Does listening to metal have any negative effects?

I will only add to be cautious of what spiritual evolution may be. Just in case that would be implied, I don't think being spiritually evolved means being 'without anger'. Anger is one of the many emotions we all contain. I would instead think that spiritual evolution is being able to flow with any emotion without repression or blockage. I tend to think that not liking any type of music goes back to having difficulties processing these emotions to begin with. There is beauty to be found within any emotions and any music. I myself have always had trouble with popular music. To me it sounds superficial and boring. But there is no doubt I have trouble with these things in real life too. I could hardly interact on a superficial level most of my life. But the problem isn't superficiality, it's me. There are lots of positive things that comes from being able to interact superficially like being able to create connections very easily and taking yourself lightly and by having a blockage with these things comes repression. It's not as bad as it used to be for me, but it's a good exemple I think. I thought I would add that in case there would be a consensus along the lines of 'it's best not to have anger to be spiritually evolved'. That to me is just brainwash. Emotions are meant to be expressed freely, whatever they are. And being spiritually evolved doesn't mean living in a bubble where everything is sunshine and rainbows and hugs. Although nothing wrong with those too. There is simply no set parameter of what a spiritually evolved being should look like. If you can feel your emotions without repression and feel good about it, then you're on the right track. Otherwise, there is great indicator of what needs to heal.
