Few forms of music elicit such strong reactions as does heavy metal. Embraced by millions
of fans, it has also attracted a chorus of critics, who have denounced it as a corrupter
of youth--even blamed it for tragedies like the murders at Columbine. Deena Weinstein
argues that these fears stem from a deep misunderstanding of the energetic, rebellious
culture of metal, which she analyzes, explains, and defends. She interprets all aspects
of the metal world--the music and its makers, its fans, its dress code, its lyrics--and
in the process unravels the myths, misconceptions, and truths about an irreverent
subculture that has endured and evolved for twenty years
