For some people music is art, but for others is so they can express themselves. Music has been part of our history. It has been used in many cultures and traditions to express their feelings. Different people have different taste, and various types of music have many ways of leaving an impact on someone. It can be relaxing, angering, and many more. Nowadays teens have taken music to another level that changes their perspective about the way they feel and see things towards one another.
Music sends either good or bad messages that have a big impact on how teens may act. Nowadays there is a lot of music with tons of profanity. Teens may act a certain way or say certain things when hearing certain songs. Music may influence a teen in a good way but most teens never tend to pick up the good things about music. Music gives a teen a certain style and attitude.
One of the most influencing behaviors was the Columbine High School shooting, in which twelve students as well as a teacher were fatally injured, as well as 24 others who were injured. Learning the prior to their suicides, the two shooters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, were heavy metal and Goth music fans, it seemed to be that the media immediately instilled a moral panic about that particular genre of music. Music had taken a big part of the two kids action. It all depends on the person; as well there are people who begin to use drugs when listening to a certain type of music. There are also people like me that music has no effect on them.
Music is there and will always be there. Unfortunately we don't have a say on what other people may do when listening to a certain type of music. Music artist have to realize what they are doing to the society with their music and make a change. We as the people also have to be smart and not let the music have a bad influence on us. What is done is already done and we just have improve on the music that we listen to today.
