\\When police searched his room, they found a sword, knives, four cheap mobile phones, wraps of heroin and crack cocaine and £480 in cash. There was also a Silwood Nation t-shirt.//

\\Drill music often features rappers talking about violence and can be used to fuel rivalries between gangs, leading critics to link it to crime.//

\\Olaloko's family described him as a quiet, studious boy. He auditioned for the X Factor talent show in 2016 but failed to make the TV auditions.

Instead, he focused on drill music, rapping about drugs, money, violence and sex in his videos.//

All I read through the report was, drugs, knives, sex and violence.

No you didn't.

You just made that up.

Music is an effective way to carry a message, if all a young mind hears is a message of hate, and violence while it may not cause that person to be violent in itself the embedded message would modify the barriers to such behaviour lowering the threshold to violence by normalizing it.

A. I agree with douglas.

B. In answer to the question posed in the OP:
Undoubtedly and unashamedly.

Music does not make people do things. It's an easy scapegoat to avoid the hard questions about how people end up like this.

When any 'new' music comes along, the Establishment remains frightened of anything it doesn't understand.

Especially something aimed at 'young people', which not only does it not understand, but it underlines the fact that, for the Establishment, youth is gone, never to return, so that reaction shares a healthy shot of bitter jealousy.

I understood that with my parents' generation, I did hope that mine would be more enlightened - sadly not it seems.

Music does not 'promote' anything - it reflects the world around it.

Perhaps you are not old enough to remember the early days of Rock and Roll, when the Teddy Boys ripped out cinema seats and threw them around, during the showings of the film 'Rock Around The Clock'.

Yes the 'Establishment' was pretty frightened then and quite rightly so.

Pathetic!!! nothing to say about Black violence then? Now there's a surprise.

dam savages should not see the light of day again. In my opinion Drug dealing scum should be executed like they do in Singapore etc. To answer the question though, yes drill "music" does promote violence. Just another racket as far as I am concerned. Add it to the long list of total tish that some inexplicably listen to (endure?)

[ummmm]

I think it promotes violence. Big difference from playing a computer game and actually watching your peers making videos like that.

sp1814// I’d go on but won’t because no doubt a member of AB’s idioteratti will cap the conversation off with the old ‘chip on his shoulder’ line.//

Think you'll find it's an idiocracy.

I think it is safe to say it doesn't promote pacifism.

But really, the idea of British culture is white supremacy by another name.

And that’s simply cobblers.




Can you make clear what you mean by the above, sp.

Total garbage, but not an unexpected comment. If you want to watch violence promoted check out the muslim hate speakers, there are hundreds on youtube.

SP: But really, the idea of British culture is white supremacy by another name." - seriously?

All black, managed to produce music without singing about guns, drugs, sex and violence.

In fact Grand master flash sang about how bad it was with "White lines" and "the message".

[-Talbot-]

Maybe it is better to say it glorifies violence rather than promotes it.
The violence and the drugs were there before drill music.

[Spicerack]

To be fair, webbo, I think Barry Whit's music might have promoted sex.

[andy-hughes]

I have been to see several productions of plays that included appalling violence, eyes put out, poisoning, murder, betrayal, blackmail, torture, execution …

But because they were written by William Shakespeare, no-one suggested that any of these things were being 'promoted' - probably because art doesn't 'promote', it reflects, as I have already pointed out.
