Music has been blamed for "corrupting" youth since I was a teen 50 years ago. The young man says the truth. i said this at a parent/teen meeting at my daughters church. The music does NOT influence, but reflects the attitudes of the youth. Censorship just makes zero sense. We need to listen, to hear, to comprehend, to understand.

Poverty and ignorance are the main causes. However, if you encourage the ignorant and poor to kill each other, do drugs and rob people through music, you'll likely increase violence with people who are already at risk. I don't understand why it's legal to essentially threaten someone's life through music and not in real life. Some of the crap in music should be considered terroristic threats.

Drill music is not the cause for all of the violent crime in London. But to deny that isn’t doesn’t play a factor is pure ignorance.

Drill glamorises crime and desensitizes people to murder by calling dead people 'points'. If drill is just an expression to how some rappers live, then why do they intentionally provoke their opps and even brag about the people they've killed. It's not mere expression at that point, it's incitement.

The thing with this is yes - drill music does inspire the youth as I have seen people who really don’t live that life claiming that’s them because they got into drill music. However you can’t put all knife/gun violence down to drill. If it wasn’t about the gang violence would still be around and as big a problem as it is. Just the government looking for something to point the finger at for the countries problems. If they didn’t make those crazy cuts the youths would have more options/things to do.

OK, sing a song about a rival. Rival gets angry and kills the original song maker. It’s pathetic.... Seems these kids need to learn how to take disrespect better.

@codesm96

Yes you are wrong, plenty of two bit thugs from decent backgrounds and both parents but since both parents are not really role models and have broken their relationship with their children they go off and do this. Many people who have no parents and taken into foster care as well. Many people with terrible mother as a single parent who have pushed their father out of their life on purpose. There is so many different reasons and different upbringings many of these kids have, most of it less than ideal but not all of them are single parent households. So you can't just blame that one issue and act like if that was sorted then everything will be alright because that simply isn't true. Some people want to be bad people. Some are caught up in a situation and get stabbed through no fault of their own. You need to learn about each individual situation and learn about the people closely before you can start dishing out solutions that may help. For example, you will NEVER be able to solve the issue of single parent households, not possible. What punish people for having children out of wedlock or for divorce etc??? No way and even if you did that would not improve things a bit in practice, still a similar amount of people getting involved in the same shit even if there is a father etc because they can't control them so there is not point even mentioning it

This fully reminds of when the FBI tried to stop the rise of "gangster rap" coming from Compton and hoods all over America in the 80s-90s, when rap started to change from being non lyrical, non violent street dance music to being about the thug life or even lyrical and speaking about poverty and racism in America. The police tried to silence rappers as they didn't want white people to start liking this new genre of music that until that point had only been famous among black people in the hood. They fully tried to shut down rap groups and blamed them of promoting violence and using music to support criminal activity from one rival gang to another, but it quickly became famous and they weren't able to shut it down and here we are 20 years later, and the government in the UK is trying to silence a relatively new music genre that is slowly becoming popular worldwide and until around 2014 was only famous around London estates. This is the exact same story.

Im all for music I like rap and trap music, but when drill music blew up in Chicargo so did the gun violence rate and death toll, now drill has died down abit its gone down abit, whoever doesnt think music influences the youth obviously hasnt been around the younger generation and needs to get to grips with reality

It is storytelling and telling these kinds of truths will always start some shit. I can see both sides of the argument but the death and loss of life within drill artists is proof of the tongue being mightier than the sword.

In my humble opinion Drill music is NOT the cause of the violence, although some Drill tunes I’ve heard could possibly intensify already standing disputes. From the ‘Teddy Boys’, the Football hooligans, the old English gangsters i.e the Krays/Richardsons etc, the Prolific Bank Robbers of the Eighties violence has always been here. Cuts to the police and very limited opportunities don’t help.

Drill music definitely has a part to play for the violence. Of course they are glamorizing guns and violence, its not wrongfully blamed at all. How many people from gangs do the so called drill music, how many stabbings have been caused by drill music?

Whats the beat in the background throughout the video called?

That's because the lyrics are more symbolic of lonely youth feeling outcasted from society.

This genre is somewhat similar to hip hop and a lot of rap. It's raw and hard and if the media can't handle it don't listen to it and KZread shouldn't censor it

it's not exactly about the media, entirely. It's also about the cops picking up dead kids off pavements, the ambulance worker wondering what he could have done to save that life, the social workers too. It's also about the mother who was passing with her kid, as the knife plunged in. It's also about the kids parents being sent a song where an opp is expressing his good fortune to be having some kid to sing hs victories about. etc etc... Society is bigger, a lot bigger than just the media.

Anyone in High school especially in poorer areas can see the effect drill music on young people. 13 year olds getting arrested, teenagers getting stabbed. Poor kids see this “road” lifestyle as a way out from their bad lives but it is the opposite. It is submitting yourself to getting stabbed or going to prison over a postcode or over drugs.

drill and trap music are low key basically a new wave of heavy metal and rock music with 808s!

Of course it's fair to blame them for it. It's a genre that's made entirely by criminals.

Real all three of the acts you mentioned, NWA, Em and 50 have all rapped about popping caps from their gats into their enemies and getting into beef rolling with their crews but we understand they were telling stories about how rough life can be in the hood of LA, Detroit and New York growing up as well Hip-hop is better for it arguably people being introduce into a dark side of life by people who did their best to make music and be successful to get out of there but never forgot where they came from.

Rock, metal, and now this causes violence? The media’s wack. Music has nothing to do with violence.

Drill has been a thing for 2 seconds, how long has violence been on the streets. Drill talks about the sammee things all other rap talks about, just with different slang

music, tv, fashion, politics, language and actions pave culture...so drill is doing it's percent but not the major cause

What's the first song please?

No it does not and for many it is an outlet to express themselfs and for certain talented people a way off the streets and out of the hood being able to chase their dreams.. without it there would be more violence on the roads..

No way it causes more trouble and you know it, last year august an 18 year old was killed over a diss track, just because he is friends with the guy who made the diss track. I doubt if it was some one close to you that got killed, over this you would not be saying this is positive. Does not matter if it is a small amount of people getting killed over this a life is still a life, that person will be missed. The problem is does lie with us black men we should pullout quick, so we don't have kids with these rachet black women then run off. The same thing as well when some black men have kids with white women they run off, these mixed race boys 99% always follow the black crowd and end up the same way as these black boys. These women cannot raise these men, most end of criminal or gangs. These young black men do not care they don't mind taking a life over diss, and ending up in prison.

Drill has just good beat, thats why i like it

Music reflects the environment these youths are in but the circulation and glamourisation of the music surely doesn't help.

Anyone know the tune at the start?

Would definitely blame rap music (& other media forms) for violence. It doesn't affect people overnight but it does brainwash kids into thinking its real. These kids then portray what they perceive as reality from this stuff until it becomes reality as that kind of talk becomes the local culture.

There's never a single answer. The massive cuts to youth services, family breakdowns, loss of personal and social responsibility, proper investment in housing services, the welfare loop etc. But, it does glamorise the violent lifestyle in a way that appeals to kids which perpetuates it, and it's easy to mimic since it's so relatable, unlike other media such as movies.

The question is does music influence young impressionable minds? the answer is yes.

Outside of wars between countries, there's a correlation between low IQ and an increased propensity for violence and predatory aggression. Countries listed as having a low average quotient usually have violent crime statistics that are through the roof and an "enemy" (usually a higher IQ more successful group) they blame ALL their problems on; groups/cultures with a low average quotient (and the low emotional maturity that goes hand in hand with a low quotient) follow the same destructive pattern of behaviour.

1. If you don’t talk like you’re from the ENDZ “laiiike dis yoo kno-ooo” and you work hard at school then you’re called a “neek”. 2. If you’re a gentleman then you’re a “simp”. So it’s fashionable to “pretend” to be a certain way because they think people (especially females) will like it, but the reality is they DON’T. This is because of peer pressure. Have to be better than that.

REAL music does not cause violence....but this rubbish isn't music, but a glorification of all the deranged sickness that can be witnessed daily on the streets. Just like in USA, these kinds of "musicians" have only two options in their lives - either becoming rich as a violent gangster, or becoming rich as a non-violent gangster through this "music". In other words, these rappers are simply potential criminals who have found success in a more or less legitimate business, otherwise, they would also run around the streets with knives, guns, and drugs. There is no moral superiority involved, whatsoever, simply they get the money through this legitimized expression of gangland culture.

LOLS, this stuff has been going on way way way before drill, just wasn't an issue then when kids from poor neighbourhoods were killing each other. Now it's just news headlines for papers and TV, the real awareness has come from the parents, youth workers and community leaders who have been raising this issues for decades without any backing from the government, now suddenly it's big news and apparently because of UK drill. Why not actually spend time and listen to the needs of those caught up in this issue and those who spend their lives trying to address it and rather than trying to find quick fix answers and solutions.

I think the music people listen to has no influence on their activities as if someone wants to be violent, they have made a continuous decision to be violent

Drill over other hip hop has more of a cause and affect due to its content being gang/rival related and in a lot of cases it instigates violence between gangs, you only have to look at Chicago to see what kind of influence drill music has on gang violence.

As long as they are only killing each other.

some peoplehere thinking they're woke likely live in nice areas and aren't anywere near where the violence happens. People don't understand especially in hood, young kids look up to these drill rappers because they are in a way spokespeople for their own experiences. As a result, these musicians create this false of financial and social success through a lifestyle of gangbanging. Often times young males see them as role models because they see these rapper getting women, and they figure they'll get women too if they adopt the same mentality. The music isn't the main cause but it most definitely contributes in different ways. Lot of people here don't understand the dynamics of the hood.

The criminologist was bang on... And good looking 😉

It’s an insult to call that music

How can you ask if it’s right to blame the artists for the violence and discrimination they experience everyday due to the structure of society in poverty riddled cities around the uk. These are artists talking about the severity and reality of their everyday life and young people use this music as a way of not only entertaining themselves in deprived regions, but also to attempt to make an honest earning for themselves and escape the cycle of poverty. It’s not the artist fault if the picture they are painting has already been made violent and unfair by the discriminative nature of government and police function. Not enough active effort has been made to provide an outlet and economic opportunity for those in poverty across our country and so the youth turn to drill etc to express the opposition to police etc that are enforcing discrimination and to make their story heard internationally - all whilst being payed to speak truth about their real life circumstances, something our nations politicians should stop and think about considering the level of misinterpretation, ignorance and lie telling. Drill artists are not trying to glorify violence and knife crime etc; they are simply talking about their life that they have to live to stay afloat in deprived urban areas and making music is a way of leaving this gang affiliated lifestyle behind. If parents are concerned with drill influencing their children’s aspirations and encouraging knife crime- maybe they should be more concerned about teaching their children morals and look at censoring some of the millions of already violent, drug, gang related videos and music content that saturated the internet. Trying to repress this genre will only make these issues worse- DON’T PUNISH THE ARTIST!
