Heavy metal is one of, if not the Best music genre of all time. Since the 1980's heavy metal and hard rock have sunk to the bottom of the music charts being replaced by genre's such as rap, or hip hop some of which can hardly be classified as music. Genres like rap are a disgrace to singers like Corey Taylor, Ivan Moody, or James Hetfield who use their natural talent and don't need auto tune to sound even remotely decent. Metal and Rock are some of the only actual Music genres left. Heavy Metal, and Rock are some of the last few genres that actually use real guitars and drums to make real music rather than the computer generated background noise in most if not all rap and hip hop. Singers and all members of most Metal and Rock bands are insulted by the excessive use of auto tune and other electric voice modulators and/or music generators because they are basically spitting in the faces …show more content…

Everyone has a different view on religion but here are some cases of religious views of metal artists. Ivan Moody of 5FDP sings "I won't bow to something that I've never seen can't believe in something that doesn't believe in me. I'm not blood of your blood, I'm no son of your god, I've no faith in your fate, still I find salvation" from "Salvation" Ivan talks about how he doesn't believe in the average god. Ivan also sings "I spoke to God today and she said that she's ashamed." stating that he believes that god is a female. Other bands like Godsmack for example have songs like "Bad Religion" stating "Looking down on as I beat you It's bad religion, from a broken nation." saying that the war over religions is getting out of hand. Another band Black Veil Brides has a song called "Faithless" where Andy Biersack sings "Even when I fall down to my knees I never say a prayer I don't believe, And I don't wanna look up to the Son, But I will never be the faithless one." saying that he believes in a god but only refers to it as "the

Some of the song titles may be questionable, like "Suicide Solution," by Ozzy Osborne, but in the songs they never say to kill themselves for the music. He believed that any kind of heavy music lover would know and understand the songs unlike the other fan based posers, "the kind of kids who truly love heavy metal evidently suck at artistic interpretation" (Klosterman, p.47). So in this time where parents were blaming rock and roll the bands went on and did what they did best, which was rock

Heavy metal music was developed and introduced in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The music largely dominated the United States and the United Kingdom. The music has its roots in psychedelic rock and blues-rock, where the bands created thick, massive sounds. Additionally, the music had highly amplified distortion, emphatic beats, extended guitar solos and overall loudness characterized the music. Klosterman wrote a memoir that captured the essence of music in a personal experience in Fargo Rock City.

The Roman Empire, The Han Empire, and Relations to Neighboring Groups: A Comparison of Tacitus’s Germania Excerpt and Sima Qian’s Excerpt on the Xiongnu by Alex Prindle The definition of civilization or whether a culture is considered civilized or not has been argued throughout the course of history. Groups such as the Mongols, the ethnic groups surrounding the Roman Empire, and just about every group of people not part of a large, unified, strong empire in ancient history especially, has been thought of by their “superior” empire peoples as barbaric and uncivilized. Through the comparison of Tacitus’s Germania, and Sima Qian’s Account of the Xiongnu, it has been established that Tacitus paints a the Germans as a simple, and barbaric uncivilized

Another type of music is rap music. Older generations don’t really like the idea of the fast-talking rappers cussing every five or so words, but the younger generation seems to enjoy it. Rock music is a fast-paced more edgy sound

Since the rise of hard rock/ heavy metal in the 1980s, many crimes and deaths have been blamed on the bands (or singers). The Parents Music Resource Center plastered Parental Advisory stickers everywhere, and bands defending their music and themselves from the overly protective parents. Hard Rock/ heavy metal is a scapegoat for those who look for a high murder/ suicide rate. In 2009, Metallica’s “Ronnie” was almost considered for a New Jersey man’s reason to kill his own mother and a young boy.

It became clear that my music taste made me stick out like a sore thumb. I didn’t mind having a peculiar taste in music, still group discussion in class or outside brought to my attention that many steered away from rock music due to the common misconception that the genre was devil worshipping music. Of course they were just that, misconceptions. It couldn’t be true, not when Front Porch Step is aching over a heartbreak in their song Drown, with lyrics like “Well if I ever cross your mind make sure you write down the times/ so I will know the moments I was eating you

But this also, in a way, shows that it could come to being accepted by society in the future, and loved. Elvis and the Beatles were considered taboo when they first started out, and now they are cultural icons. Heavy metal is also “often used as a scapegoat to distract from the thoroughly more complicated societal problems” (citation needed 4). Here is an example: if somebody walks into a school and shoots someone, and they were a fan of pop music, nobody would think twice and just assume that the person was a deranged killer. If somebody else walked into another school and shot someone, and they happened to be a metal fan, then society would say that metal music drove that person to kill.
