It happened before rap music. But did the violent society that exists in 
the 
US occur before mass media became all encompassing?

You must be a young dude. I can remember when it was safe to hitchhike 
most 
anywhere. I can remember when chicks didn't have any qualms about getting 
in 
a stranger's car (and I'm not talking about hookers as is probably you're 
normal dating scheme). The violent scene in the US didn't always exist, 
dude.
