Why listen to metal music ?!

As clarification for the "pimps" here (the "freaks" might already know for sure):
"Heavy metal (often referred to simply as metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in between 1968 and 1974."

I listen to metal because it's a better way for me to relieve tension than drinking a 6 pack. Turn on a metal album and by the end of it, i'm relaxed and mellow. It's more of a stress reliever than anything.
