Metal fans do tend to abuse small animals and piss their beds

hmmmnn makes you think

>linking tabloid as scientific fact

I guess this just furthers OP's claim

>>60875134
cite your sources biatch.
for the record, I have OCD, tourettes, and symptoms of, but no diagnosis for, schizophrenia. And I like metal. But I like a lot of other shit. I think it makes more sense that my enjoyment of Ornette Coleman or Henry Cowell more so than my undying love for Archspire would be related to my diseases.

Because metal songs speaks to adolescent edgy teens

>>60875134
I think the real issue lies in the fact that most people expect to speak with an adult when they talk to a greasy haired 35 year old virgin who never shower (no need cuz no socialization).

But nope, they're really 13-15 year old children trapped inside the bodies of grown up.

Explains the gap between their mental and physical beings.

Hmmm.. makes sense.

It doesn't explain why they post on /mu/ tho??

Like if they're 13-15 why are they allowing themselves to post on /mu/? And why do they always put on trips?

Not sure if these guys are trying their hardest to back up OP's claim or if they're actually challenged enough to forgo any self awareness?

Anyways. That's about the extend of a metal listener's mind.

Some say that their mental capacity is only slightly above that of redditors who frequent /r/trees.
