Introduction

What is it about music that makes us teens rebel? Is it the anguish in every word that we relate to? Is it the groove or the melody that gives us the feeling that we are invincible and we can do anything if we put our minds to it. Needless to say these emotions don't always lead to good things. Violence, drug and Alcohol Abuse...but in everyone, these kinds of moments make us who we are, and who we will be when we are adults. Isn't that what being a teenager is all about? Going from childhood to adulthood. Shaping our character for things to come. The Music of our generations are representations, symbols of what we experienced and when.
