The Effects of Hip Hop on Today's Youth

The impact of hip-hop music on today's youth Hip-hop music has a positive or negative impact on today's youth. Influence of hip-hop music, but has been controversial since it entered the social standards in the second half of the 20th century, hip-hop music is not only not a one-sided, Narie in both the plus and minus for today's youth I will. What is hip-hop? If you are talking about hip-hop fans, it is a word covering society as a whole (dance structure, graffiti symbol, fashion) (Selke INT).

So what is the relationship between hip-hop / rap and the adverse effect it has on young people? In Black Youth Program (Figure 1), sing the music is 58 percent of black youth and 23 percent of whites of young people every day, you have 25 percent of black youth and 5% of white young people listening to rap music. In another study, a survey published in the Journal of Adolescent Research, we found that there is a close relationship between the taste and the youth of the attitudes and behavior of the music. The survey, to investigate the youth (17-21 years) which revealed that their favorite music is hip-hop and rap, and music that 72% they have heard is actually affect in any way I was thinking. In addition, in this study, young people who listen to hip-hop and rap, was found to be more likely to exhibit risky behavior, such as risky sexual behavior or dangerous drug use.

Hip-hop is one of many ways to influence young people, but it is definitely not the only way. I am writing this article not to criticize hip-hop or rap music, but to make people aware of the way we can influence us, young people, and negative. By looking at hip-hop music videos and attracting drugs and sexual behavior, individuals may try to drink drugs or have multiple partners. Actually, the more people listen to hip-hop and rap music, the greater the impact on individuals.

Hip hop never required changing the world. But, it all did it itself in a noisy and stylish way. Imagine today's pop music not inspired by Hip Hop. Imagine the attitude of a young man who does not have a raptful spirit of hip hop ... the discussion about whether hip hop is important is gone forever. They are replaced by important issues, and the important question is who and what value is to determine how important hip hop is (page 6). Without a doubt, this is one of the most brutal satire in the rise of hip-hop and transformation. Indeed, its survival - actually the survival as pop culture - is almost entirely dependent on the sales force of Black Death. Hugging the gun, the authenticity of the gang and slums brings reputation and appeal to the cruel and annoying portrait of slums life (Watkins, 2005, pp. 2-3).
