Why are youths so angry

I believe a lot of it could be the "music" to which they listen. When I sang in a band, a rule of thumb was, 1 of every 4 songs should be a slow song, a romantic song. What they listen to now, is loud fast angry music. It has to effect their outlook on life.
Actually I think "rap music" is the best example of oxy-moron. There is NO possitive messages in it, and it is not soothing.
You can say what you want to about country music, but is there any other genre that actually has Christian songs mixed in with them? Many more have a good moral message to them. I'm not saying ALL of them. There's probably too many "drinking, divorce, etc songs, but they do mix it with good holsom music. Also, at least it is sung instead of shouted. It has a melody.
Rappers, you are NOT singing. You have NO talent.

You must be getting old. I think I remember adults throwing a fit about Rock and Roll. they said it was ruining our youth. Disco was supposed to be the end of civilization.

I despise rap as well and believe they need to clean up the lyrics, but it just shows that we are the "older generation" now.

You could be right, but I want to push it further. Anybody who disagree's with me can accept this challenge. Pick 10 rap songs at random. Go to a music store and purchage the sheet music, and see what notes are attached to the words.
Or.....ask the performers what key they are doing a song in.
Maybe that will get my point across.
