A Definition of Worldliness

A Definition of Worldliness: In Concise Theology, J.I. Packer defines it as "any internalizing of the earthbound self-absorption of the people of this world."

My sister, a good friend, and myself all run a blog. We just started a book study on the book Worldliness. I really love that book!

so how can I apply this definition, say to my music listening choices? "any internalizing"--does that mean agreement? or does it have to do more with diet? U2s new album is coming & Coldplay is great but am I being worldly because I know their songs, sing along and start thinking the same thoughts as they do? Is that the internalization? How do we determine which song(s) is/are full of self-absorption? I guess I need to attempt to figure out all the "self-absorption" would include--beliefs, philosophies, opinions? Sorry for all the questions.
