Is it just me or have you guys noticed there has been an increase in "witchcraft" and occult concepts since 2020.
I have noticed it too! I don't know if it's because I practice those things and notice it easily or if the industry has been going in this direction. But imma add my two cents (For reference, I practice being a psychic/medium, tarot, astrology, numerology).
During the pandemic, a lot of people went into new-age spiritual/occult practices. It was a trend for some, but a lot of people stuck with it. I think the Entertainment Industry realized this and now is releasing things with these images/practices. Astrology, Numerology, Tarot, and Spirituality (In general) has been more embraced this generation than the past as well. These things can be used for good, but also for bad as well and well....it's the industry so assume the negative or some twisting of it.
Also, Satanism/Luciferism and other religions of that nature have been embraced by this generation as well. This makes it easier for companies to push "demonic" or "dark" images more easily. This can be a problem/is a problem due to our subconscious picking up things (some pick it up easily than others). Since our subconscious is 90% while our conscious is 10%, it's important to choose what you watch carefully and be aware of what you are watching (even if you are sleeping, your brain still picks up things).
I think though the reason why KPOP is shown to have more of these concepts than American music is because KPOP tends to have a cult following. This makes it easier for companies to put these agendas (positive or negative) in Music Videos and get away with it. Nobody gonna question it because their fave is sooooo cute.
So Yeah. That's my two cents and my observations.
