11.03.12 | “If you think metal is by any means open minded, independent, or communal on a mass scale, you need to join a band,
get out on the road and really see how this scene operates. Metal will always have its growth stunted and held back by
how fanatical and closed minded its fan base is becoming. This is from first hand experience and i’ve been saying it for
years. This whole “metal only” mentality is childish, irrational and widespread” — Alex Hofmann - Fallujah

Hit the nail on the head with that he did. There are a ton of people that listen to metal and think everything else sucks. I actually have a friend that was like that for a while. |

11.03.12 | The "metal will always have its growth stunted" thing is a stretch though. There will always be groups that are doing fresh and new things with the genre. |

11.03.12 | metal is supposed to be primitive and tongue in cheek thats why all this techwank progfag djentcore fuckery blows asshole |

Pointless topic. |

11.03.12 | "There are a ton of people that listen to metal and DON'T think everything else sucks."
but see this is the problem, when a band like faglujah get ripped on the internet they automatically attribute it to "elitists who hate anything new" and dont understand that they're getting ripped because they actually suck. its a way of taking criticism and rationalizing why it doesnt apply to you |

11.03.12 | I don't really think this mentality has held back the music. |
Trebor17
11.03.12 | I don't just listen to metal duh, I listen to Disturbed and The Beetles and 3 Days Grace and Avenged Sevenfold and Led Zeplin
Thumbs up if you were born in the wrong generation |

11.03.12 | if a group experiments and goes off in a new direction there are always fans who hate it, the band gains new fans or withers away, same for any genre |

11.03.12 | "Metal is close minded?"
not more or less than any other genre, there has been a wave of close minded metalheads due to the rise in popularity of
nu-metal, since the genre is dying and deathcore hasn't been able to be as popular, a part of this close minding mentality
is going towards the current important genre imo |

11.03.12 | lol wow some people here are fucking dumb |
Trebor17
11.03.12 | metal is at its lowest point right now with the djent and the deathcore and what not. It will bounce back hopefully

MrElmo

11.03.12 | agreed mickeymau5, i have friends who love metal and are say 'metalists' and only believe in metal. I personally love metal, its a cool genre, but it is closed minded. Music is to be experimented for the better and you can only cover so much ground with one genre. |
