It all sounds demonic to me, so I steer clear of heavy metal.
What do you mean I “hurt your feelings?”
I didn’t know you had any feelings
What do you mean I “ain’t kind?”
I’m just not your kind
What do you mean I “couldn’t be the president
Of the United States of America?”
Tell me something
It’s still “we the people,” right?
If there’s a new way, I’ll be the first in line
But it better work this time
“unique-looking headbanging people”
They’ve all been uniquely unique since 1968.
Sorry; this entire article must have been written by AI.
I’m 70 now and I rediscovered metal a few yrs ago. Now I love it and I think the most maligned musical groups are bands like Metallica, AC-DC, and Black Sabbath. The stamina required to perform their songs is mind-boggling and their musicianship should be applauded.

Seems a certain level of organism just needs that sort of club-drubbing.
Still better than the “mutha fugga, mutha fugga” jungle chanting that another species craves.
The left out one of the most over-represented style-genres: Clap-Trap
I can’t describe it very well. But it is frequently called “news” on NPR and other left-tilt broadcasts and podcasts.
It makes people stupid. And angry.
I have a long time acquaintance who is currently in rehab. At nearly 50 years old he has yet to break a cycle of drug abuse and depression. He uses others and abuses himself. In fact nearly all he thinks about is himself, whether with pride or with loathing. Metallica is one of his favorite bands. I genuinely question whether that music is good for his soul. To the extent any form of music endorses and promotes self-autonomy it has the effect of robbing the soul of true love.
[[Metal music can induce serious amounts of negative emotions and predatory instincts in mice while solving a maze.]]
I hope a wizard never turns me into a mouse then-
For a very long time (70’s through mid 90’s) Rock was king of the popular concert based music, with Heavy Metal being one of the Dark Knights, some may say Joker.
All that shifted as per amount of money made, in the 90’s with the (Breech)birth of Rap.
I think there is still a solid fan base for hard rock among today’s young people, just not on the scale of what it once was. Country Music went through a similar arch.
Metal fans also tend to be most polite fans. I’m assuming it’s because they direct their aggression towards the music.

Manowar, “ The Gods Made Heavy Metal “
Im still listening to metal, especially a sub genre’ called folk metal. Its definitely pagan and very myth, story based stuff, but the instruments, bag pipes, hurdy gurdy, violin, pan pipes, accordian, even dulcimer, just tickle auditory areas of my brain that make me smile. I generaly gravitate toward punk, thrash, and power/glam/hair metal, but have a healthy appetite for anything that tells me a story, classical to zydeco. For anyone interested, Korpiklaani, Eluveitie, Arkona, Turisas, and Heidevolk were my gateways to folk metal. YMMV.
Certain subcultures have a very dark nature indeed - the story of the band Mayhem is one of a submergence into insanity, depression, and suicide - these were disturbed young men and some of their fans celebrate it. This isn't healthy, but sometimes lunatics are just lunatics. It happens.
Over-analysis destroys this, as it does most art. Sometimes it isn't altogether bad to scream defiance at the universe. Sometimes the universe screams back.
So, I started listening to metal/grunge during treatments. For example, this was one of the tracks on my playlist. Probably not the type of music anyone would pick while ill. But, it made me feel instantly calmer and very focused like a warrior ready for battle.
One of my kids must've inherited the metal gene, but he listened to death metal, which I don't understand. He said he couldn't explain why but it "speaks to his soul." He's a great guy, so I assume it was telling his soul good things... lol.
Although my musical tastes are eclectic and diverse, HM is not for me.
Higher prevalence of our people in metal than any other music possibly
Pissing while lying on your back this one
Saxon is by far my favorite they have tons of releases and still doing it since the late 70’s.
You know where you are going! : )
