Time is a construct and has no inherent attributes of altering events and situations. It is quite significant that the tumultuousness of the world in the days of the pandemic were at individuals' acme and their only hope laid in the rising of a new sun that suggested an end to the pandemic though it had no existential effects on the pandemic.

The lessons earthed in this article are the various strives and perils individuals, companies, entrepreneurs and governments had to be engulfed in, as this pandemic brought a halt to the operations of various productive ventures. Also, social fulfillment became far from reach just as socialisation became distant. It is these quandaries that birthed forth the age of Genge music.
Gengetone music is a genre which evolved from Genge music genre which was characterized by boy bands and objectifying women who were made to dance in scanty dresses. They had their lyrics based on drug abuse, alcoholism as well as sexual matters.
The pandemic have had an influence on Gengetone as it saw a lyrical evolution. This was more of a market strategy as consumers would prefer any sort of entertainment which made reference to their current state, hence the surge in the number of listeners who patronised the Gengetone genre of music. This brought a relief from social and economic pressures that musicians were going through while bringing to light matters which were least discussed. Gengetone music emphasized on pressing relationship and sexual health matters while influencing advertising agencies in that area, who borrowed lines and stanzas of lyrics from this genre of music.

The article is well presented and has a simple, easy to read diction. There is a direct order to which the various facts correlate, and it inspires innovation and creativity in the seasons of conundrums and mishaps.
