Younger Generation affected by music!!

Younger Generation affected by music!!

Music has always had an impact in people but with the younger audience it seemed to get impacted the most. Just because someone famous is…blabbing their mouth saying offensive things or sexual things in their lyrics it does not means that is okay for other people going around blabbing their mouth as well calling people certain things. We all have that rappers sing about having sex with women, enjoying their p***, bitch, weed, or hoe and people seem to be okay with that. Growing up in a generation where most males refer to girls as bitches or hoes because these females do not want to talk to them.
