Question
Are teens negatively influenced by rock music?

Answer
Ok I've answered this question a million times and I believe the answer you are looking for is in one of my previous answers. Please go to the previous answers because I go into a lot more detail then I will right now and I covered a huge topic.

Onto your question, well music in general is influential. Music can teach you to hate or to love. To be inspired or to be depressed. Like for instance Rap music, a song like "ridin" by Chamillionare could teach you to hate the cops and want to kill them for their oppression on black people. At the same time, a rock song called "If everyone cared" by Nickleback can teach you to love and be in peace. Of course all genres have bot influences. So if you ask me straight up if rock music influences teens negatively, then I will say yes, yes it does; BUT keep in mind that so does every other type of music. Opera, Orchestral, country and pop are included into this. Don't believe me? Watch Gladiator, the Orchestra's score is so powerful and makes you feel more manly and want to go into battle. Country, if you really listen, have some bad songs as well. So to say rock music can influence teens negatively is sort of a bias. Not all rock music is negative, just like not all Chinese people are good at math (I can say that cause I am Asian ^_^). I hope that answers your question. If you interested more, please look at my previous answers and if there is a topic I have not covered, feel free to ask.
