When I surfing internet, I found an article entitled "Impact of Music, Music Lyrics, and Music Videos on Children and Youth" by Gilbert L. Fuld, MD, Chairperson, one of the Council on communication and media executive committee and his company, from the American Academy of Pediatrics in the site "Pediatrics Publications". It stated there that in their research, music can affect on their school works, social interactions, mood and affect, and their particular behavior. the kind of music that can affect the children are music that is popular today especially the lyrics of the song. Why? because it becomes more explicit to their references to violence, drugs, and sex.
On the introduction, the article explain the important role of music in the socialization of children and youth. Music is part of their growing up and it also provides entertainment and distraction of their problems and to relieve tension and boredom. They also research that teenagers used to listen popular music so that they can deal their loneliness and to control their emotion. They can also use music to create a background of romance. Adolescents used music to express their identity from the people around them and it also part of their personalities.
