Is metal the worst music scene ever? -

Probably genres that are super easy to make music for are the worst. Ambient, Vaporwave, Easy Listening, AOR. There's great albums and songs in all those genres, but I feel like anyone came make songs in those genres without really trying.

Maybe hiphop because its pretty simple and anyone can make a beat. But that's makes it pretty great too. At least in a freedom sense.

Melvins are definitely a weird case, they came from more of a punk background (sludge metal is "metal" now but in the 80s it was rooted in the stuff Flipper and later Black Flag were doing), yet they worship and base a lot of their marketing gimmicks on KISS (possibly the uncoolest and un-punkest band ever).

And the pure drone stuff & wacky Mike Patton-tier stuff isn't a big hit with the more traditional metalheads.

They've got a lot of fans but they don't really fit into either culture in an orthodox way.


lukewarm take: anybody who hates 80s Slayer is an uptight asshat who probably eats their steak well-done

Metal is one of the broadest genres there is. Sure, some of it might be edgy garbage (e.g Slipknot, Marilyn Manson) but there are hundreds of other examples which produce great music.

tl;dr: OP is a faggot
I would unironically rather listen to those bands than almost any death/black metal band. At least those guys actually experienced the things they’re singing about. Whereas the Norwegian black metal scene, for example, was literally just a bunch of twinks in panda makeup reeing about imaginary persecution from Christians and burning down churches because mommy didn’t make them chicken tendies.
Darkthrone is based though.

Pretty much every person I've encountered who is obsessively into metal is usually a socially-retarded, dangerhaired ugly loser, probably a virgin/incel by the age of 30, borderline autistic - with plenty of crossover between metal fagdom and other degenerate subcultures like Brony/anime/SJW/pol/sexual deviant fandom as well.

The majority of metal isn't even "deep", it's fake, gay, and shit - it's for idiots and socially-retarded wrist-silting edgelords who confuse "dark" with "deep" (which would be like saying a low-budget slasher movie "Friday the 13th Part 99" is "deep"). It's only "deep" if you're Sigmund Freud or someone using it as a case-study into abnormal psychology, not as "music" (and calling it "music" to begin with - when most of it sounds more like a German Shepherd having a miscarriage - is being generous). The same goes for all of the silly subgenres and spin-off genres (hardcore, goth, grindcore, whatever-core) as well.

You don't see this with any real genre of music like jazz, classical, opera, choral and so forth, or with decent-quality music in pretty much any other genre - just with metal and the trailer trash, untermensch, wrist-slitting pussies and betas who religiously listen to it as a substitute for consentually making love to a woman they aren't related to.

I hate lo-fi but I'm not going to call it the worst music ever, not while mumble rap and k-pop continue to exist.

That is, assuming said asshat eats steak at all.

Yeah, nothing more to say other than OP should fuck off back to 2007-era SomethingAwful. They want their shitty OP back:

I hate Cannibal Corpse for their music, but I like their album covers. Really spooky.

The genre itself is fine, not in my top 5 favorite genres but sometimes I want to listen to some hard stuff.

Worst Fanbases? That's another story entirely

I fucking hate Metal Heads that refuse to actually listen to other music or exclusively one band.

There are greats in literally any genre, there are horrible things in every genre.
And all genres have their horrible fanbases
Indie Folk has hipsters, Country has Rednecks, rap has white trash and thugs, metalheads of Dragonlord, but don't let a fanbase alienate a genre just because you're being autistic about one.
