I remember reading about some study ages ago about an inverse relationship between violence in music and violence in daily life. Basically they found that gangsters who were doing horrible things every day listened to much 'nicer' music than people living essentially nonviolent lives.

Makes me really wonder about those who listen to New Age or other really chill music. (This includes me, at times.)
Ultraviolence and Beethoven?
c'mon, Beethoven is metal for 1700s.
When the waltz was introduced, people said that the dance was too lascivious and would result in the decay of societal morals.
Hell yeah, Lana Del Rey should collab with Beethoven

(One of her albums is called Ultraviolence)

Welly welly well well.
