Is Rock Music To Blame For Violence?

An early(a) twenty-four hours and a new crime committed by pupils in an Ameri thunder mug High School involving firearms. No longer does this event shock fellowship, only when instead it is seen as a problem that needs to be solved. The state-supported cig art only guess what it is leading teens into carrying out such unthinkable actions at their age. What is it in their youth culture that is causing them to circle into murderers? matchless fantasy is that perhaps the tremble medicament of today and its often gaga and disturbing lyrics and videos may be parti all toldy to blame, tho preciselyt end this telephone circuit be justified? Is it the persecuteony steering people to emphasis or do vulnerable minds just turn to dark medical specialty as they cerebrate with the often-sinister lyrics and the repulsive images portrayed?Music has numerous well-kn testify benefits nearly argon associated with helping to control emotion. It is at the heart of most accessible gatherings and on that point is a margin call or tune for every mood. By learning to play music it has been proved that better academic potentiality and skills can be achieved. Because of music providing entertainment, there are many social benefits that come from liking a particular genre as friends can be found with a common interest, the music.Rock music is a very hearty and madnessate form of music that tends to draw in general those in early to mid teens yet un want many some other genres it seems to be able to hold on to its followers throughout the fans lifetimes. What is it that draws in so many greensters? Why do they step the need to achieve involved in what is seen to be a dark gentlemans gentleman of offensive behaviour? It is a simple answer they thumb the need to associate with the others feeling the same strain as they do as they trial to gain freedom and identity in a confusing solid ground. The lyrics are real and dont track from the bad parts of l ife, the passion is so strong people know that the performers have felt what theyre singing about. It is a humans about being you and being able to escape from growing pressures. emotionally adolescence is very tough indeed and many fans feel waver music helps them to cope with the feelings rather than it causing them to become yet much incontrollable.It gives me more(prenominal) of a relief of tension than actually making me wasteAlisha (19) Dum Dums essence BoredIf I need to chill or have a little cry the music helpsKate (18) Dum Dums Message BoredIt helps because you know other people have had the same experiences as you you are not exclusivelyIvy Brandybuck Dum Dums Message BoredYet there is a prospect that the music could be twisting the progenys minds and turning them to unmoral behaviour especially as joggle music has forever and a day had its roots in shadowy circumstances. It is thought many of the images portrayed in the early days of psychedelic shiver com e from hallucinations caused by drugs such as LSD. The lyrics became confused and dream- alike. The progression from this was to music associated with matchism and the persuade world portrayed this as a unravel against religions, particularly Christianity and today we have artist such as Marilyn Manson who are publicly Anti-Christ (Hopefully Ill be remembered as the person who brought an end to Christianity Manson luxurious 1996) and members of the church of Satanism. Such changes in the style of music gave artists a more individual rebel image that is often idolised by the young as they fight society to gain freedom and search for their own identity. It is also thought the rise in interest in this grease of music may be down to an overall rise in society of interest around fantasy, black magic and surrealism as the black letter image became popular in the late 70s and since then the obsession with the darker side and Satan has grown causing production of music that is pushing the teachings of the devilWe all congratulations the devilHe is so fineWe all praise the devilTill the day well dieSad IronThe appearing rock music has been given begins with the appearance given out by the performers themselves. Covered in dark and sinister make-up and dressed in Halloween type outfits, just by looking at rock stars you can see where the concern is coming from. Notorious for wrecking hotel rooms as well as abusing alcohol and recreational drugs and often having criminal records or accusations behind them. They stand out as individuals, what youngsters in their early teens command to be like. They idolise this life wishing they could lead the lives of the stars they follow, like the majority of their peers. It isnt unnatural for them to want to be like the performers but the appearance, attitudes and actions of the performers can be so extreme they become d impatienceous for a vulnerable young to copy.I dont think its the music itself the affects the way peopl e act but the attitudes of the people who sing them. They should be careful about what they do and adduce because theres always some people who will think what theyre doing is fine and go ahead and do it themselvesdum girl Dum Dums Message BoredThe most badgering rock genre is the most hardcore type that seems to many to be pushing the use of drugs and violence, particularly against women. It is this aspect of rock that is the most polemical with many opponents who fear it is damaging the minds of the young. Lyrics constantly refer to abuse against women knowledgeable violence, self-harming and drug abuse and contain a large amount of aristocratic or offensive language. The following is a classic example of violence and sexual abuse being expressed in a songI am a big man (yes I am) and I have a big gun for hire, got me big old dick and I like to have fun, held it against your forehead, Ill make you suck it, maybe Ill put a hole in your head you know, just for the f**k of it. im every inch of a man, and Ill show you somehow me and my f**king gun nothing can stop me shoot shoot shoot. nine-spot Inch Nails Big Man with a gunIt is not always clear what the lyrics are but now with the age of the music videos the scenes can be acted out so the public has constant access to the on-key horror the musicians are essay to portray through the lyrics and music itself. It is angry music written about anger and intended to alert minds. The salient images of sick actions are there to draw in the audience, to bring them into a disturbed world of mental torture. By glorifying these images and ideas it is thought the performers are promote violence in society, particularly in the young as they pare to be noticed. The most worrying thought is that maybe these images are causing people to accept such actions as part of life.The move external from Christianity so far that it causes anti-religion is also an area for concern. Religion gives society many of its morals and if people are seeing no faith in it then why should they follow its beliefs? Also it is seen as good to be going against the bibles teachings so the more the church condemns the rock world, the more possible the rock world is to fight back harder against it. The problem lies with Christian rock music as some extreme evangelists believe even the remonstrate generation are from the devil but many Christians believe this is a imbalanced viewthese anti-rock people claimed that not only were the lyrics leading teenagers to damnation, but the beat of the music was evil itself as it came from tribes affiliated with SatanThis theory laid low(p) me as harder to swallow than subconscious messages we allegedly received from secular musicTaryn Crafy gal StumpWhat many people seem to not recognise is that the images and lyrics are there to represent the state of society and where the performer sees it is heading, kind of like a warning to the world. The trouble with this is do we know i f society is course going in that direction or if its the music steering us that way.Rock music has always set out to cause bitterness and portray the darker occult society. It could not survive if people did not feel associated with the statements it makes. Maybe youth is drawn into it just now out of rebellion against the society they grow up in or maybe they see rock as the only form of art that reflects how the world is changing or the real passion behind emotions they often feel. The ideas are new and saucy and give teens a sense of individuality. People who are angry at life and are naturally aggressive are more likely to turn to gaining an image that portrays that so fall straight into the rock world. The anger against religion is simply a fight back because many fans feel let down by the disappointment of not receiving a contented life but believe in a god.In the world there are many fans of all levels of rock and the proportion of these who turn to violence is not excep tionally high. Yes maybe the amount of untrained young offenders who listen to hardcore rock may be high but perhaps this is because they have always been unnaturally fascinated by the world of the occult sinisterism and the music they listen to simply portrays this. The majority of fans know that what seems to be very evil anti-society behaviour is in fact just a go at all the critics and the critics themselves by apposing the rock world is simply making it more popular.There has always been a problem with rock music and its sinister side. It seems the violence portrayed was make worse by the introduction of videos where performers could add disturbing visualisations to their already violent lyrics. I do not however feel that these images alone can turn a mind to violent crime. In society we are all made fully aware of what is morally seen to be right and wrong and we cannot hide from that. Most followers of the hardcore rock genres are just like everyone else only they dress diff erently. All in all it depends on how a listener portrays what the performer is saying. Most realise they are not trying to convert everyone into criminals.In conclusion I feel that it is not the music and in particular rock music that is causing violence among the teens in America but I feel that the extreme hardcore rock may not be helping to solve the problem and its violent lyrics and videos may be putting ideas into the heads of the already disturbed. It is a free passion form of music and to most people it helps them cope with difficult emotions and helps them to understand pain by comforting them with reassurance they are not alone. As for the ghostlike aspect, why should people be scorned at for not believing in a certain way? The world if free and there is no proof rock music is causing great harm so it, like the rest of society, should be free to be expressed.
