Socio-Cultural Environment

The 2nd world war and the cold war made people think different. People, specially teens, started thinking new ways to change the world, to promote peace and to fight against ambition. Hippies appeared but rapidly changed their ideas and started using drugs and alcohol. Teens, who didn´t like their current situation started creating heavy sounds and hard lyrics to express what they thought. 
This front shows how heavy metal bands express
their ideas.
