Can slow songs be a banger?
My understanding of the word banger is it's reserved for good songs. There are many good slow songs as well, but the word banger seems to imply something more intense and bombastic. So, is it appropriate to describe slow songs as a banger?

No. A "headbanger" is fast and furious.
Counterpoint: You can headbang to Black Sabbath's Iron Man and it's not fast and furious
Banger isn't really short for headbanger, though they may have been related at one point. A song doesn't have to be loud and/or aggressive to be a banger.
Hogwash
Good example! There was a time when "hogwash" literally meant the slop fed to pigs, then it meant cheap liquor, and eventually bad writing. These days it means "BS" and you'd be ridiculous to pretend that "only" the original definition had any meaning.
