I honestly HATE how criminal minds uses the fact that the criminals listen to metal music.. in one episode the metal heads weren’t even the bad people, now a father was talking about how his son listens to metal and it’s not understandable.. idk, it’s just ridiculous how even tv shows target metal heads for being destructive and bad. I know many people that listen to metal and they’re the nicest, non violent people you could ever meet.

Even your taste in music has a stereotype. I have lost friends just because I told them I listen to metal and they thought I was a satanist because of that.

Sign of the Horns \m/

The Sign of the Horns, in metal, has never meant praise to the devil or anything of that nature. In fact Ronnie James Dio raised the sign as a way to connect with his fans. This hand gesture is now used by metal heads everywhere . He got the sign from his grandmother who said it was used to “ward of the evil eye”.

The claim that listening to extreme music causes anger and expressions of anger such as aggression and delinquency has yet to be substantiated using controlled experimental methods. In this study, 39 extreme music listeners aged 18 to 34 years were subjected to an anger induction, followed by random assignment to 10 minutes of listening to extreme music from their own playlist, or 10 minutes of silence (control). Measures of emotion included heart rate and subjective ratings on the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS). Results showed that ratings of PANAS hostility, irritability, and stress increased during the anger induction, and decreased after the music or silence. Heart rate increased during the anger induction and was sustained (not increased) in the music condition, and decreased in the silence condition. PANAS active and inspired ratings increased during music listening, an effect that was not seen in controls. The findings indicate that extreme music did not make angry participants angrier rather it appeared to match their physiological arousal and result in an increase in positive emotions. Listening to extreme music may represent a healthy way of processing anger for these listeners.

Many people think of metal as an anger provoking music but psychology says otherwise.

Not everyone who listens to Metal is a satanist!

Sometimes we’re little short blond girls who are way to quiet in class, or that one kid who looks like he listens to Beethoven.

True story

Metalheads

As Metal Heads we are more than just fans of a music genre. We are not satanists or the embodiment of rage. We are community. 

The last metalhead I met was my replacement at work. He is now my best friend. This happened because of our connection to the metal community within Vermont.

A great example of how metal can be positive and not have screaming.
