Gifted Children Find Heavy Metal Comforting

Posted by samzenpus on from the the-soothing-side-of-slayer dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Daily Telegraph is reporting that intelligent teenagers often listen to heavy metal music to cope with the pressures associated with being talented, according to research. Researchers found that, far from being a sign of delinquency and poor academic ability, many adolescent "metalheads" are extremely bright and often use the music to help them deal with the stresses and strains of being gifted social outsiders."

    so... I guess suggesting the Violin-Romance No. 1 by Beethoven for stress relief would be a waste of time here?
