“…5,[28][29][30] In Canadian and Dutch studies, different types of hip-hop fans were more likely to be involved in gangs, minor delinquency, and alcohol and drug use. 5,30,31 In a rare 2-year longitudinal investigation, Selfhout and colleagues 32 reported that both heavy metal and hip-hop fans reported more externalizing problems. Heavy types of rock and African American music have not been the only types of music associated with problem behavior.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Adolescent music preferences have been linked to problem behavior in cross-sectional studies. Particularly, preferences for loud, rebellious, and so-called "deviant" music predict externalizing problem behavior, such as minor delinquency and substance abuse. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:There is a theoretical rationale for associations between music preferences and minor delinquency. Preferences for rock, African American music, and electronic dance music indicate later minor delinquency. Music preferences are better markers of later delinquency compared with early adolescent delinquency.abstract OBJECTIVES: To test Music Marker Theory (MMT) positing that early adolescents' preferences for nonmainstream types of popular music indicate concurrent and later minor delinquency. METHODS:MMT was tested in a 4-year longitudinal study (n = 309). RESULTS:The results showed that early fans of different types of rock (eg, rock, heavy metal, gothic, punk), African American music (rhythm and blues, hip-hop), and electronic dance music (trance, techno/ hardhouse) showed elevated minor delinquency concurrently and longitudinally. Preferring conventional pop (chart pop) or highbrow music (classic music, jazz), in contrast, was not related to or was negatively related to minor delinquency. CONCLUSIONS:Early music preferences emerged as more powerful indicators of later delinquency rather than early delinquency, indicating that music choice is a strong marker of later problem behavior. The mechanisms through which music preferences are linked to minor delinquency are discussed within the framework of MMT. Pediatrics 2013;131:e380-e389 AUTHORS:

“…Yet, for many professional youth workers, teachers and parents alike, Hip-Hop culture connotes a negative, anti-social lifestyle (Chen, et al, 2006;Miranda, & Claes, 2004). Despite the controversial nature of Hip-Hop, many youth development and engagement, education, and prevention experts have advocated its use as an effective vehicle for enhancing youth development efforts, facilitating cognition, and promoting healthy lifestyles among America's most at-risk youth (Hicks Harper, & Harper, 1999;Stephens, Braithwaite, & Taylor, 1998;Tyson, 2003).…”

“…Similarly, Peters, et al (2003) found that rap music glamorized substance use. Moreover, other research has found linkages between some rap music and deviant thoughts and behaviors among youth, including drug use and violence (Anderson, Carnagey, & Eubanks, 2003;Chen, Miller, Grube, & Waiters, 2006;Johnson, Jackson, & Gatto, 1995;Miranda, & Claes, 2004). …”

“…Rap music in particular has been linked to deviant behaviors such as drug abuse, violence, and gang involvement [13]. Unlike early rap songs that were meant to make social statements, the deviant behaviors found by Miranda and Claes are common topics found in contemporary rap [13].…”

Rap music often projects antisocial ideals that may influence personality state. This study sought to discover if exposure to the lyrics of rap music influence narcissistic personality state as measured by the 16-item Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-16). Participants (n=112) recruited from a small college in the southeastern United States took the NPI-16 before and after listening to rap music in one of three lyrical conditions: French, antisocial English and prosocial English. Changes in scores on the NPI-16 before and after listening showed no significant difference among three lyrical conditions using a repeated measures ANOVA, suggesting that the lyrical content of a song did not influence a person's likelihood of exhibiting narcissistic traits. The findings of this study call the results of previous literature into question, implying that the ill effects associated with listening to rap music are derived from other musical elements or psychosocial influences that should be further explored.
