HylianFox 12/30/21 1:11:49 PM #1:	https://www.huffpost.com/entry/logic-song-suicide-hotline_l_61c3406de4b04b42ab676cc7 In the spring of 2017, rapper and producer Logic released 1-800-273-8255, a song featuring the phone number for the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The music video that accompanies the song features a young, queer Black man grappling with discrimination and bullying. He considers suicide, but instead calls the Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Logic performed the song at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards and at the 2018 Grammys. A new study published in the medical journal The BMJ showed that around the time of each of those high-visibility events the award show performances and the release of the song and music video calls to the Suicide Prevention Lifeline increased. In fact, the authors of the study found that Logics song may have saved an estimated 245 lives. Logics song 1-800-273-8255 was associated with a noticeable increase in calls to Lifeline and a simultaneous small reduction in suicides during peak social media discourse about the song, they wrote. The latter outcome is worth underscoring the occurrence of a widely disseminated song and video was associated with more than 200 fewer suicides than expected. --- This is my signature until I can think of a better one. <cite>HylianFox posted [p:961331652] in Rap song m...

Or is it just the media you don't like that you think has influence in bad ways over people. Every form of media is gonna have reckless people who let it guide them in the wrong direction. And you can easily use a lot of media as scape goat whenever you feel like writing off the bigger picture. You got 666 in your name, is that from Metal music making you worship the devil and the evil behavior that comes with that territory?
