The Influence of Music (as submitted to Planetary Magazine)
Submitted by Luciana Pimentel on Wednesday, October 06, 2004 at 11:02:18 AM EST.
Music can influence our daily lives. An example of this is youth groups that exist in the whole world called grunges. They are mainly influenced by punk rock. The grunges wear black clothes , many accessories and they colour their hair.
In some cases, music not only influences the way people dress but also the way they behave and the things they do.
In Brazil, the band Planet Hemp made an explicit apology to drugs and had problems with the authorities.
For many years, Marcelo D2 was a synonym of trouble. He created lyrics in favour of the liberation of marijuana. He and his band have already been arrested.
We think that musicians should be free to express their ideas but should be careful with the content of their songs because many people can be influenced by them.
