Preferred term

music videos and aggression  

Definition(s)

  • Almost from the day of the launch of MTV (Music Television) on August 1, 1981, music videos have been accused of being excessively violent and of contributing to the culture of violence in the United States and around the world. Such allegations of social and psychological harm from watching violence in music videos are often based on fallacious assumptions or other informal or scientific fallacies, but some evidence of antisocial behaviors resulting from watching violence-laden music videos does exist.
