Question to be explored further in the essay... but i personnaly don't see how it can be used as a catalyst for youth crime. music videos arent allowed to be explict anyway and I listen to drill music regularly and has never encouaged me to be violent. has it desensitised the younger generation or just highlighted and made them more aware of the problems we have in this country. brining the violence to light as if it was a cry for help. people who have listened to drill music and then go out and think its acceptable to cause violence clearly have childhood issues and have not been educated correctly from there parents.

"Drill is a grass-roots, urban music genre that depicts the harsh reality of life in London’s social housing estates. It is inspired by the sound of the impoverished suburbs of Chicago, and it gets its name from the “drilling”, distorted rhythmic structure and graphic lyrical content."

the idea that drill music isnt just a sub genre but an actual sub culture in its own right. the clothes, black tracksuits, puffer jackets and balaclavas play are all associated with the music. concealing your identity for genuine legal reasons has resulted in a lot of mask wearing which leans into the idea of resistence towards the government and society.

from a music students opinion, drill music has a lot of qualities that make it an interesting and enjoyable genre to listen to. Not many other genres ive heard can capture the same energy that you get with hard hiting 808s, dark minor piano chord proggressions and passionate vocal delivery. great gym music to get you motivated. The producers, mixing engineers and rappers need to be talented people. most importantly the drill sound is constantly evolving whilst keeping the same energy the beats have gone through a lot of musical changes as well artists expressing themselves with new and unique flows
