Teens find good and bad role models through music videos

Though attacks have been leveled at rock music since Elvis Presley first swung his hips, the advent of music television videos (MTV) has created a new twist in music's influence over teenagers.

According to a television expert it's not the music or the lyrics that are so bad. And the music video industry is working to improve its products.

"However, music videos magnify the effect of the music 100 times and that can be a problem for teenagers who gravitate toward this medium," said Victor Strasburger, M.D., a member of the AAP Subcommittee on Children and Television.
