Does heavy metal music have a bad influence on teenagers? Does it affect them in any way? Do you think heavy metal is a good thing or a bad thing for teens?

Heavy metal is music. STOP worrying. Music is a way of expressing yourself! As a teenager, I find myself frustrated and rebellious at certain times and I listen to Heavy metal AND a lot of other music. I enjoy heavy metal because of it's intensity. There are no kinds of music you should worry about. No music is bad for you.

No, metal and heavy metal musical genre's don't have a negative influence. Many bands in this category are even religious based bands such as We Came As Romans and Underoath. Look up Christian Metal on google and see what you can find (:

All music has different effects on the brain, and can either cause  a person to be calm very calm or hyper, but its all in the words research what the teenager's music lyrics consist of.
