Violence in music

nowadays, nothing influences these little bastards, it's just a yearning to be seen as one of the cool/hardcore/rebellious kids

Anyways, I was thinking about violence in song lyrics. Do you think kids are influenced, even subconsciously, by songs that are about violence? Do you think the artists who use said lyrics in their songs actually advocate violence, or that they just do it because it seems to be the current trend in several genres?

Rap music and rock music makes me feel like fighting 🙂

But then again, after listening to Britney spears for 4 hours, I stabbed 10 people 🙂

For me personally, music makes me less violent, becuase I can vent it out through the music. Alhtough often when Im listening to heavier stuff I get an adrenaline rush, and feel violent, afterwards, Im more calm than before.

There are songs that do fill me with adrenaline to the point that I feel I could dive through a wall, but that's as far as it goes- feeling it.

It comes down to the individual. Music isnt gonna make you go postal-unless you had problems to begin with
