I don't know about you, but I find when I listen to music and I hear about how someone wants to stab his friend in the eye because he happened to be chatting with his girlfriend, I wonder how society has stooped this low.
I understand. There's a lot of anger going around. It's completely natural to feel angry every once in a while. But to write a song about how murder and violence somehow makes the 'burning darkness within' go away is just kind of depressing. I have off days as well, but I eventually get over it. I don't mull over how I've fallen into the void and can't get out.
I suppose, for a lot of people, this music helps them because it shows that someone understands the pain they're going through. The music thunders and roars and hates as much as they do.
Strange, how this kind of music has actually become a part of today's society. Most people don't even blink when they hear the hatred and violence, and those who do have a problem with it are scornfully ignored.
It's not entirely the main factor, but it's my guess that this music is partially why some teenagers go out and vandalize cars or beat up people in the street. With such anger going around, its no wonder that so many are influenced and want to take out that fury by terrifying citizens and breaking things.
There are support groups for those 'vagrants' of society, but does it help that we categorize those who made a few mistakes? If I were in that position and I was forever labelled Trouble and a misfit, I'd be pretty angry. It isn't fair that we so poorly judge those who just want a little peace of mind and of heart.
Violent music isn't going to stop anytime soon, but at least we can make the effort to try and understand those who are going through the 'void' instead of treating them like the dirt beneath our feet.
