'Drill' Music Linked To Rise In Violent Crime In London.

A new form of rap has been linked to rising violent crime in London. 'Drill' is slang for automatic weapons. The music is sparse, bleak and nihilistic. I don't know how anyone could listen to this for pleasure, but I suppose it is a representation of life in British inner cities for impoverished minorities, who feel that no one cares, and that that the only chance they have to make money is from music or football:


Is UK drill music really behind London's wave of violent crime?

 

Been hearing this argument for 40 years.

Blame music instead if confronting the hard questions

 

Just saw this on the news. In my opinion, music is an expression of the situation, whether it be political or social, not the cause.

 

I think it's symbiotic. One feeds the other.

 

music has always incited violence I cant listen these songs without wanting to kill some fucker !

 

I wouldn't mind, but they can't even rap!
