What I Want To Know About My Topic

I want to find out whether there is a correlation between the music someone listens to and their academic achievemnt. How is music related to teen's grades? Why is explicit and violent music looked at negatively by society as a whole? Should teens be restricted from violent music if there's a negative affect? What if music has a good affect on teen's grades? regardless  of explicit language. Which genre of music has the greatest effect on teen's grades? I'd like to see the answers to these questions, and I hope to discover the answers through my research.

What Motivated Me To Write About My Topic

“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” These are wise words from one of Reggae’s most popular artists, Bob Marley. This is very true, as many music listeners use it to relax, sleep, wake up, exercise, and get pumped up. As people use music for these purposes, it’s evident music affects your behavior, including teenagers. However, what if explicit and/or violent music can be directly related and associated with a teenager’s grades? Society as a whole tends to look down on explicit and violent music as “not good for people”, now are they correct? And if there is a correlation between “bad” music and teenager’s grades, should actions be taken against this often unappreciated art? As myself being a musical artist, and sometimes actually listening to explicit and violent music, I would like to see if there is a correlation between two of the most important things in my life.
