“…A recent study of music popular among adolescents from 1996-1997 revealed that nearly half (47%) of all rap/hip hop (hereafter referred to as rap) songs mentioned alcohol (Roberts, Henriksen et al, 1999). In contrast, other genres of music were much less likely to mention alcohol in the lyrics (country-western (Herd, 2005). Of songs that mentioned alcohol, the positive attitude toward alcohol expressed in lyrics increased from 43% in 1970-1989 to 73% in 1994-1997.…”

Objective-This study investigated whether young people's substance use and aggressive behaviors are related to their listening to music containing messages of substance use and violence.Method-Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires and from a sample of community college students aged 15-25 (N = 1056; 43% male). A structural equation modeling method was used to simultaneously assess the associations between listening to various genres of music, alcohol use, illicit drug use, and aggressive behaviors, taking into account respondents' age, gender, race/ethnicity, and level of sensation seeking.Results-Listening to rap music was significantly and positively associated with alcohol use, problematic alcohol use, illicit drug use, and aggressive behaviors when all other variables were controlled. Additionally, alcohol and illicit drug use were positively associated with listening to musical genres of techno and reggae. Control variables such as sensation seeking, age, gender and race/ethnicity were significantly related to substance use and aggressive behaviors. Conclusion-The findings suggest that young people's substance use and aggressive behaviors may be related to their frequent exposure to music containing references to substance use and violence. Conversely, music listening preference may reflect some personal predispositions or lifestyle preferences. Alternatively, substance use, aggression and music preference are independent constructs, but share common "third factors."Listening to music is the number one rated leisure-time activity for American youth (Roberts, Foehr et al., 1999; Roberts, Henriksen et al., 1999). Some music genres contain more references to substance use and social defiance than do other genres. A recent study of music popular among adolescents from 1996-1997 revealed that nearly half (47%) of all rap/hip hop (hereafter referred to as rap) songs mentioned alcohol (Roberts, Henriksen et al., 1999). In contrast, other genres of music were much less likely to mention alcohol in the lyrics (country-western (Herd, 2005). Of songs that mentioned alcohol, the positive attitude toward alcohol expressed in lyrics increased from 43% in 1970-1989 to 73% in 1994-1997. Furthermore, a music video study revealed that twice as much violence and criminal activity was depicted in rap and rock music videos as compared to country, adult contemporary and rhythm-and-blues music videos . Similarly, weapon carrying was shown more often in rap and rock music videos. Together, these studies raise an important issue: Will frequent exposure to music containing references to substance use, violence, and social defiance impact youth's behaviors? HHS Public AccessEmpirical studies suggest that alcohol and illicit drug use among youth may be associated with listening to popular music such as hard rock, heavy metal, rap, and techno (e.g., Arnett, 1991Arnett, , 1992Forsyth et al., 1997;Hitzler, 2002;Miranda and Claes, 2004). Similarly, aggressive behaviors have been linked to various genres of ...

“…Um estudo analisou, por exemplo, a prevalência da menção às bebidas alcoólicas em 341 músicas de rap no decorrer de quase duas décadas. 33 Ao observar o grande aumento nesse período às referências ao álcool, geralmente positivas, inclusive com menções a marcas específicas, o autor conclui que esse gênero musical "foi profundamente afetado por forças comerciais e pelo marketing de bebidas alcoólicas". Utilizando outro método, Zwarun 30 investigou novas maneiras pelas quais a promoção de bebidas alcoólicas têm sido feita em esportes televisivos -especialmente após questionamentos legais ocorrerem.…”

“…El hip hop y la música rap también se encuentran asociadas al uso extensivo de marihuana 61,62 , a un consumo excesivo de alcohol 63 , y más recientemente al consumo de éxtasis 64 . En un estudio reciente sobre clientes de bares en edad universitaria, Graham, Osgood, Wells y Stockwell 65 encontraron que escuchar música rap, en ese contexto social, se encuentra positiva y significativamente asociado a todos los comportamientos anteriormente mencionados -uso problemático del alcohol, consumo de drogas ilegales, y comportamientos agresivos.…”

Universidad de DelawareResearch on clubbing spans numerous fields and adopts diverse approaches to the populations in question. Yet, a somewhat homogenous narrative has emerged about clubbers and substance use, one that focuses on overconsumption, risky behavior, and considerable consequence. The purpose of our study is to unpack this narrative by exploring how the substance use patterns of clubbing populations differ by individual and scene-level factors. From this, we hope to increase an understanding of how social and cultural factors impact the relationship between clubbers and substance use. We draw on direct observation of 29 club events and interviews with 51 respondents from the hip hop (HH) and electronic dance music (EDM) scenes in Philadelphia to inform our research objective. Analyses revealed two broad criteria on which a substance use-based typology of clubbers can be offered: motivations for clubbing and level and type of scene involvement. From these two dimensions, we are able to distinguish among three types of clubbers: drug sub-cultural members, commercial clubbers, and music connoisseurs. Drug sub-cultural members reported early onset of drug use and a greater frequency of current drug use at largely underground EDM club events and outside them as well. Commercial clubbers had benign histories with drugs, but they reported attending mostly commercialized HH events to get drunk and court the opposite sex. Music connoisseurs reported minimal current drug and alcohol use at exclusively underground EDM and HH club events, following from, in some cases, extensive histories with drugs and alcohol. The differences between these three groups' substance use patterns, we contend, can be attributed to the interplay between numerous social and cultural factors not previously considered. RESUMEN ABSTRACTLa investigación sobre clubes nocturnos abarca numerosos campos y adopta diversos enfoques sobre las poblaciones examinadas. Sin embargo, sólo ha emergido una narrativa un tanto homogénea sobre clubbers y uso de sustancias, aquella que se centra en el abuso, los comportamientos de riesgo y sus considerables consecuencias. El objetivo de este estudio es desarmar esta narrativa explorando cómo los patrones de uso de sustancias de las poblaciones de clubbers difieren en función de factores individuales y de nivel de escena. De esta forma, esperamos incrementar la comprensión sobre la forma en que los factores culturales y sociales tienen un impacto en las relaciones entre clubbers y consumo de sustancias. Para ello recurrimos a clubbers y consumo de sustancias. Para ello recurrimos a clubbers la observación directa de eventos en 29 clubes y, para completar nuestros objetivos de investigación, realizamos entrevistas a 51 participantes de la escena hip hop (HH) y de música electrónica de baile (MEB) de Philadelphia. El análisis reveló dos criterios amplios para proporcionar una tipología basada en el consumo de drogas de los clubbers: motivaciones para el clubbing y nivel y tipo de participación en dicha esce...
