I have lost an interest in metal. I don't know why, but every time a metal song played on my PS3, I felt terrible, like a chili overload. I have walked away from the path of metal a few months back. I wasn't hard to give up though.
If it makes you feel terrible, which I don't know how it could happen. I would guess you were only into a couple bands that were probably border line hard rock or something. Most people listen to metal because no other genre were able to provide the energy, atmosphere and instrument sophistication that most normal every day rock bands don't provide.
A lot of people get into because it provides a scapegoat out of societies normality. You wanted that either because you hated the norm or you were looked at as weird, a freak etc.. so you embraced it and put up the horns in one hand and your middle finger in the other. Some people grow out of it and move on, but a lot of people such as me discover how effective the music is; and it becomes a drug that you
need your daily fix.
At that point you discovered how Metal and can cope with every emotion imaginably possible, and that is why a lot of us don't listen to much else outside of metal because we simply don't
need anything else because this is our perfect cure. Anger, happiness, melancholy, aggressive, submissive, dominant.. Everything.
A bit of a rant, I know. But when I read your post it came out very pompous. "I'm not really into metal anymore, and because of that I am a better person" That is what I read, and I am fully aware that is not what you wrote but that is how I interrupted it. So I responded.
Dio rocks, may he rest in peace.
