Straipsnyje pristatomas Švedijos depresyviojo metalo muzikos kūrėjų ir gerbėjų neformalios organizacijos tyrimas, atliktas 2012 m. įvairiose Švedijos vietovėse. Analizuojamos dvi pagrindinės depresyviojo metalo subkultūros meninės raiškos priemonės - muzika ir tapyba; atskleidžiami psichologiniai subkultūros dalyvių bruožai ir jų subkultūrinio identiteto konstravimas per santykį su kitais metalo muzikos subkultūros nariais bei visuomene, pažymint gilią depresyviojo metalo subkultūros dalyvių socialinę ir kultūrinę atskirtį.

Depresyviojo metalo subkultūros tyrimai padeda suprasti nelengvai prieinamas visuomenės grupes, susiskaidymą, dalies dabarties žmonių egzistencinę krizę.
