1. Music promotes experiences of the extreme for its makers and listeners.
2. Music creates a certain atmosphere and controls the mood, it is used to fill silence and pass the time, and lyrics require attention.
3. Music helps kids socialize; whether in social gatherings or helping to define social boundaries.
4. Attention to lyrics is highest among fans of oppositional or controversial music, such as heavy metal and rap.
5. Music addresses issues that are central to the development of kids with a directness that they do not get from adults.
