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?
