Hardcore punk

Speed metal is similar to the tempo of punk songs because according to the book it “refers to the fast tempos and blazing guitar passages” which is one of the signature characteristics that the band had. Metallica is a great band and they have been very influential to many rock bands as well as different genres of music other than heavy metal. They have been influential to bands to most heavy metal bands and few big bands that I can name that were clearly influenced by them were Slipknot, Korn, The Misfits and even the pop-punk rock band Sum 41 was influence by them so much that they made a cover version of Metallica song “Master of Puppets” as a sign of respect. These bands were influenced by Metallica due to the bands famous speed metal style, their ambitious serious lyrics and their willingness to experiment with complex structure styles of music. Besides band they have also influenced other genres besides heavy metal such as the punk-rock genre, alternative, pop-punk, and even rap/hip-hop music. Metallica has been extremely in the music industry in general and will continue to do so for the foreseeable…

For this week’s post I decided to read the article ‘Emo Angst, Masochism and Masculinity in Crisis by Emily Ryalls. When you google the definition for emo, it says that emo is a style of rock music resembling punk but having a more complex arrangement and lyrics that deal with a more emotional subject. In the article it states that being Emo is generally a subculture consisting of white heterosexual male. Emo males act as a locale to challenge the masculine identities especially the hegemonic…

Psychological Effects of Metal For a very long time now music has been used in many different means, whether it be entertainment or therapeutic. From dancing to escaping reality, music has many effects on the mind. I believe that within these effects, music holds more positive growth than negative. But what are some of the effects and who do they effect the most? More specifically, what are the effects of the heavy metal genre? Dr. Katrina McFerran has stated “Most young people listen to a…

Christian music, for the people who are interested in listening to electronic and techno music.

There is a pack on my back; it is imaginary. One cannot see it, but trust me, it is well decorated. It expands, it contracts, and it becomes what I need it to be, given the situation that I am in. I carry this pack with me everywhere I go and I can never take it off. This pack on my back contains all of my life experiences. Sometimes my pack is incredibly heavy in life’s situations, and other times it is light because I simply do not have experience in those settings. There are even pockets on…

So while it is true that lyrics do have an effect, another more conclusive experiment would be to have a 4th group that listened to a band that is more solidly defined as being purely in the metal music genre. Perhaps a separate experiment could be…

believe that hardcore music overall has impacted today’s youth in a positive way. Speaking from experience, hardcore music and the community, or scene, surrounding it have impacted me in a very positive way. Throughout high school, and for a little while after, I never thought I belonged anywhere. I never thought people were happy to see me or know I was around. Then I happened across the scene, and it was like I found what was missing from my life. I finally found a group of people who…

like you just accidentally walked into a Hot Topic store at the mall, those characteristics produce the same generic image of someone who probably listens to heavy or extreme music. Hardcore music is an extremely broad genre but can be broken down into four main subgenres: punk, emo, screamo and heavy metal. Often these hardcore people get judged for being out of control or violent and are thought to be unfriendly or harsh to others who are not like them. However, this is not the case. People…
