OFWGKTA: A Passing fad or phenomenon?
What is odd future? One sentence cannot describe this music group, or can it? Odd Future, (otherwise known as Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, or OFWGKTA) is a hip hop collective out of LA that has achieved somewhat of a cult status in some areas.
Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. Know it or not, Odd Future may be influencing your child’s thoughts, emotions, and lifestyle. Currently my little brother is sitting upstairs in his room blasting Tyler the Creators beats with the door shut. My family and I are sitting contently in the living room socializing, reading, and just generally hanging.
My question: Does the music that people listen to affect their general mood and temperament?
My Belief: Music influences people subtly. Many have heard the belief that listening to classical music makes you smarter. Some scoff at the idea, but while writing this article, I am currently listening to the fiddle of Alastair Murray’s jump and play without the voice of man. Dr. William Pryse Phillips defines the term the Mozart Effect as, “"Slight and transient improvement in (ones) spatial reasoning skills.” To me, this sounds like bullshit, but as the door opens to the real world of other cultures, socities and ways of life, I have to ask myself, is the music that my generation idolizes making society dumber?
