In which, violent lyric content may be an "arousal and provocation of may be of potential response by their listeners" (Johnson. B. and Cloonan. M, 2009). In contrast to the usual conditions of reading a book and viewing paintings, the audience or listeners especially in the current pop era may well be effected by music with violent lyrical content as listening to music has become part of their daily routine.
