Femininity in hard rock/metal music

Image wasn't the only thing that was feminized, and this partly comes from black music as well, so you could say it was "niggerized" if you want as well, but increasingly high pitched and emotive, whining types of vocals gained prominence. High pitched voices are feminine the an obvious way, although there is a masculine element to the challenge and the spectacle of pushing the boundaries of one's voice that shouldn't be ignored. Heavily shaky, emotive vocals seemed to have come from blues, negroes having no shortage of things to whine about, but going back to Elvis and other white male performers, there was much more of a stoicism even when they were displaying emotion [1].
There was definitely a freakish and transgressive element to all this, probably best portrayed by Twisted Sister, who are probably the most explicit merging of masculine energy with feminine appearance. They seemed to be trying to look as ugly as possible while doing it as well though, so it was funny, but with many bands it seemed humorless. I know that hermaphroditic deities used to be worshipped long ago, so maybe there's something humans see as divine in that merging of the male and female that was tapped into.

I understand that most creative people in music are men, so that poses a question. What is the appropriate amount of femininity to portray as a male creative musicain, given that women aren't going to make the music they want? Outside of the context of female characters, should musicians present a virtuous and manly face, and is confusing the genders in such a way going to be negative? What makes this phenomenon possible on a psychological level?

It's the only metal that's allowed on /mu/. Mods won't allow anything too masculine.

they are so masculine they have ascended and have no need to compensate. They can wear make-up and whatever, you still know they get more pussy than you ever will. If I look at 90's varg i just wonder, has this man ever seen a vagina. Does his corpse paint really make him look manly, does burning a remote church in the middle of the night really represent masculinity, are role playing games manly? No, was my conclusion. Its more of a thing about creating an image about not giving a fuck, whilst extreme metal tried the same and failed horribly. I think 90% of my total time listening to music this year was spent listening to glam. In my opinion the period produced many good records that took skill to play, unlike 90% of /mu/core

Wait really? Are they banning Metal generals that have too gritty, dark themes?

Once or twice, don't bother with generals. Care to explain?

once every few days the thread used to be spammed with every variation of the terminal redux cover, every reccomendation was terminal redux. Whilst that was hapenning the idiot that posted an actual album or something got called a nu-male, which in turn got called a nu-male, in the whole thread is quoting each other calling eachother nu-males and posting terminal redux
