Metal tends toward conservatism in my experience.

[Boogieman]

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

[humblegunner]

Just sayin’...,.

“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.

Ping.

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.

Xer Ping

Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

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!

Having white men as heroes is no longer legal.

Let’s see. Very few samples, not at all random (volunteered vs. turned down), and questionable metrics.

...”they had fewer regrets”...

Sure, lots of immoral people don’t regret because they want to keep on doing the self-gratification without guilt. They can be in total denial that anything they do/did is a poor “choice”.

This proves nothing.

This was when you knew Metal was over.
