Why is metal the go to lifting music?

>>41371313
It's better than rap/trance/EDM

>>41371313
Low test beta detected

>>41371313

EDM and hip-hop here mostly. Also Spinnin is fucking shit these days.

>>41371313
metal is shit, and the only reason it's so popular here is because this board is populated by 16 year-olds. btw, you'll probably get a 24hr ban for this "off topic" thread.

>>41371343
Eat shit mate I've hit many a PR to house music, you sound like a fat bitch

testlets will never be able to listen to metal, and maximize their gains

>>41371347
Agreed, the only reason I used that image is cuz everyone pretty much knows Spinnin

>>41371381
I've listened to plenty of metal in my time, close minded I'm not. It's ok bud I was 16 and hated myself once too

>>41371343
> still using beta/alpha in your replies

What's it like being a living breathing meme.

>>41371313
I listen to mainly trap, hardstyle, big room house from 2013 and occassional bit of deep house. I get way more motivation from that then shitty metal.

You can enjoy your own preference of music without putting down other's. Grow up.

>>41371412
Seriously man, nothing like hitting a PR right at the drop. All the hormones and endorphins feel amazing

>>41371313
hardcore is much better lifting music than metal desu

>>41371431
LOL

EDM is for faggot bro steppers who are into it for the fad. Grow a pair and get into underground dark techno.

>>41371458
This is how I know you're underage b&

>>41371313
Balkan folk/traditional music is the true patrician's choice.

>>41371428

how will others know im better than them in my own mind tho?

Nobody over 20 listens to fucking EDM unless they do copious amounts of drugs.

You're also fucking ignorant if you generalize vocals in metal as if metal wasn't the broadest genre of music.

>>41371522
I'm 23 and I don't smoke drink and have never touched any narcotics so you can suck a dick man. I bet you look like play dough and swim with your shirt on

holy fuck this board is beyond the point of return. you're all fat neckbeards with pleb taste in music please kill yourselves

I listen to power metal maybe half the time. The other half I usually play Dance with the Dead, Perturbator, some Carpenter Brut and related.

But christ OP you're a fucking adult, you said you're the same age as me yet you're acting like a literal child what the hell. Just listen to your music, or be one of those guys who doesn't listen to music when they lift at all. Whatever works for you but what are you even doing with this thread?

>>41371590
Who u callin a neckbeard boy

>>41371623
I wanna know what goes thru ur mind when you hear a bunch of overgrown children screaming over muddy guitars fast double bass drums talking about dumb shit like violence rape and suicide. Where's the appeal?

>>41371672
i don't listen to hardcore normally, i like a bit of punk rock but that's about as heavy as i go. tried some hc in the gym one day and found it actually worked. lifts went up, felt motivated af. don't touch it outside the gym though. test it out.

Edm music is worse.. its litterally just fucking random repeated sounds with a strong bass.. you need drugs to enjoy that shit thats why most kids that go to raves and festivals always pop pills.... and now theyre stealing the headbanging and mosh pitting from the metal scene.... fucking normies i swear

>>41371672
At least it takes skills to play metal music... you dont need to even know music theory to make edm rave music .. shit is just random fucking sounds

I used to exclusively listen to EDM from ages 11 to 18. Now I'm 22 and I listen to metal. How do you explain this OP? EDM is for children

>>41371313
Most normie metal is garbage, especially the stuff you hear in lifting videos.
If you have good taste you'll listen to something like this >>41371425

>EDM
Why do americans use this term?

>>41372279
I'm pretty much the same as you (listened to EDM back in my teenage days) except I'm a grown man who listens to Korean pop now.

What the fuck went wrong?

>>41371313
>Seriously, what are you 15?
>I listen to EDM
Holy irony batman. I don't even listen to metal (except Mastodon), but you're a fucking moron

>punk, indie, ska & hip-hop

>>41371570
Is hardcore the same as hardcore punk? Because I like some hardcore punk.
The album you linked sounds too clean and modern for me.

Try listening to old school EBM instead, makes it so easy to tune out everything else and just focus on moving. Industrial and DnB is fine too.

Can confirm I'm 21 and do an insane amount of drugs most weekends

I listen to both. EDM, mostly dubstep and house, when doing upper body and metal for lower body/back.

THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!

I FLEW BEYOND THE SUN BEFORE IT WAS TIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEE

look up on studies done on that

tl;dr aggressive music makes you aggressive so it's perfect for lifting. you feel more active and in the zone for lifting

>>41371313
>Am I the only one
Yes you're a very special boy, Anon. Very unique.

>>41371313
There are different types of metal that suit different tastes and ages. The fact that you listened to shit doesn't mean shit is the only thing that exists. Also, better metal is an acquired taste, like literally anything else. Btw, metal usually is on the top of complex themes/lyrics, genre-wise.

All in all, you're just a faggot contrarian like everyone else in this board.

nah senpai I lift to house bass and trance

>>41373291
The first time I hit 315 on bench, Signed Sealed Delivered I'm Yours was playing on the gym radio.

Is EDM a modern word for techno/trance or is it something new?
I also seem to remember something called "dance music" from the 90s/early 2000s, and it was already electronic?

>>41373728
Wonderful taste.

>not hitting PRs while listening to power electronics
>not doing cardio to field recordings and musiqe concrete

>>41373131
There was two years during school when I was younger I listened to crack the skye exclusively on a zune MP3 player every single day. It was the only album on the zune And I listened to no other music.

>>41371431
potent cringe

Nothing quite like doing a 20k run and listening to a good boiler room set

I listen to most music but I can't stand metal, I just don't get the appeal. Must be a white person thing

Used to lift to metal, but trance is pretty good for keeping me focused

>>41373732
edm just stands for electronic dance music, so yes trance, techno, house, etc. are subgenres
when that kind of music wasn't mainstream people called it by those specific subgenres or just ''dance''
now ''edm'' is used by obnoxious normalfags for obnoxious commercial crap

samo techno.

>>41373785
There's plenty of subgenres around, and like most things the commercial stuff is usually bad.
What have you heard?

>he doesn't listen to multiple genres

Im 45 and listen to metal since i was 13
At the gym i listen to Belakor, Insomnium, Amon Amarth, i cant stand the other music thats played in the gym or the top 40 ed sherean/jean paul crap, something nice and aggressive to help get the lifts up

I got headphones on, some other people in the gym also got headphones on, I don't give a fuck what they're listening to.

If you say you listen to "Edm" then most likely you listen to trash commercial stuff. It's only Americans that do this.

As for subgenres, hardstyle is where it's at.

Shit I just listen to anything that gets me to zone out. Anything with a consistent rhythm helps keeps me in check.

>not listening to metal inspired dubstep
https://youtu.be/hlo2y4bb_ok

Cuz ur asking /fit/ about this. This boards is the worst when it comes to music, well I mean there'll always be /mu/, still retards on here don't even differentiate genres in electronic music, probably don't in rock/metal too.
W/e hardstyle is the goat lifting music. It's not the best electronic music for sure, but if you go 12 bpms lower than hardstyle's, you'll be there.

>>41375627
hardstyle is what 17 year olds pretending to be a dead Kurdish/Australian stripper to compensate for their complete lack of personality listen to

I'm lifting in my homegym in my garden shack outside, so I enjoy the silence between the sets and exercises.

The few times I went to a gym I was really distracted by everything around me, so I can understand everyone who needs something to zone out.

I was listening to hardcore punk when I was 16 and stopped since then, got bored of it. now I'm 21 and the last months I was listening to classical music but now I've went to hardcore again, fucking goat on getting myself pumped(minor threat, black flag, gorilla biscuists, adolescents, etc.)


stop being an elitist and just listen to whatever you feel like

>>41373545
It's pretty good but far from the best.

>>41376243
Autistic? Yes.
Alpha male? Yes.

i like listening to hardbass

>>41371313

nothing gets me more pumped up than listening to the 2009 techno. that shit gets me pumped up and gives me a nostalgic feeling, perfect combo.

I listen to a lot of Carpenter Brut as well, I don't really limit myself to only one type of music, everyone is different though so my tastes might not be like yours.

>>41371313
I bounce between metal and EDM
Pendulum and Mastodon are both GREAT to listen to while squatting, yet they're radically different.

KYS for trying to start shit between lifters on what they listen to.
I've been listening to metal since I was 5 years old - Slipknot's self-titled in 1999.
>Metal musician parents
Yet, I still listen to that shit today, along with Psy-Trance music and Native American Flute music.
