"In Mexico, gang-related violence, drug dealing, and music, especially narcocorridos, are closely linked, significantly influencing youth. Narcocorridos, a subgenre glorifying drug cartels and violence, celebrate cartel life and power. For marginalized young people in cartel-controlled regions, these songs offer a sense of belonging or escapism. Cartels like Sinaloa and Los Zetas recruit vulnerable youth for criminal activities, with music reinforcing and normalizing this lifestyle. Narcocorridos often desensitize listeners to violence, creating a culture that perpetuates crime and lawlessness, further embedding cartel influence in Mexican communities and impacting youth development."
