It's crazy how many metal bands are pieces of shit and then how simultaneously so many are so accepting and defend humanity with their actions.
You get good and bad apples in every genre of music.
I moreso meant from the metal culture itself. Each genre has inflections that create that like-minded sense of community, so for a community that loves darkness, twistedness, and a wide range of what some consider evil, I find it very funny how the majority of metal, despite this darkness, is often very humorous, loving, and joyful, all while the bands name is Cannibal Corpse or something like that.
Meanwhile you've got nonces like Lost Prophets who end up living up to that evilness more than people realized.
So I was coming at it from the cultural lens, with each genre having a different interaction of "bad apples". In rap we're seeing another example right now, in rock it's been happening since forever from Zeppelin to the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Basically I was laughing at the irony of true evil in a metal band. Because true evil exists in all musicians, country, rap, rock, but because of the affiliation metal has with evilness, you would think metalheads would be predisposed to being worse about it. The reality is just the opposite, so it's funny.
Yeah it’s like the kink & BDSM community. I’m not exactly involved in it, but every time I interact with them they are some of the kindest, most accepting people around, a really lovely community compared to the perception and what goes on behind closed doors.
That's a really good analogy lol!
