What type of music will damage human ears the most?

Electronic music or metal?

Very loud music?

I don't know but I like both...I guess if I had to make a guess I would say electronic, because sometimes heavy bass even at a low volume can create shock waves or whatever and I think that is more common in electronic music though some sub-genres of metal have pretty heavy bass as well. I mean a bass guitar destroys a guitar amp hence the reason a bass amp is necessary so what does that tell you?

But yeah on one episode of 1000 Ways To Die it mentioned some chick dying in some break dancing competition due to loud hip hop music, a bit of dehydration and over-exerting herself with the break dancing.

Kinda disturbing because I've been drunk at so many metal concerts and of course I mosh some and headbang a lot....but at the same time the bass in metal is not nearly as ridiculous as it is with hip hop and rap.

I adore metal but would never headbang. Don't want to damage that amazing brain of mine.

I have a suspicion mine was damaged at birth, and its fun to rock out listening to metal...of course one does not want to overdo it or well talk about a neck ache from hell and a bit of a tension headache or whatever.

Have you ever listened to Finntroll?

Yes I've enjoyed them ever since I first heard them I remember being amazed something so awesome even existed. I am jealous of my brother because he got to see them in concert and I haven't yet.

Any type of music can damage your ears if it's on loud enough. It's not about the type of music, but about the volume.
Yes, even classical music. I mean, have you heard the brass section before?

My favorite Finntroll song is Drap, especially when the frogs and toads erupt into song.

Dubstep. You can tell someone's a dubstep fan if there's dried-up blood in his ears and he can't hear a thing you say.

This is true - very much. A symphony hurts more than metal when played at a certain comparable volume.

HDM love the hat.

Dubstep.

Dubstep?

Oh you mean DERPSTEP:

It goes like "DERPY DERP DERP DERP DERP..."

Yeah, that stuff doesn't only cause ear damage, but also causes heavy retardation.

Why thankyou.

My answer is any music that is played loud enough.

Loud ambient will do more damage than quiet brostep any day.

Hey, I listen to dubstep too, just not the derpy stuff that most people like.
