"They blamed rap and metal" Good goy. Sound just like Emimem! "Where were the parents at"! Thought you were educated. Sound, music without words, can influence the mind. Lyrics aren't even needed. Though, repetition of lyrics can be very powerful. Especially, when accompanied by a beat. There's a reason why members of religions chant, say prayers and sing. There's also a reason why affirmations seem to work and are used by countless people and programs. You become what you do and you do what you think. No new age bullshit. Cuz there's also a reason corporations spend billions a year on psychologists and commercials. Plus Em gets paid to spit violence so of course he's not going to acknowledge the affect he's had on kids. He's a biased source, Stan.
"During the assault rifle ban"... What about back in the day when high-schools had shooting clubs and schools weren't getting shot up? Or when people weren't all on psych meds? You know, besides guns, a lot of these " mass shooters" had something else in common, psychotropic drugs. Want to ban them? Is it guns that need to be banned or something else? Or anything you deem unacceptable?
You won't even admit that pop culture can affect decision making yet you're intelligent enough to tell us if we should have guns or not? Yeah OK man. You sound like a Hillary Bot, Go Russia. Oh and cool 'correlation' you made between pop culture getting more violent over the past few decades and the rise of violence in our society as a whole. Good ish I might have missed that. Genius.
