As we grow up many of us have a hard time fitting in. Most of the time we allow music to place us in certain groups and talk to only certain people. As for people that listen to rap may not like the ones that listen to country. They begin to categorize who they talk to and judge others based on the music that they listen to. They single people out and begin to bully them because that individual is not just like them. Then that can lead to many other bad things. I am not blaming all music for negatively influencing the youth, but a lot of it is to blame.
As rap has been a negative influence on a lot of people, others have a way of not letting it even get to them. In rap music they talk a lot about drugs, sex, and violence. As a strong individual I know that certain music is not something that will ever make me change who I want to be or stop me from succeeding in life. Although for younger individuals it may be harder for them to understand what is better for them and what is something they should stay away from. They may not know how to say no or make there own decisions for what they want. Many young adults have a stronger will then others. Some of them are able to decide there own paths and others are letting music choose for them. If there favorite singer is singing about something that is not right for them to do then they may think it is okay to do.
One rapper that is being criticized about his music is Lil’ Wayne. He is talking bad about women and degrading them in his music. This is something that can really affect young men and the way they treat women. There behavior can become violent towards others and they may not think it is wrong because the one person they idolize is doing the same. This is something that really needs to change with the music today and it may even make a difference on the behavior of our youth today.
