Love the helpful caption that went with the print version:

I didn't know Goths listen to Medieval music. Or that French rap isn't hip-hop. Thank you scientists for enlightening me!

HEAVY METAL: unprotected sex
This is ridiculous, what about Manowar's 'Warrior's Shield' condoms

Also, surely these results depend on what the significance of a certain musical genre is in different countries? For example, in Finland trance is typically listened by "chavs" and metal is the most popular genre of them all, so I don't think the linkage to suicide and depression would be as pronounced here.

Some genres of rap music, such as French rap, were linked to more deviant behaviours including theft, violence and drug use, while teens listening to hip-hop were usually less troublesome, Dr Baker said.
This is hardcore comedy. I'm DYING to know what counts as hip-hop.
Essay question: Explain how hip-hop is a genre of rap. Be sure to focus on its less troublesome qualities in your answer.
Essay question: Which genres suggest that your teenage patients are NOT at risk of developing a mental illness or committing suicide? Why?
Essay question: What is pop?

I don't really like any of the genres listed to the point of describing myself as "a X fan"; I guess the closest is jazz. Which suggests I'm a loner. Which is probably right.
