Some snap, some don't. Some learn to grow up. This kind of thing just tells me that teens aren't emotionally and mentally developing.

Probably has something to do with that rock n' roll music.

I think it has more to do with the curriculum in the school. The attitudes of the faculty and the situation at home.
If we're going to cite music as the cause, then blame it on that violent rap crap.

As for the emotional development... kids coming out of high school today are five years short of where their development should be. Not exactly the best education government money can buy. It's focused too much on the core subjects and not enough on how to deal with the real world on the outside. My stepson graduated from high school and he didn't know how to write a check to pay his bills.
High school is supposed to prep a student for college. Today they are prepped for either college or prison.
