Explanation:

My inspiration is metal music and the views society has on the genre and people who listen to it. Both types of music have helped me get through some tough times throughout my life, including me coming out and moving to Jersey. However they aren’t a popular genre of music as many people can only hear screaming and not the meaning of the songs and lyrics.

Music has allowed me to express myself and meet new people who I can now call some of my closest friends. Many people think of metal and think of aggression and anger; most of the songs are about the artist’s friends, family, partners or even their views on society and the way we are told what is and isn’t normal/ correct.
