This article talks about how a professor did some studies in rough minority neighbor hoods of mostly blacks and latinos, who supposedly are the targeted audience of hip hop and rap music today. Therefore, they feel as though the affects of hip hop and rap music will be seen the most in these neighborhoods. In this article I learned that most people believe that events that takes place in these "ghettos" are effects being felt as a result of rap musics influence on the youth of the neighborhoods. However, it may be the other way around. In most cases,this music is a result of the influence being put on the industry by today's youth and they are the audience that is being targeted because that is the lifestyle that artists know young people will relate to because they know the influence that these "ghettos" have actually had on most rappers today.

Youth Voices Artice
http://youthvoices.net/discussion/how-can-music-affect-generation
This article is not based upon fact, but is a direct example of music's influence on our generation because this paper is written by a young person raised in our generation of music and because of what society tells him, he has developed a very clear biased against certain genres of music. And is more expressing his dislikes of these genres as opposed to really addressing the affect of ALL types of music on our generation. This in itself, is a reflection of musics affect on our generation.
The purpose of this article, was supposedly to reflect on the affects of today's music on our generation, However the author has let his own emotions and opinions eclipse the actual intentions of the article. Therefore instead of educating his audience of the diversity of music today and going into depth about a few of the genres to gain many different perspectives, he is just being ignorant towards the genres he doesn't like and pushing his opinions one the audience.

How does music affect the generation of today in America?
http://www.hiphopisread.com/2012/04/secret-meeting-that-changed-rap-music.html
This is an artical that tells one mans story with his incident with rap music and how he is seeing that not only his decision, but the decisions of other has changed the face of rap music for the worst and he is observing the affects of this first hand. He talks about having a guilty conscience but knowing the battle that he fought with his self for a long time and reminding himself that he had to take a stand because what was being done was wrong.Then he talks about coming to the realization of having to live with his decision every day.
He also he talks about how he cant believe that the things that were talked about in that meeting are actually coming to life. This illustrates not only how this music affects my generation, but everyone. It shows just how greedy the older generation is and how they will do anything for money. He also begins to realize just how evil the music industry is, and sadly, that this whole situation just reflects the ignorance of my generation.
