“Most young people listen to music to lighten the mood, recharge, etc. However, young girls and boys, are prone to depression, more likely to choose a metal music listening with a negative attitude,” explain the authors of the study. According to them, other music styles, including rap, rock and pop music have on teenagers is depressing influence as heavy metal.
Scientists believe that young people are drawn to heavy music because he sees it as a means to escape from reality, and believes that this music reflects the pain they feel will save them from loneliness. It is worth noting that some teenagers felt great after listening to metal bands, and so scientists advise parents to monitor the mood of the child before you allow him to listen to some music.
