What is Music Culture Jordan Murray Noble AP Lang Period 5 Jr Theme A study in 2008, showed that 15-18 year olds listen to about 2.4 hours of music every day (Pacific). One may say that music is ingrained into normal life. The biggest television event of the year is the Super Bowl, and halftime is all about music. Music in movies can make or break it's success. Music is everywhere, but what comes from the content of these songs? Music culture promotes substance abuse, promiscuity and violence.

He proceeds to repeat that for about 16 lines for all three of the hooks in the song. This song was also a number one hit, featured on Today News' Summer Concert Series. Another song with equally "profane" lyrics, Lady Gaga's Disco Stick where she sings about wanting to ride "Your disco stick" in the hook of her number one song.
