Death Metal Murders

How can they blame the music? It doesn't stir people into feeling false rage...the anger already exists. The violence, the hate, the confusion, the loneliness, ..is not a result of the music, ..it's a cause for the music. The music would not be there, and be popular if there wasn't a call for it. If anything it deters people from trying to escape their wretched lives by showing them that they're not alone in their desperation. There are others like them full of inexplicable, unexpressed anger. It provides a venue to vent, a reason to rage, an acceptable act to purge the despair and fury without guilt. It's a fuckin relaxation exercise and is enjoyed by many without literal examples being taken and executed. What came first...metal or teen angst...violence or war...life or death.
