Özet:

In this study, it has been examined the relationship between music and society from the point of view of the songs that young people listen to the most and how these songs overlap with the young people's feelings about the society and system they live in. İndividuals, tend to prefer music that is coherent to their emotional state, known as the mood-congruency. Therefore there is a deep connection between the musical styles listened to periodically and social dynamics. In this context, in the Spotify application, which is a digital platform, six rap songs that young people listen to the most were selected and qualitative content analysis method was applied in the study. At the same time, the "System-Based Emotions Scale" questionnaire was applied to the 77 young people studying at the İstanbul Topkapı University Faculty of Fine Arts, Design and Architecture at the undergraduate level, which includes the feelings they may feel towards the system they live in. In this way, the relationship between the political attitudes and feelings of young people and the lyrics they listen to can be looked at more deeply. When we look at the results of the qualitative content analysis and the "System-Based Emotions Scale" questionnaire, the harmony between the two data draws attention. It is revealed that young people, as members of the current system and order, express their feelings, they want to say through Rap music.
