This is why us fans of 1980s "hair band" heavy metal are generally successful in in the world decades later, and as a group generally more Republican than one might expect. We tend to be systematic thinkers, not empathetic social justice liberals as one might expect (and there are many exceptions of course, but I'm talking about relative to superficial impressions of where we might land as a group). I know many of my friends who are big 1980s metal fans are some of the best engineers and scientists now.
