i think if it makes you feel better then it's good for you. it might resonate and help express and process the emotions that it brings up in you. if it brings you down, then it wouldn't be good for you. all depends on your state at the given time. i'm not into metal but i listen to hip hop beats like phonk and sometimes it's energizing, fun, and gives a sense of empowerment. other times i'm not in the mood and want something lighter and in those cases it would have the effect of bringing me down. it also varies greatly between songs because some songs in a genre have a totally different energy to other songs in the same genre.
i used to listen to rap/hip hop but at a certain stage, i just couldn't stand the lyrics anymore. the lyrics are so often focused on sex and violence and it just lowers my consciousness and energy and sometimes grosses me out. i also became aware that the lyrics would have a subconscious effect even if i wasn't listening closely to the lyrics. this is why i've moved to instrumental hip hop.
this is a pretty "metal" phonk song: https://soundcloud.com/iamevil97/talking-sh*t (you have to replace the * with an "i" cause the forum won't let me post the bad word!)
