Conditioning The Working Class

Have you ever noticed in certain television shows that are about "the working class" (which, let's be honest, is now 99% of our society), the music reflects that particular class in the theme music.  Now I know that doesn't seem too controversial in itself.  Obviously television shows want their music to reflect a theme in the show.  I came about this thought in my mind while watching a show on Netflix called "My Boys."  If you haven't seen it, this show is a standard sitcom where the characters spend most of their time drinking and playing poker and then just waking up the next day in order to do it again once they are done with work.  The shows theme song is mostly comprised of a harmonica.  This music is reminiscent to music one might associate with the kind of music that the original working class of this country, (the coal miners, railway workers, etc...) might have listened to.  This might seem far fetched, however, just think about it.  With this music having such an association, and the audiences identifying with this "working class" mentality, this music seems to be a construct for conditioning purposes.  All of our mass media is a never ending distraction from what we should really be paying attention to.  We zone out from reality as much as we can until we have to get back into it the next day.  This music, in a sense, conditions people to accept their place in life, and spend their time "unwinding" and getting ready to do it all over the next day.  It is because of "the working class" now taking up 99% of our society, that such a possibility scares me to death.  If 99% of our population is being conditioned to accept their place in society, how many are going to wake up and actually take a stand against it.  We are constantly being conditioned to believe "this isn't so bad," when in actuality it really is.  Just think about this the next time you are watching a good old sitcom.  Take a minute to ask yourself, "what am I being conditioned to believe?"
