(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The fact that today music has become a rigorous force in dominating over human will and directing him toward its own goals is double-proved when studying the relationship between music and the youth as the most active and effective social groups in everyday life. The social transformation – as discussed in previous chapters – has given rise to music as founder of a social subculture since it has had control over the most significant and effective means of social revolution, that is, rebellious force and energy of the youth. Hence trying to make a revolution in the twentieth century along with other elements and variables, music has started an interaction with the youth and meanwhile has developed an affinity with them - a kind of relationship that has been peerless in the history of human life.
In the past, the youth made direct or indirect connections with music within the framework of their cultural macro-system, whereas today they have started a direct and face-to-face communication with music. In today’s everyday life the youth have moved from the peripheral to the textuality of music, and especially since the second half of the twentieth century they have become strategic targets of musical industry.
Music and the youth have become two intermingled phenomena with no possible room for disintegration or distance. Music not only functions as the most important means of leisure time activity and fun for the youth, it is also present in their minds and souls as an effective and constant element. Young people of the modern world have made a particular relation with music; they not only consume it, but also try to produce it. The studies made during the 1970’s and 1980’s prove the hypothesis that having transformed itself to something totally new, music has in fact become the object of desire of the youth.
