Thank you for opening the thread Monica and Well said Aya 
In music I like the animal/angel split. I like music that reflects both the animalistic as well as the the angelic nature of man. The opera chick versus the grunting hunchback in metal is a typical stereo type that falls well with me. Sort of like the beauty versus the beast. But rap music has this too to a level. Although Rap is much more busy with the act of justifying itself compared to metal. I don't feel there is good or evil in any of it. It's just what it is.
I think we must personally decide what is acceptable and what not. Music about agression isn't necisarily bad music. There's all kind of art focussing on agression. You'd have to shut down many museums if this were wrong. Man's basic tendency in coping with things is by writing poems, songs and making drawings about it.
