I wrote a paper for my friend....and this is what it said!

In today’s time I think that kids these days listen to different kinds of rock, like heavy metal, for a reason. They form groups, and in these groups the kids of today “fit in”. Most of the kids listen to the music to escape into their own personal world, free of judgment and harassment. Many of these avid listeners form groups in which they can belong to, to be free from conforming to outer influences; but in return they, themselves are conforming to the subject they are listening to. Take the band Sum 41 for example, kids listen to that to escape forced conformant from their daily lives, and upon entering the clique of that type of music, they, in turn, are conforming. It is cause and effect, it is simple. Look at the band Rise Against, it tends to kids these days with the attitude of anti-government, the bad, rugged look of the modern teenage soul becoming a raging maniac with bombs in his sneakers, yelling incoherent slogans on a one way radio to God, freeing them from a tormented life in a conforming society to live a life inside a concrete jungle. In short, today’s kids are a wound up with freeing themselves in a carefree life style, only to be abruptly beaten by societies steel fist into submission. The pure fanaticism of the bodies of lifeless teenagers, trudging the open streets of life, is quickly shot down by the world’s burden of a reality. Kids are even driven to anger, rage, depression and even suicide by this music. The kids listen to what they want to hear, not the truth. In short, the world’s kids will never change their minds, sticking heavily with pure fantasy beliefs.
