Many parents may regard it as a deafening din, but liking heavy metal may be a sign of intelligence in youngsters.
New research suggests clever teenagers listen to it as a way of coping with the pressures of being talented.
A study of 1000 of the country's brightest adolescents revealed "metal are often extremely bright........

Those who enjoyed Metal (overwhelmingly oldskool and obscure Finnish bands) were undoubtably the brightest. Although brightness does not necessarily equal academic performance, these kids preferred to seek challenges outside schooling such as computer technology.
As a piece of side trivia, did you know that the favorite band of actor Jim Carrey is Cannibal Corpse ?
Death metal is great housecleaning music. It's up there with NPR for best things to do dishes to. And did everyone know that minimalist composer Steve Reich is great to play boggle and scrabble to? It's true.I am not familiar with this group, but the little I just discovered.... not for me. And sad to me for the young ones that are exposed and listen to them.

I understand that Cannibal Corpse is a bit hardcore for most, a lot of metal bands are but in my experience the thing about being in the metal scene is that you are exposed to a huge range of tastes that most people never hear of. Take a look at Apocalyptica or Pain of Salvation, or Ed Alleyne-Johnson. This is some of the most beautiful music that I've heard which I would never have found if not through metal and the variety it encourages.Mickey said:I did not know that.....This is an older article.... and it agrees with what you said about Jim Carrey...
