I'm wonder, is it possible to form a dependency on metal music? What begs me to inquire such is that it gets the blood flowing, and the adrenaline pumping. Now, "thrill seekers" build an addiction for the same reason, the adrenaline. We know that this release can be habit forming. So, if you extend that logic to metal music, would you consider it an addiction?
And, if we consider it an addiction, is it a harmful one? The negative side-effects can include a short-term increase in rage, damaged braincells, and loss of hearing. What's your take on this?

An addiction is a recurring compulsion by an individual to engage in some specific activity, despite harmful consequences to the individual's health, mental state or social life. So yes, to the extreme, it could be harmful to your health.
On a personal note. For me metal music is just about all I listen to. It has not hurt or harmed me in anyway. I play drums in a band that you might have heard of, and I am around very loud music quite often. I ALWAYS wear ear protection. Aside from that, I really do not no how metal music could hurt a person mentally or physically.
