HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT HOW WHAT YOU LISTENED TO MAY AFFECT YOUR BEHAVIOR??
Recent studies have shown that in many areas as the number of hip-hop clubs and population of people involved in gangs increases, so do violent crimes such as murders, rapes, domestic violence and other hate crimes. However, that is only involving hip-hop and rap music. Other studies have shown clear relations between negative behaivors and rock music.
For example, "In a town called Jefferson-Township, (New Jersey), a youth named Thomas Sullivan stabbed his mother, Betty-Ann, to death in the basement of their house. Setting fire to the divan with the aim of destroying the house and killing his father and younger brother, he ran outside and committed suicide by slashing his wrists. All week long before this carnage, Thomas had been humming a rock song about blood and killing your mother. Police later established that Thomas was a talented student, outstanding sportsman and had belonged to the Scouts. He began to dabble in "hard metal" rock music and, before committing his crime, he confided to his friends that Satan appeared to him and ordered the killing of his family. (orthodoxphotos.com)
I believe that this is an apparent connection. However, not all music is bad. Many songs also contain hidden messages involving God, love, and friendship. Because of this distinct difference, we should monitor what we listen to in order to reduce the number of crimes who's causes can be related to negative music.
