Answer 1

Your right because rap music is such a better influence on the kids, you know with the half naked girls shaking their asses in your face and every other word being a curse word and talking about things like stealing and guns and sex. By the way, in case you're a moron (and from your question I'm guessing you are) I'm being sarcastic. It's not Rock that influences the teenagers, it's the teenagers that let themselves be influenced. And what the hell are you talking about dying your nails? You can't dye your nails, you can only polish them. Also, I seriously doubt that rockers are the only ones who dye their hair, I bet your grandma dyes her hair too.

Answer 2

It does not. The emo punk bands are the ones doing the cutting wrist sh*t. Rap is a type of music were they are talking bout doing drugs getting layed every single moment of the day. Running from the cops. KoRn is one of my favorite bands they do rap yes but they are also talking about what has happened in there life. Plus what talent does rap have when all they are doing is using a music box and talking fast. So many rappers that i bet you have not even heard of have died there hair. I can go on about the history of rap and rock and i can probably mentune something about what you say. Snoop Dogg he passed out a big joint across the stage at the Project revolution tour, hint the only rapper at the concert and the only joint that was passed out. next time you ask something make sure you know all of your facts. So no i do not think it should be illigal especially if i play it.

Answer 3

You're generalizing rock, and that's stupid. That's like saying all the people that listen to rap do drugs and thugs.

It's not the music doing it; it's the media.

MTV and all those other outlets are to blame. It's the portayal of punk/emo music that's disturbing.

HOT TOPIC IS NOT PUNK ROCK.
MTV ISN'T HARDCORE.

Those teenagers need to grow up.

Answer 4

Rap=much worse than rock in some cases.

Rap talks about drugs and shoot outs. Rap artists wear chains and weird hair styles and do weird things with their hands.

Rap artists think they're all that and that they know ghetto life. They don't.

I think rap is just as bad a rock.

Answer 5

dude, rap music does the same and worse. what do gangs who kill and rape many people for no reason listen to? rap. i know some rock bands do some of that but the cutting music is called emo. get it right. buddy before you start insulting a genre of music you know nothing about.

besides rap rhymes with crap for a reason.

Answer 6

Ernesto Che Guevara did not forbid jazz and rock and roll music. in reality, Cuba is mythical for its Jazz and that i became even taking under consideration going to a jazz competition there this November. in the course of the U. S. conflict for independence, George Washington issued a 1000 circumstances extra orders that ended in lack of life and mayhem than did Ernesto Guevara contained in the Cuban Revolution. the easy actuality is that there is a particular reactionary element of persons that're wanting to slander Guaevara in any respect prices because they are afraid to face the actuality of something that so considerably upsets their own indoctrinated beliefs.

Answer 7

Rap exploits women, glamorizes drugs, alchohol, and gangs, and many rappers have died/been murdered.

Sure rockers may dye their hair ( which a lot of people do) and paint their nails (which a lot of people do) but at least they aren't wearing foil on their teeth.

People who listen to rock music don't cut themselves. Depressed people do.

ROCK FOR LIFE!

Answer 8

No. As been said previously, rock music isn't to blame for all of that. If you're looking to blame music you sure picked the wrong one to support in saying it's better. Rap, if you look at the lyrics, is much worse in supporting violence.

I don't blame any type of music. I blame the families that don't pay attention to their kids.

Answer 9

Rock music does not influence people to do that!!!!!!! No it should not be illegal. A lot of people like rock music just because you dont like it doesnt mean it's wrong to listen to. Sorry but im gonna continue listening to my rock. ROCK ON!

Answer 10

Does it tell you that? Really? Or do stupid people do it by emulating looks as oppossed to the music itself?

Rarely have I heard "rock" songs tell listeners to do all those things.

Although, to be fair, I have heard lots of rap songs that tell me to do certain substances, violate laws and abuse women. But of course, that's totally different from something as horrible as dying nails.
