The impact of song lyrics on young people's social dynamics: a critical discourse analysis perspective
Abstract
This research investigates the influence of urban music genres on the configuration of identities and the dynamics of youth social relations. It focuses on the lyrics of these music genres, which often contain references to violence, promiscuity, consumerism, machismo and substance abuse. In an environment dominated by technologies and social networks, it is postulated that these lyrics can have a significant impact on youth behavior, affecting their social development. The aim is to discern how these genres stereotype and normalize behavior in young people. Using Critical Discourse Analysis, we examine the content of these lyrics and their relationship to social dynamics, seeking to understand their integration into social norms and their effect on youth perceptions and behavior. The findings reveal a correlation between exposure to these genres and youth behaviors, highlighting their influence on the formation of identities and social practices.
