Lesson

Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music[1] that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s.[2] With roots in blues-rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, heavy, guitar-and-drums-centered sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion and fast guitar solos. The All Music Guide states that "of all rock & roll's myriad forms, heavy metal is the most extreme in terms of volume, machismo, and theatricality."[3]

Heavy metal has long had a worldwide following of fans known as "metalheads" or "headbangers". Although early heavy metal bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple attracted large audiences, they were often critically reviled at the time, a status common throughout the history of the genre. In the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence. The New Wave of British Heavy Metal followed in a similar vein, introducing a punk rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed.

In the mid-1980s, pop-infused glam metal became a major commercial force. Underground scenes produced an array of more extreme, aggressive styles such as thrash metal, which broke into the mainstream, and death metal. Since the mid-1990s, styles such as nu metal, which often incorporates elements of funk and hip hop; and metalcore, which blends extreme metal with hardcore punk, have further expanded the definition of the genre

Get the person you love the most
Someone said,”It’s hard to live alone
It’s harder to choose someone to love
but the hardest part of loving
is to admit that you have fallen in love
with someone who can never be yours

Hi! I listen to music not just for pleasure. I think really good music can’t be too much simple. Human nature has much more parts than the simpliest insticts. That is why I prefer to listen to classic music and rock. Sorry, if I’ve made mistakes in my message)))
