"Leer-ics" or Lyrics: Teenage Impressions of Rock 'n' Roll.
Prinsky, Lorraine E.; Rosenbaum, Jill L.
Youth and Society, v18 n4 p384-97 Jun 1987
This study compared adults' impressions of rock music with those of teenagers and found vast differences. Youths reported hearing subjects relating to their lives such as "growing up" while adults heard more references to sex and violence. Perhaps the differing impressions reflect differences in learning, experience, and literary abilities. (VM)
