park is way off the mark here and that's coming from a fellow metal elitist who jerks off to human torture while blaring dm or thrash til death

park didn't actually say this sucks BECAUSE it is popular though, the two things are independent of one another and any combination of quality/popularity can be true.
Yet people like zakk (I won't speak for Titan, he seems cool) do claim that cultural relevance or whatever is the be all and end all, which guess what? Goes hand-in-hand with popularity. Like if you don't like something that had an impact on x no. of people then you're some sort of outcast loser. It's just a weird mentality.

I mean, how park approached this was aggressively stupid and it DID sound like he was saying "oh this band is popular so you must only like it because it's popular."
I also like Exhorder (preoredered their vinyl last fall and I love it) and Demolition Hammer (shit, I'm seeing them in 2 weeks and I am pumped!) but saying shit like "Oh people like Pantera because they never heard of these bands" is just snobbish, elitist dogshit.
This band just brings a level of energy, crushing riffs, confidence and badassery that was seriously missing in mainstream metal at the time, and tbh also for some time after their disbandment. Other good bands existing (some of which he mentioned only had like one album or were in totally different genres) doesn't mean that another one still isn't awesome.
And it's not like titan said "oh I like Pantera because a lot of other people liked them", that's just something park made up in his own head and started arguing against lol

I probably saw Suffocation live 6 or 7 times throughout the years, living on long island, as they played the clubs all the time......frank actually lived around the corner from one of my college buddies and was friends with him......are they my favorite band, absolutely not, and to say they were doing it better or were more interesting than a band like Pantera is like saying watermelon is better than a steak - two totally different things! but parc wouldn't know that about me, or the fact that I actually did shots with david vincent. yeah, i'm naive and unaware...
My one and only point is that Pantera was fucking huge, so huge, even the guido's started wearing Pantera shirts lol. No one was forced to like them, and if someone didn't or doesn't like them, I could care less. But as he stated, he has an issue with my ego and my personality, and decided to attack me because of it. Maybe one day, I too, like parc, will have a doctorate in all forms of heavy metal music where I can exhaust myself by going against the grain the entire time trying to prove the masses wrong. But that's not important to me at all.
Only one thing I can guarantee....if given the opportunity, parcsungjoon would never call me a bitch, snowflake, etc to my face
And like I mentioned above, I thought he was a good fella. Shame that that's been compromised...

I can only talk from my experience and I was only really young when this came out and being into Metallica and Megadeth att, this hit like a freight train. But I instantly liked the clean heavy guitars and intricate drumming. Mouth For War with that breakdown towards the end was the shit. My interests in metal have always been varied, to the known stuff to the unknown stuff like most peeps on sput. After this the life changing records for me were Chaos AD then Demanufacture then Storm of the Lights Bane.
But I disagree Pantera went out to be accessible. Vulgar Display was extremely aggressive and hostile. Then Far Beyond was even darker and Great Southern Trendkill they were on the absolute edge. So those were hardly commercial sounding albums
