Heavy metal does not cause depression or suicide[views:4302][posts:20]__________________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 10:48pm - conservationist ""] [img] The mainstream media establishment is attacking heavy metal again, just like they did in the 1980s, and this time they're using suspect "science" to claim heavy metal causes depression and possibly suicide: A new study conducted by Melbourne University finds that teens exposed to heavy metal music are more susceptible to depression and suicide. "Young people at risk of depression are more likely to be listening to music, particularly heavy metal music, in a negative way," said Dr. Katrina McFerran. - Guitar World We know how this goes. The scared sheep demand a scapegoat. Heavy metal concerts get canceled, bonfires made of the CDs, and fans demonized. We've been there before. Fight back against this ignorance with truth: Modern-day crusaders want to blame heavy metal and declare a witch hunt because these people want a scapegoat. They are afraid of the actual problems with our society because those are big and deeply-rooted problems. It's easier to blame heavy metal, burn a few records and then declare victory. It also does nothing to destabilize the problem or its causes. - "Does heavy metal cause suicide?" on Examiner.com Join our Facebook page, Heavy metal does not cause depression or suicide to help show the world we're not going to take it anymore. |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 22,2011 8:21am - ThirdKnuckle ""] Nowhere in your linked Guitar World story does it state that 'Heavy Metal causes depression and possibly suicide'. It says that listening to it might be an indicator of depression. http://www.guitarworld.com/study-heavy-metal-fans-more-risk-mental-illness You should run for office, you're really good at purposefully misrepresenting the facts |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 22,2011 6:53pm - ThirdKnuckle ""] these stories and headlines are worded as they are to create the impression in the reader that there is causality. if you read the actual stories carefully they NEVER categorically state there is ANY causality; they 'imply' or 'insinuate'. but that's enough to get some people who can't read real well all riled up. like conservationist is trying to do. |

| _________________________________________ [Oct 24,2011 8:53pm - ValkyrieScreams ""] Whatever. Anyone who reads this article (or worse- the flawed study it was based on) and actually invests themselves in the implications (ie, believes that "heavy music" is problematic to society) was probably already predisposed to senseless fears and the free-flow of ignorance before they even laid a finger on the paper/screen/etc. The masses will find the answers they seek, wherever they look, no matter what the "evidence" suggests. The phenomenon is, dare I say, old news. Annoyingly stupid as it is, I'm not worried about the potential repercussions of this article. |
