Background of the Survey

Throughout studying and defining heavy metal music as music but it is much more than music, there is much more that I’m curious about. Critics thought it was unsophisticated music for unsophisticated people. One news article writer went as far as calling it sick, repulsive, horrible, and dangerous. They feared it was a vessel for the devil and had created a satanic epidemic among teenagers. To top all of that, the fans of heavy metal were considered lowlifes, dead-end kids, and the bane of society.

All of these misconceptions are wrong. I’ll prove that there is significance about heavy metal music. It is also a “comfort for the bright child.” I must assess the opinion of other people on how they see and understand this kind of music and culture.

The content of my survey is random, starting from: Do you like heavy metal? Is long hair cool? Does heavy metal corrupt the youth? What are the most common misconceptions people -- especially parents -- seem to have about heavy metal music? Does Heavy Metal Music Promote Negative Attitudes Toward Women?Does Listening to Heavy Metal Music Impact Academic Achievement?
Is there anything this survey has not addressed that you feel is important to mention about your experience with heavy metal, or about heavy metal in general?

It should be clear to me how others, especially people who are against and not aware of this music.

Majority of the answers, I think, most of them are negative. So, let it be. It depends.
