Whats the appeal?

>musicianship that nearly reaches the same heights as the most acclaimed classical composers of the past centuries
>thought-provoking lyricism and imagery
I think that's more than enough appeal?

Makes you want to destroy shit with a baseball bat. Reckless.

School is tough

Rock music with more thoughtful song structure and skilled musicianship. Same reason I like prog and math rock really. Also dissonance is nice.

LMAO what?? """""""""Singing""""""""" about muh aliens or muh spaceships isn't thought provoking lyricism.

The only reason to listen to metal is anger.

Good to smoke weed to , stoner sludge metal is pretty good m8

Catharsis, but also fun

The only band that sings about space ships that i can think of is vektor.

Just like the way it sounds and the imagery,hard to say what the appeal is.Its not everyone's cup of tea.

>t. What is dissonance

>>71877265
I'm angry that I don't understand it, I want to be included.

you cant put all metal into a box
there really isn't an appeal for your run-of-the-mill radio metal

start with the basics and the early stuff and move upwards from there

>>71879734
You don't have to have deep knowledge of music to enjoy it, hell I don't understand most books I read but language is cool

>>71879740
Yea I agree metal can range from light happy fantasy ballads like power metal,or aggressive fuzzed out screams like black metal

metal is so diverse that asking "what's the appeal of metal?" really doesn't have a point. Ask "what's the appeal of *sub genre of metal* ?" or "what's the appeal of *metal band*?" and we will be glad to try to explain as best as we can

>>71879734
It depends what kind of sounds do you enjoy ?

>>71879734
start with iron maiden like everyone else

>>71880047
I agree with this start with iron maiden

>>71879974
>metal is so diverse

Wait was that your argument lol

/mu/ can't into actual good music, /mu/ can't into metal
simple as that

>>71877265
You need at least some testosterone to enjoy metal
You will never understand it

t. underage b8

>>71881790
don't be a pretentious arrogant faggot, everyone hates us for that and it stops people from getting into metal

>>71881849
>>71881791
this applies for you as well

>>71881849
that's lucky for them then, they dodged a bullet there

>>71881869
>not listening to an entire genre is dodging a bullet
how pleb, not at least trying to understand and enjoy every genre you know of

>>71881791
every metalhead i know got bullied like shit at some point though. they either went insane or became the punching bag of the bully group.

>>71881909
*subgenre

Nobody listens to all genres, not an argument.
