Drill music has often been criticised for glorifying violence, leading many to question its role in societal aggression. But is it fair to blame a music genre for rising crime rates, or does it merely reflect the harsh realities of life for marginalised communities?
While its gritty lyrics and beats provide an outlet for artistic expression, critics argue it may perpetuate violent behaviour.
Is drill music a cause, a symptom, or a scapegoat in the ongoing debate on music and social responsibility?
I personally would not point the finger at music or video games etc. When I was a kid it was Eminem, hip-hop and wrestling that 'made kids violent' - I think it's very risky to correlate media to behaviour.

Humans have been violent way before modern music; is it encouraged by media like drill music. I always liked Guy Richie movies but I'm completely anti-violence and a pacifist politically.Eminem in Sing for The Moment said:They say music can alter moods and talk to you
Well, can it load a gun up for you and cock it too?
Well, if it can, then the next time you assault a dude
Just tell the judge it was my fault and I'll get sued
