Adolescents and Heavy Metal Music: From the Mouths of Metalheads.
Arnett, Jeffrey
Youth and Society, v23 n1 p76-98 Sep 1991
Attitudes and characteristics of adolescents who like heavy metal music (HMM) were explored in a study of 52 adolescents (largely White males) who liked HMM and 123 who did not in suburban Atlanta (Georgia). HMM is discussed as a reflection of, rather than a cause of, adolescent alienation. (SLD)
