Some researchers and health professionals have suggested that
the electronic distortion used by many rock bands might be a factor, in addition to the
common use of anapestic rhythms (persistently syncopated, with two short beats, a long beat, then a pause)."
"Electronic distortion" is harmful? Come on...we are talking *acoustic waves* here. I'd like to see some evidence backing this up. And like I said, they fail to define "rock". The examples they provide do not fall into any of the rock categories I know.
