No.
Do you have to be mentally 12 years to be so edgy and think all metal is bad, there are a lot of good albums. Not all metal is just blank riffs and fast pentatonic solos.

Do you have to be 12 years old to appreciate indie rock and hip hop? No, but you would think otherwise by reading this board.

>Not all metal is [insert cool characteristics here]
I know what you're trying to do but dungeons and riffs and fast solos, etc. are all great.
Not liking metal is fun for people who pretend they're too mature to enjoy exciting things for what they are.

the trick to aging gracefully is to not replace yourself and to find time to indulge your previous yous

Yeah pretty much. Early metal like 70's Sabbath and shit like that are good because it was new and original and had a dynamic sound. Today's metal is cringe/edgelord tier metal that you have to be a fat greasy neckbeard to enjoy. I mean if you go to a metal concert literally everyone looks and behaves the same way, like a 12 year old. It's hilarious.

smh you're missing out on some amazing shit. There was a thread recently on how "le rong genertion mmers xD" were right, and nobody from /metal/ or just a fan in general felt that anout metal today. I guess if you consider the pinacle of metal today to be the mainstream stuff like Slipknot, Metallica, Lamb of God, whatever, sure. But check out the following bands and you may be suprised by the artistic value, musicianship, and innovation present

>Leviathan
>Gnaw Their Tongues
>Godflesh
>Darkspace
>Nails
>Bell Witch

I'm happy I gave metal a try, cuz its honestly great

How do 12 year olds behave?
Like they're not neurotically self conscious and afraid to have a good time?
