Can you honestly say that your lived experience hasn't changed you?
It's clear "gangster rap" doesn't ruin anyone's lives like the parents of the 90's thought it might. That doesn't absolve it from affecting you in more subtle ways (good and bad).
- meowfly 4y agoMaybe I don't understand the question but of course a persons lived experience affects them. It seems like you've moved the goal posts. What I'm pointing out is that OPs moralizing on good media "Anime, Books" vs bad media "Rap, Trash Magazines" is likely focusing on the wrong things. A person's friends are ultimately what matter in prioritizing values (as far as values can be shaped by environment). But the claim about "gangster rap" (a term I don't like) was "that shit will warp your mind." is false. Moreover, Anime has tons of content that's way darker than anything you'll find in rap. But again, I don't think it really matters.
- johnnymorgan 4y agoLol I'm not moralizing at all, I stated it applies to all information regardless and so I cut the cord. 24 hour news is worse for this than gangster rap and turned off both so the same reason, I didn't like the messaging coming from it. NWO and Ghetto boys pushed me out of the genre, that doesn't the music is bad just something I choose to not engage with based off their content. You got super defensive over what should be obvious, the content and people you engage with will define your character.
