349 posts	No - it can pump you up, but actually becoming violent? That's within your own control.

437 posts	Yes. There are a lot of songs that can make me feel very depressed when listened to a lot (Sia - "Breathe Me", Josh Radin -" -November"(?)) So I believe it's possible. I don't know which songs one could find that would be so violent they'd make you more than just 'angry/aggressive'.

9 posts	no...I mean it can DRIVE them to be violent....but that's only if they're like on that path...and the song's actually pretty violent...someone's not gonna listen to some song and be like "oh...i think i'll be violent now"

415 posts	hmm well this is interesting because music obviously affects the emotions and well any song i think can cause someone to turn to violent behavior depending on what situation a person is in....I dont think that someone who is pefectly happy and never had a violent thought would be driven to violence by music...but i think music can push someone who is on the edge to do violent things

14 posts	If you envelope yourself in it constantly yes, and believe what the violent lyrics say, yes. I hate to be clique but you are what you do.

370 posts	If you don't have a brain then yeah, sure. No music or any other thing can make you more violent. I listen to metal and hardcore and other kinds of music that would probably be classified as violent. When I get pissed off, its not because of an ill breakdown. It's because you pissed me off.

47 posts	let's try an argument for yes...music...triggers emotions and hormones? causing ppl to get too excited or dead hatred towards someone/something? causing them to do something violent? or if someone listens to music with a negative influence/message such as kidnapping and killing a "lover" to keep eternal love and actually does that (Sha Shou by JJ Lin, it's Mandarin...he also cut up her body parts and used it as art work when he put it up on his wall...argh...there is a 20 min uncensored version, and a 5 min censored version on youtube)

5 posts	Why would music make someone more violent? If the person is already violent, then maybe yes. But those who aren't violent...well, I don't think that they would get violent. So my answer is no

20 posts	Music can easily have a large impact on a person's emotional state. If that person is already angry, then listening to some music with themes of anger could make the person more emotional and, as such, more violent as well.
