Metalheads are smart, according to a new study. I don't know how accurate this new study is though.

You could say that any form of music that you engross yourself in will provide a juxtaposition in your life but as for being smarter? I'm not so sure but I definitely concur that anyone who looks behind the mainstream fodder and embraces it has an inquisitive mind.

I'm not surprised either, loads of geeks like black metal.

EDIT: "Mr Cadwallader then held an online discussion involving 19 members of the academy, 17 of whom were heavy metal fans. They spoke of listening to bands including System of a Down, Slipknot, Tool, Dragon Force, Forward Russia and In Flames when they were in a bad mood and using it to work off frustrations and anger."

I'm sorry, i thought they meant metal

Slipknot is metal, just less aggressive, commercial metal. Dragonforce, well, lmao.

You wouldn't think so looking at this forum where 9/10 of your average slipknot fans can post stuff like

The audience doesn't make the music. I actually listen to Slipknot a bit myself. I don't really care what everyone else thinks of a band. I just like their music.
