As a fan of technical death metal and a guitarist it is one of the few genres that has the depth and complexity to keep me interested. This is also why I enjoy music from Sibelius and other classical greats. In contrast, most pop music is so stock that I can guess the next notes in a sequence and it just becomes dull to listen to. Also, as someone often described as stoic, metal has a enough energy to actually get me excited and feeling. When I listen to it, I get more of a response than say listening to DMB. I wonder if this is related to being an introvert, a lot of metal heads seem like they like to listen to music alone and get energized from solitude, where as a pop music fan may enjoy listening with friends. |

I'm not sure that this is true. Back in highschool, most of my close friends also happened to be into metal, so we listened to it together a lot. These days, fellow metal heads are so few and far between, that it is hard to find fellow enthusiasts and metal is so polarizing, that unless they are into it, they probably don't want to hear it.
