Heavy metal music's violent and artificial emotions, raging vocals, insistent rhythmic pounding, loud tortured guitar sounds, heavy bass and drums, and circus-like showmanship are not designed to appeal to certain listeners. Metal's roots are in the counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s which were a time of social unrest and upheaval. Metal is marketed as an outlet for yoked rebellion.
