From the Youth
This article is written by a fifteen-year-old who shares his perspective on the effect of music on adolescents. He attempts to explain his position on rejecting the influence of drug-idled music and urges his fellow peers to do the same.
Mostly, he discusses how he fears those he assumes listens to rap music, “I can tell if a group of people listen to rap music or not. Just by the way they walk, talk, and dress. And I for one think that rap music is sending out a bad message to everybody” and shares his honest dislike for those emo kids, “EMO music gets kids to cut and try to kill themselves.” As expected his all-knowing judgments are slightly exaggerated, but amusing none the less. His final demands is to fight conformity and live life as squeaky clean as possible.
No matter how poorly written (he is only fifteen), his opinion is definitely contrasting to others his age, which is valuable when analyzing such subjects.
