Muse is technically not a heavy metal band, but from the above picture it appears as if their drummer is having a good time. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said that “music is one of the greatest gifts that God has given us” (Weinstein 2). However, with the negative press the heavy metal genre receives people have forgotten what truly makes music great. Music relieves stress and expresses our emotions while being a form of entertainment. People try to frame heavy music as evil when in reality it is a beneficial force necessary to existence. Despite the negative themes of violence, sex, drugs, and Satan present in the heavy metal genre, the music does not cause one to commit suicide.
