Adam Rafalovich’s article ‘Broken and Becoming God Sized: Contemporary Metal Music and Masculine Individualism’ discusses masculine identity in metal through lyrics of contemporary metal artists. With examples from some of the most popular artists from the 1990s and 2000s, Rafalovich argues his point by looking at reasons why young males, who represent a large percentage of the metal audience, could be attracted to such lyrics. Is the article applicable as a general statement, or do other articles and lyrical examples given show flaws within Rafalovich’s article?
