Music has an influence over us whether we notice it or not. It can normalize certain behaviors or ideas, which is not always the best. An example of would be the controversy surrounding "Blurred lines" by Robin Thicke. The song was accused of to be sexist, promote rape, made light of sexual consent etc. While that may have not been the intent of the artist, they have no control over how the audince views and interprets the song. Another would be Blink 182 “Adam's song”, Mark Hoppus had written the song as an anti-sucide and was horrified to find out someone had killed themselves while playing it on a loop.
