It's not a strawman. And when combined with the lyrics that are used, it only compounds the evil. The beat of the music increases the heart beat and affects areas of the brain and becomes addictive. And affects a person like a drug. And they need more and more. Even the praise music used in contemporary worship does the same thing. Exactly the same thing, with lyrics repeated over and over and over. Just doing that alone will do the trick.

This has to do with why reading is so much different than watching T.V. Reading engages the brain. T.V. and music bypass the judgement center of the brain and just gets absorbed.
