    While I understand, music is not the foundational reason why kids act out. It is apart of the problem, though lack of parenting and environment is soley to blame. Honestly, f I had a child I would know if they are listening to violent music based on the shift of their personality. Also, to better explain my point, if I as a child, go to my parents about problems I am struggling with, and dismissed in the end, ofcourse I am gonna saught to my own therapy in this case music. There is violent music, then soulful music. Although soulful music is calming, violent music tends to be a type of therapy where you can get your anger and frustration out. All in all, violent is not soley to blame but parenting.
