Negative effects of rock and roll on teenagers in the United States between 1950 and 1980

This thesis investigates the negative effects that reached American teenagers through rock and roll music between 1950 and 1980. I will prove that the rebel ideas and feelings that rock and roll transported to youth influenced them to start drinking, smoking and using drugs. I would like to show the connection between the spreading of rock and roll and the rising criminal and drug addiction rate through statistics and diagrams. I examined some of the most popular rock and roll stars' problem with alcohol, drugs and I have found evidences about that they were not ideal models to follow for teenagers.
