Metal tends toward conservatism in my experience.

Bet they turn out a lot better than hip hop fans.

“Heavy metal was the No. 1-selling music genre in 1989, and parents feared the worst: that Satan worship, drug use, loads of sex, and suicide...”
Yeah man. Society has turned out so much better since 1989.

If they wanna look at a group that had a problem, they need to look at the rave scene. Us metalheads mostly got stoned or drunk and except for the off their rocker black metallers who thought they were actual demons in Norway, The satanic stuff was pure camp, not serious. We also didn’t fry ourselves on a rat salad of acid, Heroin Ketamine and meth weekly either.
Sure we had our casualties but most of us made it out alive.
Sort of ;)

“Metal tends toward conservatism in my experience.”
That’s what was so insidious about it.
It was normal kids and young adults who seemed to be drawn most to it.
Thus dumbing down a generation of Americans who ought to be conservative.
It dumbed people down and increased anti-Christian views and increased weird religious beliefs in what would be the normative mainstream.
It really did have a huge impact in bringing about the “new Normal” nightmare of today.

For years I was a big fan of anything Metallica put out before the black album. I don’t listen to it much anymore, and I’ve become a Christian.
To: ifinnegan
You misunderstood. Many metalheads are todays conservatives.

Records were burned, "Parental Advisory" warning labels were born, and some '90s research suggested that teens who were into metal had a boatload of problems. And who led the charge?
Why, it was Al Gore's wife, that's who!

Dave Mustaine is no fan of unions or high taxes so he fled from California and bought a farm in Tennessee.
He also points to the Bible for his reason for opposing gay marriage and refuses to tour with some bands that he considers to be openly satanic.
