Does rock music make people more violent?

Obviously, but unless you're doing it for a movie, you'll probably just hear sirens.

 

It does if you let it. If you listen to it as something MORE than it is, which is music... then obviously, but I don't really understand why people do that. I mean if it's really that hardcore that you wan't to bash open someones skull, you must realize that the person who MADE the music is nothing like that.

In general though, everything you experience that pertains to violence influences you in some way, even if you don't notice.

 

sometimes but drugs surely makes people violent. actually, videogames, music, movies, TV, etc. can make people violent if not taken care of.

 

I'm not a person who listens to rock but i think rock does make people more violent and seems that they starting to use drugs but not all of them but some people can be violent as well as games can make people violent example: GTA (which sucks real bad sorry for those who like GTA but it sucks)

 

although it is violent, GTA is alright. you get to know what it feels like to be a gangster, drug runner, killer, etc.

rock music isn't really the genre that makes people violent. it's false emo music that makes people wanna kill themselves.

 

The only reason people think rock or videogames makes people violent is because the crimes caused by them are so rare that the media exaggerate it so much and the public thinks it happens all the time.

 

Bad news is good news. You never hear about the people who listen to Arch Enemy or something and don't kill people.
Music is just a form of expression. If someone gets an idea from metal, they're in an easily suggestable state, and music was just the first thing.

PS: I don't like Manson.....

 

Yes, rock music makes mee more violent but bloody video games just make me happy (not violent) :-]

 

I don't think so... I think it's more about friend influences and psychological thinking. A suicidal kid could listen to music about killing himself and become influenced. However, I could listen to the same song and say "Hey, this has a nice ring to it" and start dancing my ass off. As of friends, one bad kid could listen to a certain type of music and befriend others influencing his new friends to act just as bad and follow the influencer's music taste. If gangsters listened to Cold Play, it wouldn't be any different, it's the fact that they have that music and behavior lodged into their head already.
