I've once read that music skips the logical part of the brain and goes directly to the emotional one

To the day, there ist still the intense shredder parts of the song "Heroes of our time" from DragonForce, that drives the sentimental tears of joy in my eyes.

But what I enjoy most, are crisp sounding hard and fast beats, like in jungle music or breakcore. I think it's not only the feeling of joy, but also a valve for my inner aggression. I like to turn it loud af, so that the world around vanishes and the only things of presence is this brutal, yet mind soothing sound which I like dancing to.

Popping in from all, not autistic but with my ADHD when listening to any electronic music (recommend some of Degitx if you like metal as well) I will kinda sway back slightly and forth with a huge grin on my face

I really only notice I do it with electronic music which is like #3 favorite behind fantasy adventure and metal
