In an age of error the most influential thing in a child and or a teenagers life is music. Whether it be Reggae, Hip Hop, Gangster Rap, R&B, Oldies Rock, Latin, or Heavy Metal it still has a way to overpower a persons mind no matter how old they are. Right now pretty much everybody that I talk to when I am on the Internet like Rap. I don't understand how people could listen to non-stop cursing and fast-paced lyrics. Even though my opinion of the music isn't so great the singers have to get some credit for being able...
the music told them to go out and kill someone.

It wasn't their entire fault that they did that horrifying thing, it was also their parent's fault. I say this because I highly doubt that the parents of those kids expressed their love for them very often. The tabloids make everything seem worse than it really is, or they never really uncover the real facts. They are always working off of other people's opinions about the situations.

I will leave you with this quote, "I think the music works around the people, not the world works around the music".
