That's why nobody listens to metal at my school! People like BigAznDaddy and such...

Mr Cadwallader then held an online discussion involving 19 members of the academy, 17 of whom were heavy metal fans. They spoke of listening to bands including System of a Down, Slipknot, Tool, Dragon Force, Forward Russia and In Flames when they were in a bad mood and using it to work off frustrations and anger.

YUCK.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

lol, those bands only make me angrier. It takes something Cryptic Slaughter~esque, grind, or death metal to work anger off of me.

That is exactly what I thought :P

:) I agree. The idea behind the article is what counts! Err... I don't use metal to ward off anger/deal with social problems though :P

The conclusions seems to be based on speculation...

I mostly disagree with what this article says. I find a lot of smart people listen to metal, but I think their reasoning is way off, at least it doesn't fit with my experience.

Pfft, Tool is amazing. And this article is partially full of shit, because I don't know a single person that classifies Tool as heavy metal.

I posted it because of the idea that smart people listen to metal. The bands they classified as metal isn't :)

I didn't read the whole article, but it doesn't seem to consider that "metal" is currently a popular genre...

Would it be incorrect in saying that? I don't consider metal a current popular genre. Maybe in the 80's but not now.

I'm pretty sure a large number of young people listen to metal...
