Top Ten Things Metal Music Might Help You With
We all have troubles or need a certain kind of music to concentrate to. Whatever it is, metal might help you!It has helped me a lot in many situations. Some are even listed here.
I guess I am lucky because I have never been a victim of this, thank God. But I can imagine it is a horrible experience, and if metal can help, it would be great.
From my own experience, I agree with all original nine items on this list.
I know it's a difficult theme, but I had to include it in this list.
People hate others for no reason or bad reasons, so they start to bully you! I don't want to write more about it, but I know how it feels to get bullied.
Maybe metal helps you. It did for me.
Go to your parents, teachers, etc. There are special websites and hotlines where you can talk with professionals.
Yes, I couldn't agree more. I noticed that the average metal fan knows more about some music details than fans of other music genres. Metal fans often discuss riffs, solos, drum beats, vocal ranges, time signatures, etc. I don't think pop fans pay as much attention to such elements.
Absolutely true! Start with Megadeth - Peace Sells, and Metallica - One, The Unforgiven, Welcome Home, and many more.
Some bands write about bad things that happen because of our society.
Often you first have to understand the lyrics because some are hard to understand.
I listen to sludge or black metal when I'm writing about a demonic entity.
Especially power metal and brutal death metal lyrics.
The best music for workouts - it gives you energy when you feel exhausted.
Black, death, and slam bands are my bands for riding a bike. They just fit for riding faster and having more energy!
So true. Most metalheads listen to metal in different languages - Norwegian, Finnish, German, Spanish, and so on. Some of these languages are pretty exotic, like the fictional Troll language (Trollspråk), which blends Norwegian and German (used by the band Trollfest).
Listening to music in different languages activates new brain cells and connections. This helps you think outside the box and gain new perspectives, making you more open-minded. It pushes you out of your comfort zone, but after a while, you have a new and wider comfort zone.
Metalheads can also tolerate different accents. Many great metal bands come from Scandinavia, Germany, Poland, The Netherlands, Denmark, South America, and so on. Most of these bands sing in English, and yes, the singers have accents. But as far as I know, metalheads are okay with that. Metal music somehow teaches you how to be more tolerant and open-minded.
You may be shy, but metal might help you. Some lyrics are about shy people who gain more self-confidence.
Sometimes you can't concentrate on doing a certain thing (not reading) and can't focus. Maybe Metallica will help you.
Directly or indirectly, most metal music has this message.
Just go to a local concert and talk to the people. They won't hate you and would love to have great conversations.
Maybe you will meet new friends.
Oh hell yeah. I may not be physically tough, but my attitude can get pretty scary.
There are always songs that can make you happy in just a few seconds. Maybe it's that great guitar solo or a groovy rhythm.
