20:07 if you are agreeing with the same man who's actively partaking in the monetization off of gang violence while he proclaims "drill music is actually bad," the point of this video is going over your head.

The songs initiate violence but the violence creates these songs. The violence comes from their environments and the environments come from the lack of housing, education and money.

Music cannot make you want to kill another person. That jump from "this is badass" to "I'm going to kill someone/sell drugs/rob someone" is a jump which is made by your environment and, in rare cases, temperament; not by 808s and entertaining stories.

[@carterr8786]

Drill music specifically 100% inflames gang wars and escalates tensions. You have people rapping about how an opp got run down, where an opp was shot, name dropping dead opps and saying they got put in a spliff. 100% you listen to people rapping about how they killed your friend and saying rest in piss, you're going to want to get back even more. A lot of drill references real events and real people, it's not just music or lyrics for entertainment

[@throwaway9964]

so if someone made a song talking shit about your friend that just got killed you wouldnt feel anything?

[@purga1563]

@@throwaway9964 I'd feel upset. The inclination to then go and murder that person, actually, instead of as an intrusive thought, is not summoned through the musical medium. I guess you'll just have to trust me. If they did the same through a twitter post, I'd feel similar things, and much more often it's through facebook, instagram, etc. that these beefs are escalated; yet you hear nothing about restricting social media. Because it's just a medium, it's neutral.

[@purga1563]

​@@carterr8786 What role exactly does drill music play here, besides the simple medium? Are you telling me that social media posts, videos, etc. are exempt from this? Are you proposing that fliers are bad for society too? Do you understand the effort that goes into making a song and music video, it's not like it's super easy to do (in fact social media is much more often a source of beef, from my experience). You're talking about something completely different than I am

[@carterr8786]

@@purga1563 social media posts don't get millions of views. Songs create a back and forth element, songs bring fame and clout chasing into it. We're not going to pretend that drill music has never gotten anyone killed. Even appearing in a music video could get you shot, the entire point of the song is to flex how many people you shot, how many of your opps are dead, and how nobody can kill you.

The question “Is drill bad for society?” is almost the same as “Are violent videogames bad for society?”.

[@MilanNikolic96]

Music affects us more than games I feel, and it covers a broader spectrum. Plus drill is obviously tied to a lifestyle, it provides something to the culture, and if it does that, it affects the mentality of the people that are engrossed in that culture

[@-CNOCK]

I know so many people who started acting diff when drill got big in the uk

[@aClownBaby-]

It’s not really though. Some wannabe attention whores are shooting/stabbing people literally *just* so they can rap about it later. And make their drill more real/credible.

[@tvtrauma7024]

No they are different. The difference is that drill rapper brag about murdering people and selling drugs. Video games are in a fake virtual world and Drill in not. Worshipping murderers and drug dealers has a bigger impact on your morals than running over an npc in gta

[@AD00MA]

The big difference between Drill Music and a game like GTA is drill music is often a mix of real and fictional gang violence. The audience may not become more aggressive but gang members striving to make it out the "streets" are encouraged to kill and brag about it. It creates this endless cycle of murder and fighting then romanticizing it over some beats.

Drill does contribute to violence. Drill is a product of violence mainly but when someone raps in a song about how they killed your friend and says rest in piss, that escalates the violence to a certain degree. People have been killed over beefs that largely played out through back and forth songs. Plus if you make it big and have a hit song, it puts even more of a target on you. You're now a known opp and if someone kills you, that's a big deal. That could launch their own music career. It's not as big of a reason as poverty, economic opportunities, or anything else. Drill can also allow people to escape poverty, but you can't deny it plays a role in the Internet age where it can act as a catalyst for murders

[@woodchucker91]

i mostly agree with you but let me ask you this: if you take away drill music there will still be gang related crime and violence, but if you take economical and educational inequality away do you think drill music would still be so popular? if you agree drill is a product of the environment some people live in, would it not make sense to focus on the root issues rather than the media that is popularized by it? Drill songs are definitely a catalyst of escalating violence in some cases but if not drill then people will find every and any other outlet to express themselves

[@carterr8786]

@@woodchucker91 ya you need to focus on the root causes. Obviously banning drill or stereotyping people who listen to it doesn't really do anything at all. Just I felt like xQc was disagreeing with the guy, about drill music romanticising violence etc. From the perspective of the O-block guys, they know how fucked up everything is and drill music is the least of their concerns. They see it as an opportunity, if you try to say to them "why don't you stop making violent songs" that's like a slap in the face, considering their entire situation and how their friends get killed in front of them. Drill is a minor contributing factor, in general we don't censor art but we can acknowledge certain aspects of art can naturally lead to provocation and controversy

[@TrajanDavis]

just like death metal contributes to violence. (It doesnt) its a form of expression. listening to the music wont make me go out into the street and start killing people and repping my block. it just makes me hype. no the violence comes from gang life and the conditons of which they live in which in turn they make music about. I dont listen to raining blood by slayer and then go out to kill and murder to then make it "rain blood" like the song intends. its all art. those kids were gonna kill each other even if they didnt rap about it its just white kids are listening to it and loving it making them rich off of their suffering.

[@carterr8786]

@@TrajanDavis death metal is not the same as drill. Drill makes the life seem more appealing and there are definitely people who are influenced by the Drill scene into becoming gang affiliated. When you have money and fame then you're more likely to choose that path. That's an edge case but you cannot say it has no influence at all. Some people listen to songs about suicide and death and then kill themselves. They're already depressed but the song makes them do it, people are very easily influenced. Any experiment in human psychology will tell you that humans can be made to do things against their will quite easily. Like cults etc. Drill music is a contributing factor

[@TrajanDavis]

@@carterr8786 no. Out of all of the songs of violence , murder and death I’ve listened to i still have no murderous intent in my heart so that psychology is invalid. It’s literally a way to express how I feel. And rappers use drill rap to get out of that life and stop all of that gang and street life. There are definitely rappers that stay there because they are a product of their environment. And sad songs aren’t the reason people kill themselves ,they are going through something and they listen to music that relay that same situation emotion or feeling. Little Timmy listening to drill music won’t make him leave his nice home to go out into the streets and live in gang life.

If you ban drill then 18+ video games should be banned for being "violent" too. If listening to a song or playing a game makes u want to harm someone u were prob gonna do that regardless.
