Aggressive music can trigger the fight-or-flight response. In fact, this is the purpose of such music, to give people a "rush". The issue is that for those who have anxiety issues, the fight-or-flight response exasperates anxiety levels. Speaking from personal experience, while such music may seem to be "reducing stress", this is only because of the stress hormones that flood into the bloodstream that numb the body (which what the fight-or-flight response is suppose to do).
The best music to listen to if you have anxiety issues is calm, relaxing music. Such music can have a positive influence on anxiety levels.
