Some psychological reasons why people love heavy metal



If you know about the musical tastes of the person, you can tell a lot about his personality, especially if people like a modern heavy metal. Scientists from the University of Westminster in the UK uncovered the psychological reasons to love this musical direction: According to the findings, many fans of heavy metal inherent in general a certain pattern of personality traits.

The study involved 414 people, half of whom were students and fans of bands like «Overkill», «Enslaved», «Disturbed» or «Cradle of Filth». They were required to assess whether they liked this or that group, and they estimated their inherent traits: in most cases, all the fans of "heavy metal" were inherent in the need for uniqueness and self-esteem, as well as disregard for the authority and religion. < br />
Few predicted that in most cases heavy metal like men who do not like someone else's power, but feels the need to be unique. Also, the love of heavy metal linked with openness: according to the researchers, public figures have a greater chance to fall in love fast and challenging music. Interestingly, the fans of heavy metal, tend to have relatively low self-esteem, as a catharsis from listening to such music helps her improve.

Of course, the results may be applicable to only a few hundred people in the UK who participated in the study. But the authors believe that their work will help scientists better understand the true reason for the preference of this musical, instead of attributing the fans of heavy metal such stereotypes as the propensity for antisocial behavior or violence, as well as to better understand the psychological needs, the lack of which heavy metal can make.
