There are plenty of upbeat metal songs. Try power metal.

And also "dark" songs aren't evil at all. Dark songs are dark specifically because they do not glorify the themes they discuss but recognise them as tragic, unpleasant etc.

Metal is just too, hard to listen. Hip-hop and R&B has a smooth and flowing music. I just love it.

Try this song for smooth flowing metal : YouTube - Opeth - Harvest

I'm not saying that metal is for everyone but it is quite varied.

Also Rap and Metal were clearly meant to be together
YouTube - Bulls On Parade - Rage Against The Machine

Well, they were ok. But, its not Dr.Dre

Huh. I find Hatebreed songs to typically be empowering; at least, they have that effect on me. I could be ready to just give up on everything, but then throw in a Hatebreed CD, give it a listen, and feel ready to go out, kick a$s, and give everything another go again... They are near or at the top of my list when it comes to must-haves for listening when I'm going through crappy times.

Dr.Dre will make you all happy.

I think only the younger generation like rap/hip hop.

Not necessarily. My brother is 10 years older than me and he listens to it. I however cannot stand it.

Yes, the most definitely are filled with powerful, empowering lyrics as well. I guess you could call it a positive anger. Overcoming obstacles and obliterating any and all barriers is the best way I can describe their music.
Hatebreed has also had the most violent mosh pits I have been in during a concert.

[Don Penguinoini]

huh, positive anger, thats great.

Yeah.
Hatebreed - Facing What Consumes You
Facing what consumes you is the only way to be free.
Released from those poisonous fears.
Resurrected once and for all.
You want me to hold my tongue
Then why the **** am I here?
You want me to bottle my rage
Cause you never had the heart to say what I say.
My life, my body, my pride.
You have no opinion, no right.
I've built myself nothing like you.
My refusal is my way of life.
Doubt me, Hate me
You're the inspiration I need
My life, my body, my pride
You have no say
My life, my body, my pride
You don't have say
Facing what consumes you is the only way to be free.
Though I'm still far from perfection.
I stay relevant, I'm still vigilante.
I have so much more to say.
I have so much more to fight for.
I've used your lack of inspiration.
As my awakening, its my ability to live forever
By my own command.
To be vehement, remain confident.
Doubt me, Hate me
You're the inspiration I need
You're all the inspiration I need.
Your doubt, it fuels me.
Your hate, it drives me.
The challenge ignites me.
You m
