Through the ages, people have created many different types of music, for many different reasons. Different people like different music, and it reflects our personalities, right? I'm not completely convinced.
It has been said by older generations for decades that the music the young are listening to is influencing them. Is this true? I don't think so, to me music is created to reflect something that is already in society. Just because a rapper says they beat a man within an inch in his life in their lyrics, doesn't mean that is why other people do so. The problem was there before the rapper was born, it's in society to begin with. The music just sheds light on the problem. The same is true for country singers. Just because a singer says they were cheated on and left for someone else, doesn't mean that no one would leave their partners without the song.
I am a great example. I listen to rap music and some heavy rock, yet I am an honors student who has never been in trouble with the law, or even the school. I was on every honor role, and always made curfew. How then can it be explained that my music, that I have listened to for years, has negatively affected me?
