This article states that the lyrics of many recent Pop songs are becoming more narcississtic and selfish, according to research psychologist, Dr Nathan Dewall. The article focuses on rap music and Generation Y, and compares this type of music to what used to be around in the 1980s (eg We Are the World by USA for Africa, the USA's answer to Band Aid).
No heavy metal songs are mentioned, though I am guessing that many metalheads have alot of pride in themselves as a group - how much individualistic 'self love' they posess, I don't know (I'm also guessing that most of the 'narcissism' exists amongst the 'pretty boys' of heavy metal, rather than the 'death metallers')
