A recent study in Netherlands has concluded that kids listening to what the study calls "unconventional music" end up being "delinquents." The research says kids who listen to Justin Bieber and One Direction makes them better people, NME reported.
The research defines "unconventional music" as hip-hop, metal, gothic, punk, trance or techno/hardhouse. The study was conducted on 300 school kids who were between the age group of 12-16. The research followed the children for four years and concludes that kids listening to rock and other "unconventional music" turned out to be engaging in "bad behavior," while kids who listened to "pop or 'highbrow' music like classical or jazz" turned out be good students, Atlantic reported.
The study said students who listened to rock were more prone to commit crimes later in their life. "Music is the medium that separates mainstream youth from young people who may more easily adopt norm-breaking behaviors," study said.
It also said that, "in peer groups characterized by their deviant music taste, norm-breaking youth may 'infect' their friends with their behavior"
NME also reports of another preposterous survey that was conducted by Erasmus MC University Medical Center in the Netherlands where they concluded with - "loud music, smoking marijuana and having 'risky' sex'".
