This is so true. I can't stand listening to anything metal I haven't listened to during that phase now, and even then I hate some of the stuff I used to really like.

Most of the guys I knew are still metalheads though and just as insufferable from what I've heard.

Metal as a genre and its fanbase are far less pseudo-intellectual and far more accepting than indie rock, jazz, classical, hip hop, etc. which all have far more insufferable people and pseudo-intellectuals. There's a reason metal has resonated so much throughout the world, having a pretty large spread while indie rock is still for elitist white boys similar to those that browse this board.

nigga i like metal but wtf even is your life

>>70721440
I'm not saying metal is objectively bad or anything man and I didn't wake up one day and decide it was crap. I just discovered more music and thought to myself "this sounds a lot better than what I listen to" and that feeling just grew until it overtook my liking to metal. Growing apart from the people whom I hung out with also contributed to that I guess.

I think it's very unlikely that would happen but I wouldn't mind getting into metal again. Associating the genre with the phase I had will probably keep me from ever doing that tbqh.

>>70721515

You gonna tell me that the people that listen to indie rock aren't widely in the stereotype of the white person that is a "hipster"? You gonna tell me that indie rock has the spread around the world into places like South America and India that metal does? Dude, where the fuck have you been?

>>70721523
don't let your past ruin a whole genre for you, there's a ton of great metal records

>>70721548
of course you fucking moron, music and music scenes aren't as black and white as you're making them. metal exists everywhere the same as indie rock or any other fucking genre of music does and clearly you haven't listened to much indie rock if you think that the "white person hipster" stereotype is widely applicable. typical self-described "metalhead" 2bh. like i said, i love metal, it's one of my favorite genres but you're sounding like a fucking idiot here.

You're the one who's so fucking delusional that you're making it look black and white. I said it clearly, when it comes to demographic spread, metal objectively does have a wider variety in spread. This literally can't be argued as it's factual. Also I never described myself as a "metalhead" either, don't put words in my mouth.

>>70721625
>metal
>angst and edge
Nope. Sure the younger fanbase can seem like that (cuz puberty), and there are some misanthropes in the black metal world, but the music is far more based on a driving visceral intensity that leads to empowerment. Angst is more the industrial, no wave, hardcore punk, etc. that people love here. Angst is the shit in the /emo/ threads here. Angst is Dan Barrett going ONE TWO FUCK YOU! Not metal.

>>70721475
>>70721544

this is objectively incorrect. you're just like the indie fans that think music is all about "catchiness" and "muh feels" but instead it's "muh riffs" and "muh satan" and "muh pagan winters", metal fans are fucking retarded holy shit

Idk, who's the tard, the person that misses the point by giving dumb examples like the goddamn lyrics? Or the person who's saying that lyrics are moot point to begin with considering we are here to talk about MUSIC.

>this is objectively incorrect.
Nope. There are metal bands that have everything from dumb shit to surprisingly eloquent stuff, but one can't or doesn't really make the attempt to understand what it exactly that's being said. This allows the listener to focus on the music itself, and how metal has gotten a fanbase that is surprisingly varied.

>muh riffs
The only one of those things fans as a whole care for, and the one that they should. Because shit, this is music, we should actually care for songwriting/composition, no?

>>70721944
>The only one of those things fans as a whole care for, and the one that they should. Because shit, this is music, we should actually care for songwriting/composition, no?
this is one of the most retarded things I've ever read in my entire life. you can't separate the lyrics from the "music" like that you stupid fuck, why do you think most metal bands take the time to PRINT THE LYRICS ALONG WITH THE MUSIC?

>>70721985
>you can't separate the lyrics from the "music" like that you stupid fuck
Why not? Lyrics, particularly in more extreme forms of metal, certainly aren't playing a big role in the music. Shit, have you ever listened to opera music? Most of that stuff's written in a language most people can't understand, yet most people can still appreciate the musicianship.

>why do you think most metal bands take the time to PRINT THE LYRICS ALONG WITH THE MUSIC?
Not all of them do. Those that do, do so more due to it being a trend within popular music to do so. A non-metal example of a band that also had to this is the krautrock band Amon Duul II, who would also just start having literal gibberish as lyrics instead of their more political stuff at one point to illustrate their point of music being a more universal language.

>Metal as a genre and its fanbase are far less pseudo-intellectual

Not on your fucking nelly my friend.

Metal is a genre in which bands all sound the fucking same, until one band breaks through with a new sound which then gets given it's own subgenre like "post hardcore black doom viking metal" or some shit and then a whole bunch of bands latch onto that sound and you wind up with people discussing the merits of slight variations in the genre and how they are either superior or inferior to the next.

I mean not all metal heads are like that, but I've met more than a few that a casual discussion of music with feels like a fucking vegan banging on about all their intolerances and what they've cut out of their diet or whatever.

Metal heads are pretentious as fuck. Far more pretentious than most other genres because at least you don't really get people dressing in such a way that you can tell what genre of music they listen to from a glance. It's like Dreadlocks on fucking white people.

And don't give me that "hurr Juggalos" crap. They're very much an outlier rather than a norm in the hip hop world.
