  • Death metal is supposed to make you feel pumped (my opinion)! And the same with violent games!! XD lol

  • I don't play video games but I do listen to metal music. Especially death metal and goregrind. The heavier the metal music is the better! I don't know what to say but the fact that you don't feel any emotion while listening to the music and playing violent video games can be a good thing, I guess. Just be happy they don't make you want to go out and kill someone! I feel no emotions while listening to my metal music, no negative ones that is. The music makes me calmer after a few minutes.

  • I cant really tell on this one.i think it just depends on the person you are. I mean. When i watch something violent, i laugh..... and cheer.... and when i hear heavy metal, i usually listen to one song and stop listening to it because i usualky get tired from it. :P

  • Hiya,

    I never used to think it did but it does, esp. if you do both a lot. If it makes you depressed, why bother??

  • Yes that is normal, there have been studirs. On how music affects our emotions as well as violent video games. The studies find that those who listen/play to this are more likely to harm oneself or others, now this isnt directly from it but it does influence people.

  • Yes. Your putting all this ugly stuff in your mind. Naturally it does so.

  • If it makes you feel depressed, why do it? Being (truly) depressed is a horrible feeling so... Anyway, metal and video games combined gives me a powerful shot of energy and rage release!

  • I do both those things, and while I don't show emotions much, that has nothing to do with the music that I listen to or the games that I play. Lots of people don't show their emotions much, and it never has anything to do with what music or games you like.
