>people over 20 who unironically likes metal can anyone

I like intense music.

>>72387349
I agree mate. It's just as vile as hip hop.

It's almost as if different people have different tastes

Just a different way of making music, loads of variety, from happy power metal to depressive black metal. Something for everyone, just like how the sound varies massively in rap or rock etc. doesn't necessarily have to be brutal death metal (I personally like death metal for its intensity and complex instrumentals but I understand why some people wouldn't, its kind of guitar shreding porn.) Also the representation of metal in the mainstream is really poor with most of the popular bands atm (Black Veil Brides, Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria and that lot) being garbage. As with most genres the most innovative bands don't get the audience they deserve

>people over 20 who unironically likes negro rap

can anyone explain this?

t. nu-male

The only genre i'd judge in older age would be pop punk.

What the fuck can these 30 year olds still be getting out of shallow teenage feelings and basic pop structure? It's baffling.

>>72389078
this and most electronic based music.

>>72389078
EDM, friend. anyone beyond 30 who unironically enjoys EDM must have some part of their brain not functioning well

>existing

>get called a nu male
Really makes you think

>>72387349
At what age did you grow out of metal, OP? You liked metal once? What do you listen to now?

metal is a bretty broad umbrella, there's a heck of a lot of variation going on within it
to write it off as a whole is silly

>>72387349
>Reverse racism

Pls don't be like that.

>>72389604
it's all most like nu-male is a meme spouted by insecure retards who think that their opinion is important to any conversation.

>>72390364
Can't I just be nice & enjoy my metal in peace?

Do you want me angry?

>>72390364
Spoken like a true nu-male

>>72387375
Nope, hip hop actually has lyrical content worth giving a damn, more then every other music genre

>>72390659

Burzum is a bit overrated in my opinion.

Lol, none of the replies debunk what this guy said. Just edgy white teens who can't understand amazing lyrical content. There's a reason hip hop is getting more and more popular. It has everything.

Because it's for plebs

Taken from another anon:


>As someone who compliments his listening to metal with other forms of music, to me metal is the epitome of what popular music has to offer as a genre from a sheer musical perspective.

>A constantly changing aesthetic aside, the two most common values of popular music that it has over other forms of music are 1. the hooks which are melodies made to be repeated a few times rather than transition the way art music or jazz does and 2. a level of visceral intensity not offered in other forms of music (as was first exemplified by the song Roll Over Beethoven by Chuck Berry.)

>The metal genre, particularly in its more extreme format offers both of these put together in spades. Rather than punk music/rock n roll which just focuses on the visceral or really other forms of popular music that focus on hook melodies, metal focuses on both. It achieves this through riffs which are melodies with a heavy visceral bent achieved through lots of fast chord playing, distortion, erratic rhythm sections, etc.

>In order to optimize these unique aspects of popular music, the best metal tends to have song structure akin to a sonata form which starts of seemingly sounding like a verse chorus structure but then turns into a straight up riff attack. What's interesting to notice here often is that unlike say...a lot of other typical popular music like anything on the radio or a song like King Crimson's 20th Century Schizoid Man, there's no verse section where the music "calms" down as in it doesn't play a hook and resorts to usually some kind of more static two/three chord progression. The best of the metal genre is all visceral hooks (riffs) all the time.

>Metal can also deliver this in various tempos as well ranging from lower tempo stuff like Eyehategod to something midtempo like Judas Priest to something really fast like Morbid Angel.

>It's a genre that can feel hard to get, but ultimately rewarding in what it does.
