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.
