Is Drill Music Responsible For This?
When discussing drill music with people, the most frequent response is that it's violent. To some extent, it is. Drill music often explores themes of violence and anger. It can also be challenging to listen to for those who are sensitive to aggressive or violent content. What's more, drill music is often associated with the gang subculture. In addition to exploring themes of violence and anger, many drill songs include gang-related content such as references to specific gang colors or hand gestures. For these reasons, some have raised concerns about drill music's impact on youth. However, there's also a growing body of research on this topic. The research results vary depending on the study design and sample size but generally show that exposure to drill music doesn't increase aggression in young people. As one example, a 2016 study found that listening to rap music did not cause increased aggression among teenagers. Another study found that listening to aggressive rap music didn't make people more likely to join gangs.
Long story short; from my own experience and from what's been researched by neurologist and scientists like Joe Dispenza, the music we listen to send waves to the brain known as "Hertz" these frequencies are known to trigger certain emotions (first discovered in the Hemi Sync Experience) and has recently been used to treat mental health (I will get more into that in a later article) Are this tones triggering brain waves that cause people to act out in violence?
If the music we listen to can trigger certain emotions; then what happens when lyrics promoting violence is added?
Is this the ending result? What are you thoughts?
