Negative Influence

To an extent, does music have a negative influence on the behavior of youth? In my opinion I do but then I don't think so. I do think about some people who actually really pay attention to what songs say and follow what they say even if it is the most negative opinion possible. They do that to follow what they are doing because at some point they think its cool and everyone starts saying or doing things that are said in the music. Not all songs are bad but some have a lot of cursing and stereotype people in different ways.
Many people can say that music cant influence people in a negative way, but if you think about it it actually can. Especially the youth. Youth today, seem to be easily influenced by what others tell them to do because it is popular or in style. I know not ALL youth are influenced but it is a great number.
I know from experience that from songs especially from Lil Wayne or Drake who are very popular right now, they like to call girls a profanity word. They make it seem like it is ok to call someone that or use language like they do. Many youth like to curse now and sort of change their behavior towards adults and people superior to them. I think youth now are just trying to fit in and find out who they are because they go through many different stages in their life. Youth go through so many changes in themselves and their life, so music makes them feel possibly how they want to feel or want to feel. This topic has many answers and won't ever have one answer to it.
I know music can be therapeutic but can it really change someone in a negative way? Yes and no. Music to me has been my go-to when I am upset or need to get away from my problems. It makes me feel better and stronger about myself that really helps me get through my emotions. I don't personally think music has changed me in a negative way because it has honestly helped me. In my own experience I actually have seen friends who are into music so much that it changes them to act like they are the song they're feeling or like. They use the lyrics used in the song to respond to others.
Not everyone is like that but I'm just saying that I have seen a couple people. Other people find it to figure out who they are and show what type of person they want to be in, in a positive way. Everyone loves music and enjoys it no matter what. Whether it changes you in a good or bad way it makes you feel how you want to feel. Youth can be more easily persuaded into things to make them act differently but they do find out in the future how change is a good thing. It will better them in any situation possible.
