The negative effect of rock music on youthBY: adonais | Category: Entertainment | Post Date: 2008-09-22
Music has an uncanny power to transform the life of people all over the world irrespective of their race, culture or gender. Music unarguably enjoys the position of the most influential universal language. Music forms a separate culture group spread across the world in its variety of forms. The different genres of music constitute these various forms of music. Like any thing in the world, music can also be disastrous if it falls in the hands of the wrong section of the society. Rock music is a genre of music that uses guitar, drum and bass, which contribute to its noisy music. It was originated in the western world, but took little time to gain fans all over the world. Within a short span of time, youth across the world were madly in love with rock music. In the modern age rock music has turned out into a prominent factor that decides the style of dress, language and fashion of the younger generation. Many studies have proved that rock music negatively affect the mental framework of its listeners quite unconsciously. The most negative part of rock music is its heavy metallic sound, which unconsciously makes its listeners violent. Rock music can cause a phenomenon called nerve jamming which is similar to hypnosis. It has been pointed out that the younger people who is under the mesmerizing influence of rock music lose conscious control of their mind and succumb themselves to the pessimistic messages conveyed by most music bands. Thus, rock music is spiritually, mentally and physically harmful to the people, especially the youth. An often-cited example in this case is that of a sixteen-year-old boy in Texas, U.S.A who was taken into a trance like state while listening to rock song that he became violent and unconsciously murdered his aunt. Thus, music even has the weird power to transform the common person into murderers and social nuisances. Unlike rock music, Classical music has a soothing effect on the mind. The explicit lyrics of the rock music induce violence in young people. On April 20, 1999, two teenagers killed 12 of their peers, a teacher, and themselves at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo. The Littleton killers idolized shock-rocker Marilyn Manson, The facts of these and other instances of youth violence parallel the music these boys consumed. Manson dwells on revenge and violence against the objects of his hatred. In one song, he says, -he will shoot the next bully who bothers him-. Most youngsters are attracted by these violent lyrics that they are transformed into murderers and antagonists. Many of the adolescent kids show an ability to derive a meaning of their convenience from the lyrics of the rock songs. For example, youth came up with a different interpretation of Madonna's -Papa don't preach-. Some consider this song as related to the theme of ‘true love', while some consider it as talking about the conflicts between parent and child. Majority of modern rock songs are antagonistic, encouraging violence against women. Most of the younger generation spends their time watching music videos. Studies have shown that most of the modern music videos promote violence and obscenity. This has an adverse effect on the personality of children who listen to it. Drugs and alcohol are an unavoidable element of most of the rock music shows. Music being the language of style of youth, most of the rock stars are their role models. They imitate their heroes' lifestyle and dress. Unfortunately, most of the music stars, hypnotized by their fame and money lead an immoral life of drugs, sex and violence. The adolescents blindly follow the rock stars and worship them as demy gods. Thus, the rock stars negatively influence today's youngsters. Rock music can also be called satanic since it even spreads blasphemy through its lyrics. Modern world is now facing the disastrous consequences of rock music on society. Banning of this genre of music is not the practical solution to this problem. Enlightening youth and parents about the adverse effects of rock music can solve this problem to a great extent Article Source: http://www.saching.com About Author / Additional Info: A postgraduate whose passion is writing,writing and writing Additional Articles: * Black Hat Search Engine optimization * Signs of Depression.
