"Why do you listen to metal?" 

"Why do you listen to metal?" "Why don't you?"

My favorite metal subgenre is aluminum

"Doesnt metal make people violent?" Metal is the reason im *not* violent. If i didnt listen to metal, you'd probably have a rusty spoon in your eye by now

"And I be polite, because I’m a canadian..." xD This one literally killed me

my grandmother was in my car and she was digging the Deicide I was playing. and she's a regular church goer. keep it brutal, g-ma

thats when you say "FOR THE RIFFS MAN.. THE RIFFSSSSS!"

i listen to metal because 1. it sounds like metal 2. it's beautiful music

Trust me, you've got it easy.Try being a black man and being into Metal.People stare at me when I wear my battle vest or band shirts, my job will let everyone play music over the loudspeakers except for me, I always get asked why I don't like rap music, and the most annoying of all, I constantly get called "white boy" or "sellout". Wanna trade?

I'm a highly sensitive introvert who gets easily overstimulated, and I mainly listen to metal on a daily basis because of the fact that it de-stresses me and keeps me from constantly overthinking. So in that sense it's an incredible form of therapy for me which (to the bafflement of anyone who asks me why I like metal) is what helps me stay positive. Great video as always!

Him:”Why do you listen to metal?” Me:”Why do you listen to pop.”

"Why do you listen to metal?" "Well, because it's my personal taste."

“It’s like... When life sucks, and you feel alone, angry and empty. You just put some metal and life is better because you know that there’s somebody that knows the rage and the pain you’re going through.” -Deathgasm. PD: Album recomendation: Reap, by Reincarnage. 🤘🏻

"Why dont you listen to metal" "Why don't you" "I hate it!" "I hate you!!"

person - why do u like metal Me - why do you like (person Fav of type music) person - bc it's good Me - theirs your answer

I listen to metal because I absolutely adore the adrenaline rush I get from the music, it drives me insane and that I just love that feeling. I also love the music in general, it's far more deeper and meaningful than listening to most pop music today where everyone just copies everyone else and all the songs have the same beat and same rhythm. Oh and because people tend to leave me alone, I hate it when guys try to hit on me, so all I have to do is say I listen to metal and they run the other way xD.

"Why do you listen to metal?" "Because I like it and I don't need you or anyone else's approval."

Another question I get asked when I'm listening to metal is "Do you actually like this?" My boss asked me that once. I used to work shipping/recieving so I spent a lot of time by myself. He came back once when I was listening to some Gamma Ray and asked that question. I just looked at hime and said "No, I'm listening to it because I hate it."

My friend once asked what music I liked and I said metal, and about 5 people suddenly turned around and stared at me. They all had exactly the same expression and after about 30 seconds my friend said, wow I always imagined you listening to country or classical! I had absolutely no idea how to react

"Why do you listen to metal?" Same reason you listen to your music. Because it makes me happy. What look do you have on your face when you hear your favorite song? More than likely it is the look of pure joy.

its making me proud, its making me special, the metal music is like something big event is going to happen, like something heavy is approaching... really words cant express the feelings of what satisfaction u get from heavy metal

I listen to heavy metal to cope with the psychological and emotional damage I suffered as a small child. It helps me deal with my abandonment issues and the sound of anger soothes me.

"Why do you love metal so much?" Chuck Schuldiner

"Why do you listen to metal?" "Have you actually listened to it?" It is complex and cathartic, brings up all sorts of emotions and ultimately calms your nerves

I listen to metal because I can.

"why do you listen to metal?" " why do you listen to auto tune."

I'm a metal baby, my dad's a huge metal head, he raised me on the good stuff

I always get told that I look like I don't listen to metal. Nobody ever believes me just because I don't look like the stereotypical metal chick. It ticks me off but at the same time I always like the surprise I get when they find out I actually do listen to metal. 😂

double standards are possibly the worst thing to have

I'm 51 and still love metal. I always loved when people would tell me. "It's just a fad" I've been a metal head since high school. When they ask me that question.. I just look at them and tell them.. Go sit down and listen to Iron Maiden's Brave New World. and THEN come back and ask me that question.

I listen to metal for the sake of getting a huge rush that lifts me off the ground. Also, there are more songs in metal that have meaning to me on a personal level and lyrics I can relate to.

I'm a Goth and I mostly listen to metal! Why I listen to metal? I just like the dark feel to the genre and it keeps me in a good mood for everyday of the rest of my life.

2:35 That's the combination I never thought I'd hear in my life

Honestly the reason I listen to metal is more of an ease of depression... when some heavy ass Riff comes on I just can't help but feel a since of purpose and acceptance I suppose... probably not the best answer but a true one

"Why do you listen to Heavy Metal"? That's What you do with it. You listen to it. That is the purpose of it. That's why it was created.

there are simply 2 reasons why boring people don't like metal....... 1. they automatically associate metalheads with skulls, blood and other horror stuff, which is definitely not the case of every metal subgenre, so they just hate it, because they don't know enough about it, they also think that every single metalhead is a rebellious hellraiser and troublemaker, which is also bullshit...... 2. some people just don't like the music itself, cause it's too extreme for their own music taste...... I mean, if someone actually likes "music" like Justin Bieber, it is really hard to imagine that particular person liking rock music in general, nor the most quality and extreme version of it......

I listen to metal because there's nothing else like it and it's most intellectual genre that can explore more themes unlike genres of music that mostly singing about sex and superficiality

When I was the only kid in my college class who listened to metal... "Dio can you hear me? I am lost and so alone... I am asking for you guidance... Won't you come down from your throne?"

I listen to Metal because I love the speed, the intensity, and the vibration of the music.

my grand mother literally went to Hellfest with me

The French Snuff film thing was weirdly specific, is there something you're not telling us?

I listen to metal because its a badass way of expressing my emotions and sometimes I just wanna scream my anger out and metal satisfies me. Its more meaningful than any other genre and omg those sick ass riffs!!!! Make me have an eargasm!!! XD

"How do you even understand the lyrics?" "I don't care about lyrics."

Can you make a video about why you should listen to Metal?

"Why do you listen to metal? you cant even understand it? its so satanic and violent?" ????um????why????do????you????care???? As long as i can understand it, that's all that matters. Metal doesn't talk about Satan 24/7 Metal lyrics can consist of helping others, philosophy, religion, logical information, feelings and emotions. Who could not resist Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Dio, Pantera, Gorgoroth, Mayhem, Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse and Metallica and much more. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON ROCK, GRUNGE AND CORE GENRES.

"Why do you listen to metal?" It's not only because I like it, it is a genre of music that I can strongly relate to & why I consider it my very own sacred haven from all the horrible BS in life. The music, the riffs, the lore, & the diversity of creative lyrical themes whether it's about Darkness, War, Destruction, Dragons, Monsters, Demons, Skeletons, Dark Fantasy, Horror, Chaos, & all that other scary stuff. Everything about Metal just feels extremely transdimensional, orgasmic, & just incredibly amazing. After a while listening to my all time favorite bands like Disturbed, Mushroomhead, Korn, etc, I've decided to expand my tastes in Metal & started to dig deeper into pretty amazing bands such as Iced Earth, Within Temptation, Lannon, Fear of Domination, Hostile Breed, Dååth, & various others from genres like Thrash Metal, Nu Metal, Industrial Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Progressive Metal, Gothic Metal, Symphonic Metal, etc, etc. I listen to Metal because it helps me stay positive, it prevents my anxiety & depression, & it prevents me from overthinking about the horrible things in life & in all honesty I can be a very sensitive person & it's embarrassing to admit it. I used to get yelled at, bullied, picked on, mocked, emotionally & verbally humiliated all because I'm not like everybody else & that is something I should NEVER feel ashamed of. Literally everybody else only listens to Pop & Country because they have absolutely no musical standards whatsoever or maybe because it's "popular". I don't mind listening to other genres of music that are outside of Metal such as Dark Ambient, Classical Music, Eurodance, & Cybergothic music. I don't hate people for liking Pop & Country, I just hate the music in general because it's boring & it constantly sings about the same old repetitive lyrical themes whether it be a "love song" or a song about partying. It makes me sick having to hear those same old topics & always gets aired on the radio 24/7 nonstop. That's why I love Metal music because it has a vast variety of creative lyrical themes & such. Though I'll admit that I used to like Rap music when I was a little kid until when I've turned 11 & started checking out Rock & Metal music, then that's when my taste in music started to evolve & just thank God I stopped listening to Rap because that crap went farther down to the garbage disposal. Being a die-hard Metal fan has me special, unique, & proud, I even wanted to start my own Metal band because it's what I love doing & I feel heavily inspired by that. Despite all those loud harsh aggressive vocals, heavy riffs, & super brutally dark lyrical content, I am literally one of the very NICEST people on the planet & I guarantee you'd definitely like me as a good friend. My love & therapy for Metal music also shows that I'm not alone! I have few close best friends who share the same tastes of Metal & have shared their same experiences as I do. I could've never been that much happier in my lifetime because if Metal music didn't exist then my life would be in a different yet destructive path of misery.

Whenever i get that question i always turn it around on them and it ALWAYS goes like this: "Why do you like metal music?" "Why do you like the music you listen to?" "I just do" "Exactly -.-"

Dude, this is the first video I've seen of you and I love this topic. I'm so glad you made a video on it

Heavy metal isn't for everyone because it is esentially a wall of sound, You get bombarded with so many sounds at once it's difficult to tell whats going on therefore it just comes out as noise to the "normal" listener. But if you can hear the bigger picture and how it all comes together Heavy Metal is mindblowing. Not to mention how diverse it is. It varies from epic 8 minute orchestral pieces about fighting dragons to an absolute sonic assault that hits like a 10 ton truck and it can even be pirate themed (No Grave But The Sea HYPE). As for me, i listen to Heavy Metal because it's the first music genre that actually made an impact on me. One of my fondest memories is stealing my brothers Whoracle, putting it in the CD player and getting literally stunned by Jotun, spending the entire album sitting on my bed and staring at the wall with a dumbfounded look on my face.

I listen to metal because there's so much talent, patience (in learning an instrument) and over all love involved in the community.

I listen to what I listen to because I like it

Great video dude, I love your insights.

explaining anything about metal too a non metal head is like trying to to talk to a brick wall

METAL!!!!! Intensity Complex Loud Exciting Different Stands out Can be peaceful Good stories Good poetry Still use instruments I appreciate instruments More than just singing Growls Sream Nothing like it I will still dance and shake my ass to metal if someone tests me on this theory that you can't TRUST ME!!!

You can't dance? do the toxic waltz man! 😂😂

Best style of music

For the breakdowns and growls 🤘🏻

"I be polite, because I'm canadian" I - 😂😂💀

Why do you like metal? Cuz it's for the sexy people...

Story of my life. I've always been the weird kid in school and I always had to explain myself and my interests and hobbies no matter what it was. It is quite obnoxious!

Because I like energy, passion, creativity, escapism, honesty, adrenalin, atmosphere, indulgence

i listen to metal/deathcore cause i just wearing black & love how a crowd of random people can sing songs together during a band performance

Random Person: "Why do you listen to Metal?" Me: "I just do./or/Why do you care?/or/Everyone likes different music, it doesn't make them taboo./or/What does it matter to you? It's not like I'm forcing you to listen to it."/or/"I just like the sound of the music."

"At that moment I realized that I was gonna be working with a bunch of hillbillies" best part

Thanks for the video, gotta say your hair is goals! I listen to metal because it gives me like electric vibes no other genre does. And well, i don't think there is even a better reason to listen some music than that a person simply likes it, enjoys it. Greetings from Finland!

the third person : " I like rap & I like Nascar"" Isn't this a oxymoron?

This might be a weird question but do you think a Mohawk can be seen as a heavy metal haircut?

"Why do you like metal?" "You're asking a question that requires a lot more explanation than your brain is willing to grasp."

"Why do you listen to metal?" Because metal give me wings when I dream, give me strength when I feel weak. It's the catharsis when I need it, and it's the only thing is always there to help you.

Person: "Why do you listen to metal?" Me:"Why do you listen to pop?" Me: "Cuz wood is boring" Me: "Why dont you?" Heh

This video has 665 comments. I'm only posting this to get it to 666.

I tend to ask the same question despite being into metal myself, it’s just different than pop or rap which offers a more conventionally enjoyable sound. Also different people like metal for different reasons and it’s interesting to hear

great video B.M.W! I listen to metal for many reasons. Mostly tho... it's my preference over anything else presented to me.

when i get those questions, i just ignore them. I mean wtf... why do you like something? Because you like it...

I like death metal

When people say to me “You Listen To Metal, Why? It’s stupid!” I say “Because i Can!”

Has it ever dawned on those who ask the question " why do you listen to metal?" that they're the ones who are being obnoxious?

I listen to metal because there are only 2 types of music -metal (which i choose) -bullshit

can black people not headbang?

I love metal because I love the lyrics, the music and the variety it gives. It is also great therapy for the soul.

What an experience 🤣👌🏼Really sad.... I love this video and the way you talked about this topic.

I listen to metal because its fuckin art, other genres like pop or trap or that kind of shit are made to sell, but metal isnt... METAL IS AUTENTIC! And beacuse is so fuckin cool!

I listen to heavy metal music, because I love the aggression in it and it gives me a chance to really vent my unnecessary aggression. The different vocal styles are just fun to check out. Also, I love the lyrical themes.

Savage Master is from my city, excellent band. Very proud they're on MM14.

Hey man I really like your videos!!! Im into Punk mostly and thrash metal! I enjoy heavier rock music generally. Glad to see another awesome youtuber from Ontario :)

I've been listening to metal as far back as I can remember. My dad brought me up with it. It's just something that has always been there. Metalhead forever \m/

If someone ever asked me "why do you listen to metal" I would tell them "because I like to listen to metal" then they would probably ask something moronic like "well what is it you like about metal" then I would have to say "well I often like the writing music" and beyond that I would just tell them "welp that's about it". That is such a dumbass question for a hiring manager to ask.....

I absolutely love metal. It relaxes me and I love the guitar riffs and I find it healing.

This channel is too freaking interesting

Metal gives me this kind of a powerful and divine feeling. I also listen to it while i am in the gym.

He's a interesting guy I like heavy metal I grew up with it and have never stopped but now I'm listening to black metal I find it interesting your videos are keep it up

Wow, this video is great! I get this question all the time!

Metal Music makes you happy and makes you head bang and makes you hyped up a lot

it saved my life it's also therapeutic and it calms me down especially all of the british metal bands good stuff thats for sure love metal

I like metal for the sound the feeling and the intensity btw your dance put a smile on my face ear to ear

Baby giraffe taking first steps, lmaooo!! Great vid as usual bro. I'm all about metal just because a lot of songs resonate through me, both lyrically and also by sound since no other genre does it best. And my favorite group that delivers that awesome mix for me is definitely Avenged Sevenfold \m/ \m/

I listen to metal cause it's my favorite style of music. \m/

I love the mind blistering brutality combined with intricate melodies, that is why melodic black metal is my fav

"Why do you listen to metal?" Why does anybody listen to the music that they listen to? Short answer: personal taste. One should never have to justify their personal tastes to anyone. I listen to metal because I enjoy it. Full stop. It's the same as if you asked that question of someone who listens to pop or country; you'd expect a similar answer. We're all different and have different tastes in things, and for different reasons(which aren't important to anyone else).

Don't even worry about it man I know exactly how you feel when people criticize judge people for what they like

Because it's motivation to put up with life's bulls*** the war cries heard in the music are the war cries anyone who views everyday life as a battle can relate, wheather it's childhood trauma or internal anxiety and stress. Raise your horns and keep fighting the good fight my Metal brothers and sisters!
