If you want to succeed in limud Hatorah and understand it in depth and want to be close to Hashem you can’t do aveiros including listening to things that ignite your yetzer hora and dirty your soul. Btw I have noticed that every kid that goes off the derech usually starts with music. Music is very powerful and the wrong music can have a very strong impact on you. There have been studies done that fast uptempo music played in a car subconsciously causes a driver to drive fast. There have also been studies that certain types of music lead to violence and that certain types of music can make teens depressed. No jokes you can google and read the studies if you have the interest. I’m just letting you know that music is very powerful and effects your moods and can pull you into depression and away from serving Hashem. Be very careful what you listen to because it goes in and its not so easy to get it out. I used to listen to non Jewish music I quit maybe 6 years ago I stopped counting. Anyways whenever I hear a song I know in a supermarket or other place playing radio songs I still have to catch myself from humming along or trying to listen and get into the music. Do yourself a favor and stop now before you get really into it and will have a very hard time quitting it.
