Self therapy? From an external point of view, something like CBT or desensitization therapy for maybe claustrophobia or fear of guns looks very disturbing, but I'd like to hear an opinion on the participants. I'm not terrified of heights but I'm very nervous of them. After I get up there and the adrenaline dump is over and I'm just doing my task, I get quite a spectacular high at having overcome my fear. So its not paradoxical to me given experience, that I could both be scared of heights yet get addicted to parachute jumping. In a like way I could see people who are not terribly enthused about having to live in an area of urban hand of high rates of hand to hand combat and rape might find getting thru a metal song about the topic, extremely motivating and enjoyable. Corporate mainstream stuff is highly formulaic and self similar and its no surprise it won't speak to all people, making it surprising if something like metal or a zillion other counter cultural things (alt-right, horror movies, etc) didn't exist.
