I think it only transmits is emotion. Think about it, both Death Metal and Christian Rock artists often write about Christianity. If music transmited ideaologies, then Death Metal should sound exactly the same as Christian Rock, but it doesn't (thank god!... or satan). Thats because the music is transmitting emotion and there are infinite number of different emotions one can feel about an idea Bigthink Fri, 18 Jan 2008 00:58:50 +0100 http://www.bigthink.com/arts-culture/music/3968/#2520 http://www.bigthink.com/arts-culture/music/3968 Music can influence people in a lot of ways. Personally, I think that Rage Against the Machine has proven themseles to be some of the greatest activists of the new generation. No other group has raised political awareness in youth since the days of the hippies. This is very important because it can often be difficult to get young people to watch the news or - God forbid - read a book.
