Men with higher testosterone tend to listen to heavier genres of music such as metal or hard rock rather than softer genres such as pop, rap or jazz

[Zylk]

Research from Nagasaki University in Japan found in 2018 a biological reason that could explain the musical preferences of each individual.

This is, in fact, the first study to suggest a link between biology and musical preferences: men who prefer musical styles such as rock and heavy metal tend to have higher levels of testosterone than those who prefer genres such as pop and jazz.

Until now, it was well known that many behavioral and appearance traits, including personality, are influenced by testosterone, as is the case with steroid hormones. On this basis, researchers developed the hypothesis that testosterone determines, at least in part, individual differences in musical preference.

Dr. Hirokazu Doi, one of the researchers involved in the study, believes the relationship found has something to do with the effect of this hormone in the brain, particularly in regions such as the amygdala, which is involved in processing emotions.

If these results are confirmed, it is very likely that there are other hormones that play an important role in shaping our musical preferences, in addition to other art forms.

It is true that metal has become a symbol of anarchy for incels, but there are also many high testosterone men who listen to metal, overall for training

 

[khvirgin]

I listened to metal until i was like 16-17 then stopped, probably my t levels went down, brutal

[Growth Plate]

They were probably playing some low T rap

Hahaha, right. Although if you go to the gyms (at least where I live) whenever I ask some guy training they are listening to metal, rock or rap very heavy.

These genres became a symbol for many incels

I'm not playing, i searched on youtube and that was the first thing that came up
i listened to bring the hook yeah it's better but let's not act like it's hardcore hiphop

 

[Moggie]

metal they probably used some metallica song and hard rock I imagine was RATM

now I think about it they might have used GnR for hard rock instead would make more sense

cant find anything for what they actually played, just wondering as hard rock is basically a dead genre and metal has changed a lot over the years, its a diverse genre it could mean anything really

'The participants were 37 Japanese males and 39 females, most in their early 20s, whose testosterone was measured using a saliva sample. They listened to 25 musical extracts, each about 15 seconds long, and rated each on a scale of "Like very much" to "Don't like at all."'

Negative correlation between salivary testosterone concentration and preference for sophisticated music in males

This is the highest T music, asian prettyboys dressed as nazis performing mock executions of partisans while referencing the crystal night and burning of bodies.

The lyrics were so offensive Youtube forced them to change the subtitles

 

[Gengar]

Are you sure? Because metal / rock is what outcasts listen to and they're not known to be high T.

But then again, some people who listen to this stuff do high T things, such as being a shooting up their school, so you may be on to something.

People who listen to metal / rock tend to shoot up their schools (high T trait) whereas people who listen to rap tend to hide during said shootings (low T trait).

OP, I am convinced now.

He just made this up. The study he references has nothing to do with that

Brutal. Still, I think you need high levels of T to go through with a school shooting.

 

[lil truecel]

Metal is literally the most incel genre. Women hate it, and think men who like it are weird. You are only allowed to listen to rap or r&b.

 

[R@m@]

rap is high T

 

[infini]

Hmmm ysss... Just hold that idea.

Metal is the reason subliminal messages are no longer relevant in lyrics. Sorry Biggie. Metal is one of the main reasons hip-hop has stayed relevant all these years by trying out the same pathways of experimentation metal did. I wonder what brought out rappers all of a sudden wanting to sing about Satan? I wonder why they don't do the same toward Lovecraft? Go look at the name of his cat.

Also, there are plenty of women into extreme metal, I don't see the same happening for the underground regions of rap.

Kanye West sampled Burzum.

Whatever dark triad thing you can think of in rap, Varg Vikernes and NSBM multiply its effect by 10. And that guy STILL made masterpieces and fucked around a lot.

Black metal at one point was seen as terrorism. Meanwhile the golden era of hiphop was made for media, despite its greats getting killed by npc's, it was black metal artists that were killing the npc's instead.
