Influence of Modern Pop Music on Teen Behavior

Introduction

The pop music has always been one of the main elements in the formation of culture, and in turn can influence behavior and emotions of individuals. Throughout music history, pop music has undergone major changes, one may notice changes in musical styles over the years from classical music through disco until the current one; the pop music, and every age has had a musical style that represents.
