Hey - I'm doing some work for my A Level Media Studies exam, and I have to get research on a subject of my own choice....

I have chosen to look at how listeners of rock music (all sub genres) behave mentally and how those who do not listen to rock, stereotype those who listen to it.

Say for example, some people would say those who listen to Emo are suicidal and depressed all the time.

I'd really like any opinions on this subject as it's kind of controversial... Not a lot of people will admit that the music they listen to affects who they are and what they do. Equally, it is arguable that it's not due to the music - but either way I just would like some opinions! =)

I listen to metal and rock too, so I have some opinions... I have been looking at how Marilyn Manson has been blamed for influencing the Colombine Shootings and the death of Jodi Jones... It's really interesting stuff and I just want to know what you guys think!

Thanks a lot! x
