Most metal heads in my experience spend their time styling their hair, blowing each other, and listening to music made 40 years ago because their genre hasn’t made good music since the late 80s
Not all metal, but there is a type of metal that increases a person’s probability to become a violent criminal. It’s called “lead”.
Wait until they tell you that mercury is in Gatorade
Obviously a bit daft to generalise about any musical genre but if I were to pick one with a higher number of capably violent people I’d say Streetpunk (also known as oi) and if I had to pick a second it would be hardcore punk.
Country music.
Gangsta rap beats all genres mentioned here in terms of associated violence and death.
Not if you take the crimes per capita of that genre’s fans. Something like Norweigan Black Metal would win then, or some tiny Nazi punk scene.
So you’ve added the criteria per capita; I still think you’d find that the gang milieus that gangsta rap (in its various forms) is closely associated with vastly overshadows any isolated cases of Nödtveidt or Varg-wannabes there still might be out there. Black Metal is also one of the most popular subgenres of metal nowadays, so the per capita argument doesn’t really apply.
RAC/White Power-music perhaps, but then only because the fanbase of this music is so embarrassingly small.
Finland is the happiest country in the world.
They also have the highest number of metal bands, including one specifically targeting children (it’s called Hevisaurus btw).
These two facts about Finland feel like they shouldn’t line up but they do.
