Music has a strong influence on society and the lives of people. Everyone is affected differently by music either on a positive or negative way. Music has become something that we are always exposed to. It has been around for many years and is loved by all. Music has a negative impact on many individuals, mostly teens. Certain genres of music, namely RAP, is been criticised as having a negative influence on teens behaviours and corrupting their minds as the lyrics carry misleading messages. Rap music which is known for its vulgar language and rhythmic poetry sometimes carries misleading messages such as implying that drugs, crime and rebellious behaviour is acceptable. But it is not appropriate to blame the music for corrupting the teens as music is a form entertainment. In clubs and parties it is the music and the atmosphere that’s created by it that makes people enjoy their evening out. Music also has the potential to relax ones mind after a hard days of work and also to change a persons mood. Music is made for the enjoyment of all people. There have been significant changes in music from the 60’s to the 70’s to the 80’s. There now exists a wider market for music and also more genres. Everyday life will not be possible without music. Think about how boring a long journey would be without music. How dull a party will be without dance and entertainment?

yes i agree, music was very important and still is. you cannot blame rap artists for the songs they sing because those are the songs they sing and it falls under the hip-hop genre. so if any is to blame it is the people who listen to it, simply because if you enjoy that type of music you shopuld listen and enjoy it but not let it control you and construct your identity.
music can also be a huge inspiration to people from all over the world and it should be appreciated in whatever form or language it is in.
