I remember when my favorite artist went to jail. A lot of his fans were so shocked that T.I. went to jail for having a gun on him. He knew he did something wrong so he didn't try to flee the cops and just served the time in jail. He can on the new and told his fans he was sorry for the bad choices he has made. He served one year in jail and then he got out. He had an episode on MTV that told listeners everything that had happened to him through out his life and even about him going to jail. A lot of fans were mad at him and he didn't make anymore songs while he was in jail.
As I was a senior in high school a lot of people listened to rap and hip hop music. It was the new thing and everyone liked it. Teens like listening to this kind of music because they think it makes then look cool. We listened to artists like Lil wayne, T.I., Usher, 50 Cent, Ciara, Lady Gaga, Eminem, and so many more.
A lot of older generations don't like this kind of music because of all the violence and swearing it uses. They think that everyone should listen to their music but they need to realize that we are in a different generation and we do things differently. The older generations didn't have music with sex, swearing, drugs, violence, and other bad things like the music we listen to.
My mom didn't mind the music I listened to. She let me pick because she thought I was old enough to make my own choices and decisions. She also listened to some of the same songs I did and she didn't mind it. I remember watching all the music videos and wishing I could go to their concerts, but I knew I wouldn't be able to.
When I look back at my teen years I realize that the music I enjoyed was worth listening to. I couldn't imagine listening to anything else because I really enjoyed rap and hip hop music. Also I have thought that every generation has their own feelings about music and the music people listen to changes from generation to generation. I wonder what my children will listen to when they are a teenager.
