I listened to hair bands (Motley Crue, Poison, Warrant) at that age so I certainly can't judge anyone!

What kind of music degrees? What exactly do you mean by aesthetic reactions?

Discovering Metallica (this was when the black album came out, so they were suddenly everywhere) and getting into their previous 4, now classic, albums definitely filled a need in me when I was a teen.

Interesting, never heard of them. Was there a specific song that stands out?

What a beautiful description of those beautiful moments! 💗 I wish I had tried theater. I think it can really help kids to develop social and communication skills, as well as confidence.
