Do anger songs help you calm down or get angry?

When I'm angry I turn on some hardcore, it makes me feel better.

anger songs make us angry obviously..........but.....can change ur attitude towards people / in long run......u wil automatically talk to people..... calmly

I usually end up getting even more angry. I find that it is best to not listen to angry songs when I am angry. It's best that I listen to soothing songs such as birds singing or soft and slow classical music instead when I am like that.

For me, it is a mixed bag. Sometimes angry songs influence my anger and other times these songs give me a clear understanding of how harsh life can truly be. People should listen to Eminem with an open mind and a willingness to absorb his unique perspective. Sometimes an angry song can make me disturbingly peaceful and judging from your question, I am not alone in this reaction. Anger always serves to teach a person something if they are willing to listen to the lesson.

It varies for me sometimes. It may just anger or irritate me to hear angry music because I'm so furious. But sometimes, I can choose an angry song and "be angry with it" and shout my heart out. It's a way to relieve anger by shouting it all out...when no one's around of course.:)

funny, but it really calms me down... i actually would love cleaning my house with an anger music in the background. it keeps me up. maybe because my angst were transported to the music itself. =)
