Why do metalheads, like those over in /metal/, like to call everyone

>>72009857
They are insecure

>>72009857
Most people that have an issue with metal or prog have stylistic issues with it. They prefer minimalism over maximalism. Since minimalism is associated with femininity, they associate the persons preference for more traditionally effeminate styles of music with them being effeminate. Or also this >>72009876

Why is he hiding his identity?

>>72009980
is as simple as them thinking metal is brootal, aggressive, and masculine and everything else is feminine like you said

Close. Most of mu likes feminine (minimalist) music. Folk, punk/post-punk, post-rock. They are dismissive of music that tries to be maximalist such as metal or prog. It's a carry over from popular-music critics who only really give credence to minimalist music.

because nu-males like yourself get upset and reply to them and make threads like these

What is the nu-male movement? We must know it so that we can deny its advances when it comes to tempt us.

Nu-male is safe but progressive.
Nu-male is accessible but intolerant.
Nu-male is intellectual but facile.

Nu-male is a product invented from whole cloth, an unnatural academic foray into metal, adorned with stolen designs like a Christmas tree with baubles - and no less commercial. Nu-male is an appropriation of the sound of danger, and thus represents a marginalization and disenfranchisement of the progenitors and true artists that work with that sound. Nu-male does not celebrate its origin; nu-male uses its origin as the basis of a semantic fallacy in order to bootstrap its own agenda into legitimacy. The often-mocked term applied to it is actually entirely accurate: nu-male is untrue. It is false. It is a sheep in wolfs' clothing. It is a cultural assault perpetrated on a genre that is already made defenseless by way of its own defense: the isolation from the mainstream. With no representative in popular culture, the industry and critic complex are free to plunder the vaults of true metal, cobble together whatever disarmed Frankenstein's monster they please and sell it to the general public as a morally safe and forward-thinking product - as socially or artistically "acceptable" metal.

True metal is not acceptable. It is a hate crime.
