“…The common misbelief that heavy metal is linked to Satanism in society may also contribute to this perception (Whitaker, 2003). The noisy sound of heavy metal and the distinctive black clothing of the musicians and fans may also underlie the general lack of acceptance of heavy metal by families (Ekinci, Bez, Topcuoglu, & Nurmedow, 2011; LeVine, 2008; Whitaker, 2003). In concordance with these assumptions, the most commonly reported parental problems in the present study among adolescents with a heavy metal preference were ideas of not being understood by their families and being criticized for their general outlook.…”

“…The social places playing these music genres must be considered in the interpretation of the link between alcohol use and certain music genres. Alcohol consumption is frequent at discos and heavy metal bars (Ekinci et al, 2011; Kuntsche, Kuendig, & Gmel, 2008). According to the findings of the present study, smoking and drug use do not differ according to adolescents’ music preferences.…”

We investigated the association of music preferences with depressive symptoms among high school students in Istanbul; 10th-, 11th- and 12th-grade students (N = 1226) were chosen for the study. The Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI) and a detailed, semi-structured, self-report inquiry assessing music preferences and various psychosocial variables were administered to the students. Adolescents reporting heavy metal music and arabesque music in their playlists had significantly higher CDI total scores compared to adolescents who did not report these genres in their playlists. The percentage of students with problematic parent relations was highest for those with preferences for heavy metal music. Alcohol use was highest among students with preferences for dance/hip-hop music, followed by those with preferences for heavy metal. Negative thoughts and feelings when listening to music were related to higher CDI scores regardless of the favourite music genre. Future studies are needed to clarify the relationship between music preferences and specific psychopathologies in adolescents.
