Impact of Violent Music and its Effect on Children
Violent music is indeed very popular among the youth and children of modern society, the kind propagated by heavy metal sounds, rock music and others of this kind. It would indeed be too much to expect that adherents or followers of violent music gain a salutary and soothing effect by hearing to such music. On the contrary, there are reasons to believe, in the light of conducted researchers that adherents and followers of violent music may possess and betray negative personality traits, including lack of obedience to parents and elders, trouble at school and colleges with peer groups, teachers and the administration and may even turn anti social at later point of times, if left unchecked and uncontrolled.
Indeed violent music has detrimental impact on children, if not in the short term, most certainly in the middle and long terms. There are robust reasons to believe that children who are enchanted by, and have deep and abiding fascination for such kind of violent music may turn violent themselves. It is evidenced that children constantly exposed to violent music may possess each or all of these undesirable traits like:
- Poor interpersonal relationships with parents and siblings and constant show of aggressive conduct at home
- Disobedience, challenging authority and elders and creating scenes at home
- Also having learning deficits and deficiencies, not fairly academically well at schools
- Marked tendencies for despondency, gloominess, lack of cheer and positive vibes
- Low levels of tolerance, ability to withstand pain and hurt, easily excitable and ruffled
- Sexual inadequacies and misogynist tendencies and unhealthy sexual conduct
While this may not always be true of all children exposed to violent music, by and large, research studies have proved that violent music does not have soothing and beneficial impact of human senses, especially impressionable and naïve children. It is therefore necessary and important, that they be weaned away from excessive exposures to these kinds of harmful music and be allowed to enjoy other kinds of music like classical, thematic or even romantic music which is, psychologically, healthier and wholesome for children.
