Music's Effect on Adolescents
Because I am a teenager, I fit within the adolescent grouping. Music, especially rap, plays an important role in my life because it expresses how I am feeling at the time being. Rap tends to be played when I am in a happy-go-lucky mood or a thoughtful mood. Tupac makes me think about another person’s life in their perspective.
Another way music plays an important role in adolescent’s lives is the social connection because I cannot count how many times music preference seems to be the reason I began talking to someone. Since music is a large part of most people’s lives and rap is one of the most listened to genre of music; Tupac makes a large group of listeners aware of the social struggles people in lesser fortunate living areas like “the hood” deal with day in and day out.
