Subliminal Messages In Rock Music

A group of researchers were asked by a radio station to conduct research about subliminal messages. Some people believe that rock music has subliminal messages and that those messages had and evil content that lead listener to lose morality and misbehaviour conducts. The way how this messages work in the music industry is using the technique backmasking. During they work they found a distinction between willing acceptance of backmasking and the media mishandling of the issue. The connection with subliminal messages in media is informative. Even though subliminal messages were found. They were not able to demonstrates the effect of them on the individuals behaviour. Brian Wilson Key, claims that advertising uses subliminal messages to influence

the public, but the searcher could not find evidence to support the claim because the fact that any industry uses them does not prove their effect is real. For instance , one of Key’s example is the preference for a rum brand over other three was due to a messages print on the label that says “u buy”. To take every factor in consideration for that preference they discovered. First of all none of surveyed were able to see the “u buy ” message, and other facts about the brand make it a good choice. A study of backmasking showed that people are not able to understand the messages. The messages sounded like a novel in a foreign language. Therefore not effect was not proved. They do were able to identify physic conditions like whether it was a male or female voice and which foreign language was played.They failed to understand the meaning of an audio played forward and backward a true lack of effect. It was also found that people are able to understand those message when they are already aware of them.
