Heavy metal music has long been associated with aggression and violence. According to studies conducted on adolescents listening to this genre, listening may increase aggression levels, substance use disorders and suicidal thoughts.
However, these associations rely on correlational data which cannot establish causality. Furthermore, some research indicates that heavy metal fans derive positive psychological benefits from being immersed in music-based cultures.
