The truth is, the battle over music was been raging for years.
"Music has a hypnotic notion to it, and just like you can brainwash people by repeating the same things to them daily, repeated violent music has the same effect." (Bill Clinton as reported in ) There's no doubt that music is a powerful thing. And while it in itself is a type of self-expression, it created another with its existence: dancing. There isn't a person alive who can say that they don't enjoy some type of music. Adults typically use music to relax and mellow out after a long day of work, letting music take over their minds for a while. But while many adults do indeed love music, their love doesn't even compare to how teenagers view music. Music is their life in may cases, and many basically live for that purpose. Many teenagers go through the motions of home and school, only coming alive when their favorite song comes on, or when they go to a concert. But while adults use music to relax or mellow out, teenagers express every emotion possible through music: anger, aggression, sadness, love, grief, hate, and jealousy. Which brings us to the question: Since teenagers are already emotionally unstable, does music have a positive or negative effect on them?.
In the examples listed above, it is no doubt that music did have a factor in the events. With the recent uprising of rap and hip-hop music, violence in songs has become something that the public just accepts. However, looking the other way may be taking a toll on today's youth. Recently, crimes committed by teenagers where after they were apprehended, they listed music as a reason have skyrocketed in recent years, and it's no wonder. Everyone knows that teenagers are very impressionable, and when a popular song talks about violence, many kids listen. This becomes what is "cool" and they try to be just like it. So when artists talk about getting into fights, gangs, guns, and running from the police, kids listen and try to form themselves to that depiction of what is "cool.
