final, quiet plea, Prophets, Porn Stars, and Playlists invites readers to stop scrolling, start listening - and maybe, start caring again. For fans of real music.
For defenders of the imperfect.
For anyone who still believes a song can change something.
