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.
@Silverzone: Converge is a good band, I reckon, but not quite my cup of tea inside the mathmetal genre. Sometimes it can become repetitive and tiresome to me.
@Thatman: Five Finger Death Punch and In this Moment are really cool bands to chill out a little. First In this Moment album is great and I used listen to it allot.
As of lately, I've been listening to allot of technical/mathmetal bands:
(masterpiece)
(epic)
(most random band ever, they're Danger in the Manger music video is the definition of random).
