Angry Music Spreads Hate and Aggression ?!?!?

That list is daft. I can't take it seriously when the authour has no clue on what sampling is. What really put me off is his or her claim that Kanye West claims that the songs he made are his. Kanye West is the only mainstream musician that references and plays with the artist he or she sampled as far as I know. He puts them in the music video. The song cover. And plays with them at the Grammys.
"Music is meant to inspire peace and a sense of community"
Surely this is all I need to say, this single quote illustrates how misguided the author is.
Lynyrd Skynyrd also clearly have no idea what they're talking about.

I listen to mostly 'Satanic' Black Metal, Viking metal and death meal and yet I am one of the soppiest, geekiest, bubbliest girls you will ever meet.
Music can be blamed for a lot of things. But I can not believe anyone has any tangeable evidance that it causes people to be agressive and violent.

Never really had that effect on me. Angry music is just angry music to me. I don't believe it spreads hate and aggression though.MiracleOfSound said:
[sub][sub]There's like only one angry song I listen to anyway and it's VGM from Streets of Simcity.[/sub][/sub]
"There's hardly anything more crass than making music about food. Whether it be in a jingle for Subway or McDonald?s, or in a Jimmy Buffet song, emoting about what you enjoy stuffing in your gourd is as gluttonous as gluttony gets, and completely American. Who else derives so much inspiration from their fat gut? You don?t hear Indian songs about curry . . . "
What?! The musical value of Subway's jingles aside, "Margaritaville" is a CLASSIC. And I have no idea whether Indians sing about curry, but I know plenty of Irish tunes about various alcoholic beverages.
Damn trolls. //shakes fist

There's such a thing as Viking Metal? Would you please provide an example or a link. I would love to hear that.Red Bomb said:
Agreed. It's angry, but unless you're very impressionable it shouldn't make you actually want to do something stupid.Redlin5 said:
For example, while this song could get a crowd going I doubt that it's gonna cause anybody to "kill people, burn shit and fuck school".
I also love how they even manage to squeeze in an implication that doom caused columbine. Well done.
Anyway, yeah, this is kind of old. I thought we were past the whole "Manson is evil and corrupting our children! WHY WON'T ANYONE THINK THE CHILDREN!?" bullshit. Oh well.

Iron Maiden are the best band in the universe and their fans are the best too. When I saw them I made about 20 friends last night just from signing along and being in awe that Iron FUCKING Maiden were playing in front of us.
Huh, I always find that 'angry' music is the musical equivalent of a stress ball. It lets out energy but it's not directed at anyone, in fact I'd say it stops me from breaking people's faces every now and again. If I let out my anger by bashing away on an instrument or moshing away to some Anthrax, I'm a hell of a lot less likely to be angry the rest of the time.
"Rap people". Why am I laughing so hard at those 2 words right now?Unabletothinkofname said:Also:
Rednecks. :/
The author really has no clue, does he? "Music is meant to inspire peace and a sense of community", indeed. Obviously, you would know all about music, wouldn't you, Mr. generic internet blogger #43000?
Huh. All the chilled-out Meshuggah fans I know must have a festering pile f mutilated corpses at home, in that case. Laws of physics and all that.
Tell me where to find them. The ones I've met in high-school and university, and even the one in church, have all been firmly on the "not" side of the friendly scale.dlsevern said:
Anywhere, I don't know where you live but no matter which city I've been to, the metalheads are always the friendliest. Maybe its you, I don't know you so I can't say that you're not a nice person but perhaps its your personality. Do you make fun of them or talk down to them?

1. Allowed yourself to be offended by just one person's opinion
2. Linked the article, bringing it to a wider audience
The score currently is him 2, you nil. Sure, the author's an idiot and clearly doesn't know what he's talking about, but people like this are better off ignored.
Music can be used by anyone, for anything, and anyone who doesn't think so is simply wrong. I guess Guantanamo is proof of that, but then ANY sound in that context would have the same effect.
ive always looked at music this way, (Im definitely a metalhead but im definitely not angry/agressive because of it).
You are a rock in a river, and the water of that river is your life experiences and the music you listen too, The rougher the water, the smoother the rock becomes.
However you can weather the rock to the point where it cracks, but if your water is all smooth and nice and calm then your rock is left with all these sharp points and edges.
Do i make any sense?
