Why are excessively loud genres such as metal or rap associated with high testosterone ?

I have no clue, most metalheads are some of the most low-test betas I have ever seen.

I saw Megadeth live once, and I swear it raised my testosterone.
I was blown away by their performance.

I guess you americans arent worthless at everything.

they are loud and in nature loud noises are used to scare off others and to show dominance, something that males usually do
metal has grunt, low pitched, aggressive noises, a bit like the ones used by animals (usually males) to scare off others and show dominance
rap is made mostly by idiots who, like animals, change their voice to make it sound more aggressive and deep, much like animals trying to scare off others or show dominance

I think you gotta be a bit dense not to find a link between the two

>americans
>worthless
not saying they're great or that other countries arent, but the contribution to music brought by the united states is immense, possibly the best thing ever to come out of it along with

>loud
>rap
Wat?

And Mark Rippetoe.

This, coming from a metalhead. I used to just spend my free time finding obscure bands and browsing /metal/. Then i spoke to a girl and realised how autistic i acted and reqlised i needed to get better if i want a chance, so i started visiting /fit/, hit the gym, started taking cold showers (im down with the flu now so that has to go out the window until i recover), quit porn entirely, only fap about once a week, and reading non-fiction books. Metal is now a weapon i use for motivation and working out. Im actually passing uni and beginning to try and talk to people now which is great.

I'm seeing them in August. Hope they don't croak by then, they're getting old.

No worries bro, I saw them last year in norway and they were fucking godlike.

Mustaines voice is unbearable but if you can get past it the musicianship is as good as always

cuz its not some pussy low test indie white people vampire weekend shit about how their gf cucked them. real death metal, not pussy metal like megadeth, is straight brutal high test drums and bass guitar and angry lyrics. whereas high test rap is straight bass and lyrics on shooting and killing and cucking betas out of their bitches

It's associated with low testosterone. Betas listen to it because it drowns the voice inside their head, since they lack any decent introspective abilities or mental schemas. Often, people will do it to drown their own negative thoughts.

i listen to almost everything; but when i work out, its almost exclusively metal. idk why. i think it might be a combination of getting amped and being distracted from how hard a lift might be. although for some reason, it has to be hip hop for deadlifts. kinda weird imo

so you telling me that people that listen to bring me the horizon have higher testosterone?

Tbh I think that this depends on band to band. Just look at "Dream Theater", if you go to their concert you will mostly find grown up men, with everyone looking like a Dad or about to become one. If you go to a Bring me the horizon concert, you will find mostly emo girls and probably the most low testo males I've ever seen. If you go to a Amon Amarth concert, you will find mostly betas and cringy people.

So yeah, maybe you are right.

>rap
>not loud

theres a fucking rap song that's called "turn it down for what?"

Det er der jeg skal se dem og ;)))
Var det Sentrum scene? Selger de oreplugger der?

Köp riktiga pluggar din snåla norrbagge

Lel in Amerifat perhaps. In europoor real men listen to metal.

Its talking about getting fucked up... Not actual volume

The edgier the better. I like debauchery.

Metal is low test beta garbage.
Synthwave is for high test alpha patricians.

god damn these covers are high elo

Because it amps you up and is aggressive and loud.

- t. nu-male

nah I'm just kidding. Interesting to see another /meal/fag on /fit/.

Nei, Tons of Rock i Halden.
De selger sikkert oreplugger:)

Because it's music for outcasts. Which usually means male dominated since women tend to put much more value on fitting in.

It's not just metal, although I see a ton of beta af dudes in concerts and festivals.
Overall, music that employs some scales more often than others, tends to attract men over women, and the other way 'round.
Minor and it's variations (pentatonic, harmonic, etc.) tend to be preferred by men, especially the pentatonic one. It's perceived as more aggressive due to the longer space in intervals unlike full scales which have softer progressions (in pop).
Hip Hop/Rap dunno how you call it, also uses minor pentatonic a lot.
Metal that uses stuff beyond pentatonic (say, full minor, harmonic, etc.) tends to use then intervals which are heavier sounding.
Even jazz shows this. The jazz that men tend to like, uses progressions and chords built from intervals that are more minimalist (as weird as this sounds) or "aggressive/sad".

>metal has grunt, low pitched, aggressive noises, a bit like the ones used by animals (usually males) to scare off others and show dominance

New metal mostly. If you listen to older stuff (judas priest, black sabbath, mötley crue, ac/dc) it tends to be rather high pitch.

Excellent taste my friend, really reminds me of 80s horror movies

Before guitarists started drop tuning 2 steps down for every song...

C standard is patrician.

The real shit sounds heavy in standard tuning.

While I play in standard, and I love bands that play in standard, I gotta say that C is great all around, those low power chords or just playing low down there sounds nasty, it's great, at least as a guitarist I love that tuning. Doesn't even have to be metal, works for other shit too.

There's also Bathory, Venom, Sodom, Hellhammer, Tormentor, Celtic Frost, Possessed, Holocausto, Morbid Saint etc.
Your point being?

deathcore is metal for alphas, prove me wrong

>he doesn't listen to CCR greatest hits while lifting

>I'm also norsk!!! :DD
For fucks sake guys, keep it in English. You're seriously worse than tacospeakers

Loud isn't the right term to use. Visceral is more fitting. And once you realize that these forms of music are more visceral than most, then it makes complete sense why they are associated with high testosterone due to the energetic quality associated with both.

Seeing them tonight with Meshuggah, was only really interested in Meshuggah as I wasn't sure how good of a show Megadeth puts on these days but now I'm looking forward to seeing how Megadeth does too, thanks

I saw him at the beginning of the tour last year and he actually sounded alright. His voice goes really quickly now

Unnskyld :(

This is a great thread.

i saw megadeth and slayer live when i was 15, megadeth are fucking boring imo

Dave Mustaine used to do a lot of bad shows back in the day because he'd come on stage completely drunk.

You're already a faggot to begin with..

i wonder what kind of person is behind this post...

>Sabbath
>high pitch
Literally the only thing high about Sabbath is Ozzy's voice but he can't sing for shit anyway and was definitely the weakest link sonically. I mean we're talking about the guys that gave birth to all the memestoner bands.

>if you go to a Bring me the horizon concert, you will find mostly emo girls
Guess I'm going to a Bring Me The Horizon concert now, emo girls are my fetish
