RELIGION AND CONTEMPORARY MUSIC CULTURE THE EFFECT OF RAP MUSIC ON YOUTH BRIEF SOCIOLOGICAL REFLECTIONS

Abstract

With this article, I will argue the impact of the musical culture of the musical subgenre of rap on youth today. To achieve this, I set specific questions within the context of Sociology of Religion and further, trying to seek the conditions of sociological methodology and the very reason that explains the big, and for some people, annoying impact of rap and its music subgenres on young people. The postmodern subproducts of the contemporary globalized music industry; are they really entertaining or not? And on what scale? What are the values, the principles and the social reflections that rap music really promotes? Are the rap artists and those who manage and promote them, very willing to contribute within the context of an authentic artistic expression or do they lean to the tendency to reproduce anti-social stereotypes?
