the media is partly to blame but in this day and age, music does have alot of influence, why do i wear baggy clothes? becuz rappers on tv wore them and i bought some and it was comfortable, if it had not been for the music that i was listenin to i wouldnt be wearing them, how about the slang i use? i got it from my friends BUT most of there slang came from music, how about those kids that are young and want to find something to be apart of, they listen to music and find the type of people to hang out with that listen to that music, film and music influence people alot, saddam hussien use to watch the godfather everyday,im not saying he did all that shit becuz of the godfather movies but somehow it intrested him, the power and the respect the godfather had, he basically related to him.
also, how many people do u know have a tatto becuz of hip hop,or wear a bandana, or clothes that a baggy, its all becuz there influenced, so what makes u think some dude cant kill after hearing a song.
