On the one hand, there's a lot of great metal, it's obviously not all garbage.
On the other hand, I love winding up those people who get all bent out of shape about how one or more of those genes "isn't real metal" so I kinda still appreciate the post lol.
What I've noticed is anyone who doesn't listen to extreme music calls it all death metal. It can be straight up hardcore punk but to them it's "death metal".
I love how the left is all genres of metal except at the end with the random inclusion of crust punk. You can tell the OOP really liked the genre and wanted to include it in his maymay
Metal people are always like "nooo it's not all annoying noise and throaty growling, you just have to listen to X" and then X is all annoying noise and throaty growling.
I mean if you don't like metal then don't listen to it but metal has as much sub genres as the rest of the music has genres. Basically if you can think of sth there is probably a metal Version of it(idk why though)
If you want to upset metal heads then say you like Babymetal. Those japanese are crazy
but metal has as much sub genres as the rest of the music has genres.
That's because every metal band suffers from the delusion that their sound is novel and genre defining, when more likely, it's just a tiny variation on annoying noise and throaty growling.
Why what are you drinking? — Oh it’s a Cabernet Sauvignon, 2003, with chestnut hints it’s delicious. — Me: it’s just moldy grape Juice. — no but you have to pay attention to the small nuances in the… oh.
I never understood people that like metal. Some people are fascinated by this band called meshuggah and it's juste impressive body coordination by following algorithmic rules that end up sounding like random noise.
The meaningless screaming is garbage. I hate vocals and screeching at the microphone isn't better.
I personally dislike Meshugga because I don't care for gutteral screaming, but even my drunk ass isn't arrogant enough to call it garbage just because it's not to my taste.
I hope you realize you sound like a boomer, I've literally heard my boomer mother make the same argument about different bands I listen to. If we were having this conversation a couple decades, I would expect to hear something like "Goddamn kids with their hip hop, saggy pants, and loud music"
If i sound like a bommers for not understanding how anyone can like noise as music so be it. I listen to all kind of music. Even Mongolian throat singing is somewhat melodic while metal sounds to me like noise.
I always equate it to spicy food. It's painful and unpleasant, but you can't stop going back for more. It's a sort of weird catharsis that follows, as well.
