Rock and roll has been labeled as intensifying emotions of teenagers. Youth may have become violent, negative or optimistic and more emotional when listening to rock and roll music. Some teens may even be positively effected by rock and roll music that is labeled violent or aggressive simply because it puts him/her in a good mood.
