A recent study has found that "extreme" music genres -- including heavy metal, emo, punk and screamo -- may actually help calm angry listeners. Researchers say the results contradict the notion such music is linked to aggression and delinquency.

最近的一项研究发现“极端的音乐类型——包括重金属音乐、情绪摇滚、朋克摇滚和尖叫核(注：一种以尖叫声为特征的情绪摇滚乐)——事实上可能有助于平复听歌人的愤怒情绪。研究者说研究结果否定了这类音乐与攻击性还有犯罪有关的想法。

The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience in May, was conducted at Australia's University of Queensland. Researchers asked 39 extreme-music lovers to describe a frustrating situation involving relationships, finances or work. To measure participants' emotions, researchers monitored their heart rates and asked them how they felt throughout the anger-inducing process. Some participants then sat in silence for 10 minutes, while others spent 10 minutes listening to the extreme song of their choice.

在澳大利亚昆士兰大学进行的这项研究5月份出版在《人类神经科学前沿》，研究人员让39位极端音乐爱好者描述在人际关系、财务或工作上的沮丧状况。为了衡量参与者的情绪，研究人员监控了他们的心率，问他们在生气过程中感觉如何，一些参与者默默地坐了10分钟，同时其他人听了10分钟他们选的极端歌曲。
