Should heavy metal be banned?

[The Huskar Social Union]

In my second last D&D sessions we killed a 10 year dwarf child.

SATANISM HAS CONSUMED ME.


Well to be more exact, i yelled stop that kid, and the monk snapped his neck of his own accord.

That just sounds like a typical DnD session to me.

The kid rolled a nat one when he was neck snapped by the monk, so i justified it by saying it was assisted suicide.

[Hammer Britannia]

Yeah but Sabaton's songs are actually good, unlike Bieber's

But Justin Bieber is terrible unlike Sabaton.

Both acts also have dedicated fans who will immediately jump to the defense of their idolized musicians with carbon copy statements.

You mean like every musician ever?

[Belshekistan]

This is saying that "music that expresses rage incites the populace" with this logic, the only songs we should have are Soviet work songs. Anyway, find me stats on heavy metal that back up that point.

You're saying we shouldn't just have soviet work songs?

Never could stand D&D, so I guess I am safe.

And since monks are humble instruments of God in this world, murdering that wee child clearly was the Lord's will. Nothing satanic about it.

Was that the original setting, or did a certain amount of retconning occur?

Some homebrew stuff, our main campaign is the Mine of Phandelver but we had a slight detour

[Novum Imperium Atlanticum]

Why is this even being discussed in a quasi-serious tone? Shitz and giggles or am I supposed to take this seriously?
Either way, y'all know how the ole saying goes right?

I have no room to talk, my DnD party at one time came very close to burning down an entire inn (with a baby inside the building) to burn all the witnesses to the party's actions after having accidentally been drugged from the stoner psion in the party accidentally blowing up an abandoned apothecary. Plus we routinely used dead enemies as trap-testing meat shields, and I do believe at one point escaping a castle dungeon my 8 foot tall dragonborn bard used a dead guard as an improvised flail...

And to keep this DnD sidetrack related to the topic of metal music, ever since I first saw this meme I cannot get rid of the mental image of the aforementioned bard flying through the air, breathing fire, and playing some absolutely sick guitar solo:

The party still hasn't decided what metal song should be Hkiral's anthem. I mean, probably something to do with dragons for obvious reasons, but if metal music were banned, we would have a much harder time than we already are in deciding what metal song best fits the bard!

Slight detours is how the Austrian death metal combo Pungent Stench ended up with funk elements in their depraved compositions.

Now I want to hear Reppy growl to Death Metal.

Funnily enough, that's one of the genres of metal I'm not terribly fond of overall. I tend more toward power/speed and the more melodic flavors I can sing along with without destroying my voicebox. (... Though, the one time I tried Through the Fire and the Flames at karaoke night, that still damn near did me in! But then that song seems to be specifically designed to murder you in any musical video game format already, so why not in karaoke too?)

Granted, I'm hardly a hardcore metalhead, my music tastes are extremely eclectic and it's not particularly weird for my playlist to go from Manowar to Garth Brooks to Lindsey Stirling to Dragonforce to Linkin Park to Two Steps from Hell to some obnoxious Jpop thing I can never remember the title to, so....

Ahh, Fire and the Flames. Saw it in Guitar Hero, also saw it in Tap Tap Revenge (RIP). All the clicks and taps you gotta do on the very first minute. And headbanging, don't forget the headbanging and hair twirl. I personally won't try that, because I would love to sleep without neck pain.

Ooh, sounds like you have a diverse music library. I'm also kinda like that, with music from all genres.

Also, this. Come on, none of you can deny the awesomeness death metal can give.

I tried to headbang to fire and the flames, but my haircut is a shave. Whipping non-existent hair. Anyway, that is beautiful. Not only is it better than the original song, I like death metal. However, rap is king. Metal shall always be second to rap.

Ahh yes, long hair. Like this!

Hehe, rap is also pretty cool. DMX is good IMO, but for some reason, I never get into Eminem's music. I'm sure they're nice, but I just didn't really listen to them.

I think I should go to a metal concert at least once. It was said that even after all the "violent and murder" music, the metalheads are one of the nicest groups out there.

Eminem is cool, though N.W.A and Childish Gambino win. Anyway, sometimes you just gotta listen to some things, and not others. Metalheads are cool people. Violence and murder music doesn't really affect a person. It's just an arrangement of sounds.

Seems to be my experience from the two concerts I've been to. A friend of mine who is far more of a metalhead than I am has often raved about what a good time she's had and how nice the band members are and how generally chill everybody is with eachother at the bajillion metal shows she's been to.

From the one metal show I went to, some of the more metal metalheads welcomed me, and gave me things. They're really polite people, chill too. They even were cool about me having to parkour over them to get to the bathroom.

These 25 subgenres come from a listing at the metalinjection website.

ABOBC/DYLANC. Best band name ever.

[Grand Britannia]

If we're gonna ban music based off their "message" start with Rap and Trap, and end with Despacito.

Enjoy! And the least expected of metal instrumentation... BAGPIPES! (Haven't listened to Eluveitie in ages, thanks for the reminder!)

That was good stuff! But it has some strange bedfellows on that list. Thanks for the link

[Oil exporting People]

Heavy metal is full of violence and anger. Songs like ‘I’m gonna force you at gunpoint to eat me alive’ and ‘f***ed with a knife’. American Academy of Pediatrics argues the lyrics of heavy metal music influence risky behavior and attitudes, some studies even show heavy metal listners are at a higher risk of suicide and self harm. If it is the government’s responsibility to protect society, should heavy metal music be banned? Clearly, heavy metal should be restricted and controlled, maybe we don’t have to ban all of it, maybe only some? Maybe violence and anger aren’t necessary for musical stlye and we can have decent heavy metal sounding music to satisfy angsty teens. Clearly, music full of rage emotions is not healthy for people to consume.
