Abstract:
Background and Aim: Rap music has become increasingly popular among Iranian youth due to its themes related to lifestyle, social issues, politics and criticism. In this article, we aim to explore the influence of rap music on the lifestyle of the digital natives, also known as network generation. Given the distinct nature of the network generation and the prevalence of behaviors such as drug use and risky sexual activity among some fans of rap music, it is important to study the relationship between addiction to listening to rap music and its impact on the lifestyle of digital natives. This is particularly relevant due to the social acceptance of this music genre among Iranian youth.
Method: This research is of theoretical type and the research method is descriptive-analytical and the method of data collection is library and has been done by referring to documents, books and articles and online questionnaire.
Ethical Considerations: In order to organize this research, while observing the authenticity of the texts, honesty and fidelity have been observed.
Results: The analysis of questionnaire data and meta-analysis of previous research suggests that rap music, with its unique characteristics, can have both positive and negative effects on its audience. While it may sometimes help in increasing critical thinking, it also tends to have significant negative impacts on violence, drug use and the driving habits of digital natives.
Conclusion: It is suggested in the article that the negative-repressive policies aimed at controlling this type of music are ineffective. The reasoning behind this is that rap music is easily produced and disseminated and is promoted uncontrollably in the virtual space. Additionally, the new generation of teenagers has a preference for this type of music that cannot be ignored. To prevent and mitigate the adverse effects of rap music, a set of well-considered problem management measures, especially harm reduction policies should be employed.
