Hip Hop

I thought the article by Tara Parker-Pope was interesting. But I disagree with her on the point that sexually explicit lyrics didn't encourage sexual behavior that much. I do agree that peer pressure has a lot to do with it, but I think that the music helps to encourage that behavior in the groups which then effects the individuals of that group. I don't know if that made sense - Let me say it another way - Yes, peer pressure is what gets teens to have sex, but the hip hop music effects the way the group as a whole acts and thinks about sex.
