Are these guys juggalos?

Let's be real most metal blows. And all your different types of cores is just so you can collect more and claim this growly metal is better than that.
Tool fucking sucks
TRVE KVLT
Hell, they'll give you this look even when you say you like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and of all bands - Motorhead.
People have particular subgenres of taste, but who the hell decided at one point that we should evaluate what is metal and what isn't?
I have given bands like Cannibal Corpse, Death and sprinkles of other Death/Black metal bands honest tries. To me it's all just noise and the vocalist guarantees me that I will not like them because it's just belching and barking lyrics.
Foe me it's the opposite. I absolutely love cannibal corps. I love cannabis corpse even more. I always feel like these bands make tge music tgey really want and not what people want to hear. There is something honest about the music. If you don't like it you fon't like it, obviously. Maiden acdc and megadeth is really boring to me. It's not that it's bad or i don't like it, it's more that i think: i could listen to worm sheppard or job for a cowboy instead. One of my favourite bands is all shall perish, i liked them before ever seeing them live, but when i saw them i truly realised that these are massive music nerds. His vocal range is crazy, because i assumed they had two singers, the bassist and guitarist seem incredibly talented, and i think they could be really successful doing "good music" but that's what they do and enjoy and i appreciate that a lot.
"who who"
True metal fans don't gatekeep music.
Gotta say, IMO this has nothing to do with being a [insert genre] fan at all. It's just about not being a pompous, pretentious asshole. 😄 Let people like what they like! But I still have my opinions about what level of musicality and interesting aspects there need to be in the music I listen too. Again, the music ->I<- listen to. Other people can definitely listen to bland mainstream garbage if they want to. 😅 Not all mainstream music is garbage of course, some of it is popular because it's actually good, so not all awesome music is obscure/indie/whatever. 👍
Love me some Megadeth

My mom partied with Megadeth. I should get a DNA test..
lol tell my why I read “mental health fans” I’m too tired for this, I’m going to bed!
90s demo tapes hit different though. The crustiness really enhances the overall atmosphere of certain genres.
Ysigim - Ain Soph Or (1994) is a personal favorite. They did a digital rerelease recently and it's too clean, I don't like it.
Absolutely! There are many remasters nowadays, which always feel too clean to me, too.
My personal recommendation: Tyrant - Rise of the Fallen (1998)
Guys, I think I found the guy in the meme
Yes and I will judge anyone who doesn't recommend me their favorite demo tape
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Majak/The_Claws_of_the_Red_Crown/1099606 Not my favourite music, but the tape came with a dead wasp wrapped in a little piece of paper. 😁 Also it’s limited to 60 copies.
Just looked it up on YouTube and someone in the comments called it "magick metal". I've been out of the metal scene for a while now but I see the tradition of inventing goofy names for subgenres is still going strong lol
inb4 Taylor Swift
Taylor swift is way too heavy for me. I respect people who like her but the wiggles are about as heavy as I go
I appreciate the recommendation. I’ve found some new music to listen to!
My favorite metal band is Ghost
Don't ratio me
I love my unpronounceable black metal bands and OSDM bands.
I also loved going to the Volbeat /Ghost concert a few years back. Variety is fun.
Hol' up. Volbeat is playing concerts with their one single song?
Love Ghost! Not my favorite, which is probably Gloryhammer, but still top five.
Why is iGhost disliked by metal fans?
You can like what you like, I just don't think Ghost is Metal.
Because Ghost is not going crazy with solos, screeching/belching/barking lyrics out, isn't recording their material in some hollowed out and echoed building somewhere. They also aren't catering to lyrics about how it'd be a wonderful day to be devouring some flesh and fucking the eye sockets of a skull. But you wouldn't know that with the vocalist doing said belching/barking/screeching lyrics until you read what the song is about.
So basically, Ghost is not liked because it's not catering to metal edgelords.
It’s hardly even metal if you look at it from atop some grindcore mountain.
Let's be real, its pop rock, but that doesn't make it less fun to listen to
FELLOW ÜLGINAUGHT REPORTING INWARD AND OUTWARD
/weird salute thing with my balls
They just look like sad Kiss fans ..
They're Angry Again.
... and again and again, again ...
That's a great metal band name
NEEEERDS!
