Is heavy metal evil ?

You have touched on a topic I was thinking about...not exactly the same but getting there. I was thinking about why we choose the music we do and how that works for or against us.
I don't think I'd say all heavy metal is evil, but it's not the type of music I listen to a lot. Mostly, I think the lyrics that go with any type of song can be a good or bad thing. I don't listen to a lot of heavy metal... just not my thing for the most part. I take a look at the message given with a song and also how it makes me feel when listening. I want music that isn't about negativity, but I do get my moments. lol

Metal is amazing the feeling you get from playing it is euphoric

Nope, not in my book. It's what keeps me going some days haha.

This pulled me through a lot of pain. Metal music is amazing tbh.

People are always quick to label what they don't understand or like to be evil.

Metal isn’t really my jam but you described exactly how I feel about all the punk music I listen to. I think that’s what’s at the heart of most similar musical subcultures.

The words tend to not be uplifting . Not my favorite type of music.

I love the same bands too

I'm really looking forward to the new Iron Maiden album

Early in the last century, jazz was evil too. Preachers claimed it was an addiction through the ears.

It's just angsty complaining lol

I loved it when I was 14

Of course it’s not evil

Nah smooth jazz is evil. Metal is fine.

Well....they do usually display satanic symbols. So, I would say yes. Plus that and rap is lower vibrating music as opposed to Mozart or classical being the highest

Although you can get heavy metal poisoning, ii believe a sheet metal is the real villain

I guess you've never heard of these guys:

Metal is life 🤘

nope just a pain to listen too but old country is worse , lol

It’s never really been my taste, but I don’t find it evil.

Nah
But there are some pretty fucked up people out there that write fucked up lyrics with messages I would categorize as evil. But that's not the mainstream. There is such a thing as "neo-NAZI bands" for instance, the message doesn't really become any better if you bring it with a drum and put a guitar riff behind it. But by itself, heavy metal bands aren't evil.

It’s not evil but I like music you can dance too.
