Well, I can't say "from my limited experience", because I don't consider my experience to be all that limited, and in any case that's a subject which could be debated ad infinitum.

And I didn't say "doesn't make a contribution", I said "doesn't make that much of a contribution"

And, I don't recall saying anything about "make it's fans as happy". I'm sure that talking about killing cops and f**king hoes makes somebody somewhere happy, but what has that got to do with making a positive contribution to the society?

So, tell me what exactly J.S. Bach "contributed to society" anyway? Music that people enjoy and remember? Something that other future artists followed and emulated? Positive things for the community?

All these hold true for metal and guys like Dimebag as well.

"Well, I can't say "from my limited experience", because I don't consider my experience to be all that limited,"

Unless you enjoy or study metal music your experience listening to metal music is limited. That is not open to debate unless you listen to metal music for some other perverse reason.

Incidentally, music isn't required to make a positive contribution to society according to your standards. It is only music, entertainment.
