Finally a study that proves Heavy Metal music combats emotions like anger and depression.

All the talk about how heavy metal music (or similar types like grunge, etc) supposedly makes people depressed and angry can finally end. Those of us who listen to it already knew this

Aw dang, I can't use Metal as an excuse for bad behavior anymore?

Heavy metal always had the opposite affect on me. Me and most of my friends tended to get stoopid and wild acting. I first heard this song about the time I first discovered this magical liquid called Jack Daniels. As best I can remember, some shit got broken that night.

From back in the day... before all of AC/DC's songs began sounding exactly alike and they still rocked!

What amazes me is how you can find so easily a study that will go your way, no matter what you want to "prove"
I'm sure as hell that I could find a study stating that a yellow iPhone is healthier than a white one, if my point is too make people buy yellow iPhone.

I'm also sure I can find as "good" studies stating the exact opposite of each and every one.

And even crazier than that: there are people paid, earning money, for vomiting these "studies".

Heavy Metal music does not combat emotions like anger and depression. When I hear it, I'm ready to kill again.... with a smile on my face.

Maybe different people just react differently to things? Just a thought.

Even more importantly...it just sounds cool.
