   'Evil Music'!!!!
  Is it true that listening to bands/singers such as Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Eminem can actually make us think differently? I mean, generally as a rule, I get pissed off easily... and tend to... break things. My parents are on this... anti-suicidal music movement at the moment, I mean really. Linkin Park and Good Charlotte induce suicide???... Serious discussion, please.   I don''t have a signature, sorry. 
;  I don't realy remember wanting to kill myself to GoodC. Well the Bloody Valentine song is kinda creepy. Anyway I'm sure there is tones of research say all kinds of stuff each way. Personaly I would say that true lies in between the extreams as it so often does. If you grown up enough to have already made your own thoughts than the music you listen to realy shouldn't be able to over ride you moral stance. On the flip side exposing yourself to only one type of thought process can lead to desensification to it. With enough exposure you could further your likelyhood to be a part of certain thought processes what ever they may be. Although you would probaly have to have some prior intrest in it to expose yourself that much to it. The music you listen to is most likely a reflection of the person than something that influances the person.  In your case it might be good to skip a song if you notice it having an affect on you. I like it as loud and hard as the next guy but sometimes a song will creep me out and I skip it. For your average Joe, music shouldn't be enough to cause rage issues. That is most likey due to something else. If everything else in your life is balanced enough you should be able to handle some violent music.  You sould look into why you get so mad. I doubt it has anything to do with music. I've lost it out of anger and destroyed things around me and even took it out on myself from time to time. Its not a great way to live. It gets harder the older you get and people give you less room for mistakes made out of anger as well. Most people dont realy get how out of control you can get. I say get a real opinion from a pro not your parents. Thats if it is a real problem. If its not watch yourself and make sure it doen't become one.

Personally, i do feel they make me more aggressive and anti-social but i keep my emotions under check so they don''t boil over and make me self-destructive.;quote:Original post by GreatWarrior   Hi there.I like rock and metal music but I dun think they are suicide-inducing.

And that marilin manson (if not completely nuts), he performs very well the role of a completely nuts transexual zoophylic alien.

I think it would be importaint to point out that the short term emotional effect music can have may or may not have any relation to longer term behavior changes. This is not in response to previous post just expanding on an idea put in the ring. ;  No. No. No.Ok, Good Charlotte and whatever the hell aren't suicide bands, you retard.How old are you, 12? Tell your parents to get a grip on reality.Slipknot even isn't a suicide metal band. They may sing about suicide and 'teh deval', but that doesn't mean you have to follow what they say.It's all just MUSIC.Nothing more.Music can induce moods, but it can't harm your personality.Take a pill, calm down, relax, you're not going to commit suicide over music.Tell your parents they need to get out and see the real world.Peace out.EDIT - xaxa - Marylin Manson doesn't wear 'the suit' anymore. He's a great artist (with his music), so don't dis what you don't understand.Subliminal messages have been disproved by our friend science, so if anyone tries to pull that one on you, tell them to go subliminally fuck off.Later.
