Research shows that certain music types share a large degree of overlap in brain activity with other dopamine releasing activies like sex, eating and cocaine use.

Similar research indicates that substance abuse and habitually listening to loud music are associated.

Is playing metal (or other fast paced music) at extreme volume essentially the equivalent to consuming narcotics?

Ya well I read it years ago and I only remember that I thought it was interesting, things like war anthems,marching bands heartbeat rate bpm’s. Your post reminded me of it and I would think (without knowing) that music has a psychological effect.and would presume drugs have a psychological effect plus the title of the book would suggest ya music is drug like or euphoria inducing. Tl/dr No problem
