I know country music celebrates prisons and moonshine and, rap celebrates drugs and whatever else.... Please leave your social justice warrior glasses out of this.
I am asking in countries other than the US, do their top musical topics celebrate criminal elements?
In Italy do they serenade the mafioso life?

do their top musical topics celebrate criminal elements?
quote:
Vincent "Ivanhoe" Martin (1924–9 September 1948), known as "Rhyging", was a Jamaican criminal who became a legendary outlaw and folk hero, often regarded as the "original rude boy". He became notorious in 1948 after escaping from prison, going on the run and committing a string of robberies, murders and attempted murders before he was gunned down by police. In subsequent decades his life became mythologised in Jamaican popular culture, culminating in the 1972 cult film The Harder They Come, in which he is portrayed by Jimmy Cliff.
His nickname comes from the term rhyging, also spelled rhygin, a variant of "raging". In Jamaican Patois it is used to mean wild, hot, or bad.

Swedish death metal and black metal celebrate violence. Germany has a hardcore scene that has songs about violence. Britain is similar to the US.

Murder ballads, which are very much thought of as country/bluegrass/Appalachian have their roots in Europe and the British Isles.
One of the more well known, The Knoxville Girl (best known from the Louvin Brothers Tragic Songs of Life album) is based on an Irish ballad - The Wexford Girl - which was itself a derivative of the English ballad The Bloody Miller or Hanged I Shall Be. The English version was probably derived from even earlier poems.
There is actually a book called I Shot a Man in Reno: A History of Death by Murder, Suicide, Fire, Flood, Drugs, Disease and General Misadventure, as Related in Popular Song that traces some of the history.

It's going back a ways, but how about American Indian war drums? I know, it didn't help them win the wars...
