Rock & Pop...where do YOU stand?!


Question: Rock & Pop!.!.!.where do YOU stand!?
A few days ago, there was a fast food question posted here!. Someone mentioned animal cruelty in their answer!. Here's the paradox: How can you listen to and enjoy the violence and and aggression in Black Metal and still manage to care about animal cruelty!? Is cruelty to animals somehow more heinous than what people do to each other, or am I missing the point!?

Rule: No Thumbs downs for ANY opinion Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Okay!.
Music isn't a way of life!. Music doesn't define your beliefs!.
Just because I enjoy listening to black metal doesn't mean I'm going to go kick my dog around!. And I don't and many people don't listen to BM (black metal) for the violence!.
That's almost like saying just because I enjoy hunting means that I like to shoot every animal I see!.
No, I'm not an animal rights activist, or PETA, or whatever!. But it doesn't mean that I'm FOR people ruthlessly kicking their dogs, shooting their cats, etc!.
And with your point about animal cruelty being of more importance than the sick things people do to others, I don't think it's right!. I think we should punish the twisted and sick persons who harm others, before we punish (if at all) the people who shot a pitbull because it wouldn't stop invading their property!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Haha man you miss the entire point of aggressive music!. It's a way of expressing anger and getting it out of your system!. And that catharsis can really make you a better person, and more caring towards your fellow beings!. Only idiot druggies think it's about violence!. Check out this song: http://www!.youtube!.com/watch!?v=38yl0_r6a!.!.!.

uber kickass, but with a positive message about vegetarianism and veganism!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Music doesn't have anything to do with what kind of person you are!. It can affect your mood, but listening to aggressive music like black metal doesn't make you a more violent person!. That's actually how I deal with anger sometimes!. I listen to aggressive music so I don't have to take out my anger on a person or animal who doesn't deserve it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

umm, your mind set is kind of like NARROW!. whoever said that all metal fans listen to metal for the aggression and “violence”!? that’s ridicules I know people that are the most caring, calm, cool and collective individuals I have ever met, just because you like a certain kind of music with an aggression in it that doesn’t mean that you are!. So there could be several metal fans/listeners out there that care exclusively for the issue of animal cruelty, I myself do not like people that are cruel to animals but I don’t care enough to become an activist I have another area that I am concerned with because PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

some songs may mention suicide or animal cruelty or any thing like that but its not the way we live, we enjoy the music, the beat and the lyrics but i would never hurt an animal or try to kill myself 4 example!.
But i admit its not good 4 songs to advertise suicide or abuse (animal, verbal!.!.!.etc!.!.!. ) and i think lyrics should b the other way around !.!.!.support good decisions and promote animal love or self love!.

Listen To Daddy's Girl by the the Scorpions that tries to let ppl know more about child abuse
and Heroes Don't Cry by the Scorpions as well talks about how suicide is not an answer to someones depression!.

music may have a bad influence or a good one!. i really like ur Question!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

uh!?!.!.!.are you serious!?!?!?

So if you listen to certain hip-hop/rap that talks about gangbangin' or whatever does that mean you're promoting gang violence or if you listen to heavily political punk rock does that mean you have to go around forcing your politics on other people!. etc;

the music you listen to isn't who you are unless you choose for it to be!.

I think rock and animal cruelty have nothing to do w/t each other!. for example, My Chemical Romance is a punck rock band, and they were the kids that in high school when it was time to disect frogs were the ones to let there frog go and say it jumped away on accident!. So don't belive everything you hear!. Most of it is just made up bull anyways!.

I hope I do not misunderstand your Question, because Animal Cruelty is a Major Issue for me and I do NOT belong to PETA - because a Majority of Their Contributions (65%) - to Administrative Overhead!.

Before I get to the "Black Metal" or Any Musical Reference -- May I give you a quick background !?

I was part of a Federally Funded group, sent to a Particular "American Territory" (or Protectorate - I will not mention the Country, so as to NOT offend anyone)

The Capital City was grossly overpopulated with Canines – and our Task was to Euthanize, as many as possible!. Believe me, it was a blessing for these poor animals – some of them who saw what we did to other Dogs, actually walked-up to us (as if they knew !!) – I don’t know, but it was incredible

While there, we stayed in our Car, but Witnessed SO MANY Dogs getting BEAT, just for Fun!. !!

I was only an assistant, but our VET finally got out of the Car to stop this one beating and He got beat so bad, we had to take him to a Hospital!.

That Night – I Got Drunker than I have ever Been in My Life – and we played ANY MUSIC we could Find, as Loud as I COULD !!

MY POINT –

I don’t particularly know much about Death Metal (which is just a Term, btw) – but I understand how People can Live in a World of Suffering & Cruelty and Turn to Whatever Music helps them make it through the Day!.
!.
Did I miss your Point !?!?

Rangers Lead The Way Brother! I was a Sniper for the 1/75th Myself!.

Personally I deplore cruelty to Animals but unjustified violence against Your fellowman is to My mind much more deplorable!.

I have several vegan Friends I have met on here and I understand their points of view but don't always agree!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I love violent video games, movies, and music, but I do know the difference between reality and fantasy!. I for one can't even hunt because I cannot kill an animal!. This doesn't mean that I am against eating meat, I just cannot do the deed!. Actually I love aggressive entertainment to wind down and relax!. Www@Enter-QA@Com

Some people just like certain music, even if it is "a litte bit dark than the norm!."

I used to listen to a lot of Slayer and death metal (still do) but I did it cause I liked the guitar work in it!. But now I listen to the lyrics as well!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't think the music you listen to should really decide where you stand on important issues, maybe the other way around, though!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Cant say that im a huge fan of anything death metal, but i feel some animals should be treated with respect, and humanely!. We have toi eat so i cant say much for cows or chickens!. I like dogs though!Www@Enter-QA@Com

Listening to gory songs and watching gory movies and tortures and the likes doesn't mean enjoying doing the actual thing!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Animal cruelty is SICK AND DEPRAVED!!Www@Enter-QA@Com

Wow that doesn't make any sense at all!. It's just music and you can't compare a style of music to something like being vegetarian!.

Edit: I'm not a vegetarian though!. I love meat!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

as a vegetarian and a music fan, i can with all authority say that whoever said that knows nothing of either one!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It's just music, not a way of life!.

Maybe for some, but surely not for all!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

i don't have much to say except i don't see any connection between the two!. but um thats a very good question!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Sex and drugs and rock n roll!! (lol)

EDIT - Because it's a way to let those kind of feeelings out without actually hurting anyone!.

Sometimes you just feel crazy, or angry!.!.!.or stupid!.!.!.!.music is a good way to cope with many aspects of life!.

I used to see people throw rocks at the ducks at the lake!.!.!.so I started throwing rocks at them!.!.!.!.!.just so they could see what it's like!.!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Yes, I do think you've missed the point!. Black Metal doesn't tell you to go do bad things and commit crimes!. It's just music, like someone above me said!. It's a way to chanel your anger!. Instead of giving vent to it, you can express it in a passific way!.
I listen to Metal and I think modern pop music is THE crime against humanity, but it doesn't mean I'm a criminal!. Metal music is not just some brainless noise like most people think!. It says something, you know!. Have you listened to hop hop and rap nowadays!? They use nothing but nasty words I'd rather not repeat and their music videos are just obsene! I can't imagine NOT listening to it!. I'd probably explode trying to supress all my anger!. I'm already not the nicest person in the world, but without a healthy way of getting rid of most of my anger, I'd have to become one of those violent havok-reekers you so detest!.
I've never hurt a fly!.

Ok, maybe I have, but who hasn't!? They're so darn annoying!Www@Enter-QA@Com

I love pop music! I listen to Madonna, Britney Spears, and Christina Agularia! I think that animal cruelty and rock music have nothing to do with each other! Why beleive that people who listen to rock music dont care about animals! I beleive that you shouldnt judge those by the type of music they listen to but you should judge them by the type of person they are!Www@Enter-QA@Com
