Metal gives me chills....
Am I the only one that gets chills when I hear that heavy ♥♥♥ riff kick in? Or that completely brutal growl that gives little girls nightmares? Every time I try to show a friend some really heavy stuff they just imediately yank the earbud out and say they hate it, not even really listening to it... I suppose it's an aquired taste, although I've been listening to metal since I was a child and it's allways given me chills. Especially Metallica, Megadeath, Pantera etc. Is anyone else the same way, or have similar puss friends?

Those were just the bands I mentioned that gave me chills as a child, I currently listen to extreme metal like Whitechaple, Cannibal Corpse, Decapitated, Cattle Decapitation, Dying Fetus, Nile and MANY more... My favorite genres are Brutal Death Metal, Deathcore, Melodic Death Metal, Thrash Metal, and anything with a good groove you can headbang too. An example would be: Scourge of Iron by Canniabal Corpse or Time to dominate by Illdesposed.

Sorry, I just get a bit defensive when people try and judge me, and the music I'm passionate about. I can see that wasn't you intention
Any and all music can cause this effect in people.

For a really intersting read on just how your brain processes music, read Music, The Brain and Ecstasy.

The effect has nothing to do with genre or style. It's simply conditioning. You've conditioned yourself to enjoy particular frequencies or combinations of frequencies or changes in pitch or the like, and the more familiar you are with a particular combination the more your brain will begin to anticipate the pleasurable feeling they give you, leading to the hairs that stand up on the back of my neck when Stevie Ray hits those lovely wah-bends on The Sky is Crying.
It's not that your friends are pu**ies or anything, it's just that they have their own taste in music.

Some rappers (the good ones) can sing about killing and violence and stuff just as well as a Metal singer can and still sound badass.

Some people just don't like heavy noises and vocals. Personally, I love it. I'm more of a Power Metal guy out of the whole genre though but metal was my first musical genre I got into and now I also listen to other stuff like futurisitc sounding stuff (trance/dance, psybient, synthwave), traditonal East Asian music and video game OST's etc. amoung other things.
Personally, I don't know how people can stick to one genre.

I don't just listen to metal. I like 80s-90s rap music like Ice Cube, NWA, Snoop, Dr. dre, and early Eminem. Also Fallout kinda made me love 40s-50s pop/blues stuff XD

Yeah, I hear you. I never said you yourself, but I mean others who like only one genre and treat the rest as crap. :P It's nice to have more than one taste in someting. :P

Megadeth*

As far i can respect any taste, you have to know if you like stuff like that because you find it to be really good or just to make the "Brutal" persona for people. Most teens can use this kind of ♥♥♥♥ to hide their insecurities and stuff. So just be true to yourself in the way lol

I'm not the extreme metal kind of guy, i'm far more into power,folk,speed, nwobhm or the classics. But i can dig something coming this way sometimes.

Most thrash metal is about being angry with something, which is not really what i'm searching in music. But there's stuff like Tankard or Alestorm, the happy party kind of thrash, that i find very good. I can listen something or another from Megadeth, Pantera or Metallica as well. But Death/Doom/Black stuff is too cheesy for me most of the time hauhauah

Anyway, "metal" is just too much completely different genres, i always feel the term used just for the extreme, "look me i'm edgy and evil" kind of stereotype than it gets boring to talk about in forums sometimes lol

I crap my pants. We're all different.
After listening to The Ride Majestic, Soilwork owed me a pair of clean underwear. And a pair of adult diapers.
