The objective of this thesis is to explain and better understand the reoccurring themes and symbols in the music industry that are seen as evil, and which are commonly associated with the infamous, secret society: The Illuminati. It is important to know the significance of these themes and symbols, and the effect they have on the viewers on a subconscious level. This, in turn, allows a better understanding of the future of the American music industry (which, in part, influences the future of society). The paper begins with a brief overview of the Illuminati and their main objectives. Moving towards a history of symbols used, the basis of this research is an analysis of various music videos (including a live performance) and how they affect the public through two negative ways: instilling a satanic presence through rituals and reinforcing sexual perversion. In conclusion, there are many themes and symbols that appear repeatedly in the music industry that should not be ignored due to their significance. Although the spectrum of music videos that have these negative effects is quite broad and difficult to summarize in one study, this research will act as a stepping stone into a much needed realm of exploration
