11.15.24 | Funk metal shouldn't be a genre and yet you use it to describe Rage Against the Machine's instrumentals. Checkmate, you're move |

11.15.24 | I'm not saying it isn't a genre, I'm just saying I wish it didn't exist at all |

11.15.24 | 8, 9 and 13 are for sure very very very bad takes lol. |
Dedes
11.15.24 | I think people are extremely, extremely aware that Ghost is not a metal band by now.
It's extremely far from a hot take lmao, I see posts about Ghost not being metal like twice a day between various FB groups I follow and it's unanimously agreed their just cornball classic rock |
Jmal00
11.15.24 | Burzum sucking is the best take no doubt |
DaveyMonsoon
11.15.24 | Based and correct Pantera take. |

11.15.24 | 13's got some truth to it tho
agreed with 1 and 2
4 kinda triggered me tho ngl, even if it is kinda true lol |

11.15.24 | "Grind is barely music"
I can say with confidence that the style known as brutal/death/grindcore/whatever the fuck is not music by definition, but a vociferous, ostentatious, glorified noisemaker by demonstrable fact. And those who are willing to defend this trite, incomprehensible medium have probably taken one too many hardcore dancing flailings to the face, rendering their thought processes one step away from being completely catatonic |

11.15.24 | I think Ghost is, as of Impera, metal-adjacent, and a really good gateway for people to get into heavy metal. That being said, Meliora and Prequelle are great albums that channel classic heavy metal without 100% aping it |

11.15.24 | jeez, tell us how you really feel |

11.15.24 | 13 might be true? not because of the quality of music but the image and lyrics for sure. |
ScuroFantasma
11.15.24 | 8 is my only strong disagreement here tbh. I’d quibble with a few others. |
foxblood
11.15.24 | grind is easily the best genre because it is the antithesis of music. I get what you mean with 13 I think that might actually have some truth to it. I doubt 90's Saxon could be the best but I haven't gotten that far yet |
KjSwantko
11.15.24 | Agree with the RATM comments strongly. |

11.15.24 | "because it is the antithesis of music."
let's not get carried away now |

11.15.24 | grind still has songwriting mostly lol. like pig destroyer isn't worthless noise without thought. |
foxblood
11.15.24 | by that I meant it has the opposite of most music conventions intentionally but of course melody harmony etc can still be present |
Sinternet
11.15.24 | yep these sure are bad takes |

And to prove my case, I'm going to compare brutal/death/grindcore to its progenitor that has a full set of perfectly functioning chromosomes... METAL. |

11.15.24 | lol classic |

11.15.24 | I concur with 10, 12 and 13's takes. xP Never liked RATM, but I really like Alice in Chains' Dirt. I'm not a fan of SOAD, either. |

rellik009
11.15.24 | grind is certainly an intriguing genre, i love it cuz its so primitive and visceral
i can understand not everyone likes it because of how over-the-top in its 'extremism' the genre is though. |

11.15.24 | 1.Considering that lyrics have zero influence on genre and only complete morons would use them to classify music, you are completely correct here.
2. Same as above.
3.It is a cold world where funk exists yet we both are unlucky enough to inhabit it.
4. While mostly true you refuse to acknowledge the exceptional bands that can make grind work and turn the largely disgusting genre into something worth listening to. Your own inadequacies have twisted your mind into a pretzel that needs a bit of salt.
5. Completely agree. Your approach to doom and grind should be very similar in this regard.
6. Not a controversial nor untrue take. Although I’d argue they have metal moments.
7. Completely agree although Metallica deserves 50% of that blame as well.
8. Burzum is the worst band to ever touch my ears and that should not be controversial in the slightest.
9. You really need to grow up and accept the fact that not everything in life will be easy. Sometimes you have to go through hardship and struggle to truly get what you want.
10. Correct!
11. So fucking disrespectful and wrong I’m almost ashamed to call you the homie.
12.Grunge is garbage but man AIC is good.
13. It does not matter what DM band you use as a bridge to the genre. You will either like it or not. First time I heard TSOP I was disgusted with the vocals and at the end of the day I just had to man up and quit being a loser.
14. 100% factual. Senjutsu is a war crime that was committed with 0 response from the UN. The single most disappointing album I’ve heard and the sole cause of my misanthropy.
15. The literal only reason you say that is because I hype them up as the rightful GOATS of prog. Which they 100% are. Not every song needs a gay singalong or a hooks man. Sometimes it’s ok to be straight in this mad gone world.
16. I mean no not really but does anyone really even care?
17. Sure why not?
18. You cannot bash the only talented band in the entire genre of nu metal dawg. SOAD is the oasis of talent in that post apocalyptic hellscape of a shitter genre and Serj is serviceable. |

11.15.24 | I only agree on about 3 of these though, but I would only imagine that level of compatibility with a Leppard and AC/DC fan - fun read though :D |

At the end of the day, just gotta have fun with it. |

11.16.24 | 1, 2, and 5 are spot on. |
ToSmokMuzyki
11.16.24 | wow you really meant it this time
1. incorrect. viking metal, the 2nd genre quorthon invented, is characterized by mid tempo, rolling riffs containing any other manner of riffage as well as long as it is based on/returns to the mid tempo rolls, clean singing + often choral chants, clean guitars, often any manner of folk instrumentation, and while not required to be labelled such musically often dealing with viking themed lyrics ie while quorthon released several viking albums including and not limited to my favourite bathory in nordland ii the likes of amon amarth is NOT, lyrics do not create genres and aa is distinctly mdm even if they do use a mid tempo most of the time
2. this is trv. lyrics do not create genres
3. eh im all for any kind of combinations of sounds for the lulz as long as its good so somewhat yes
4. pretty much, and its usually only good when you combine it with dm to the point its just short dm songs anyway
5. often just more mid but as in anything there are usually big standouts
6. only debut can be considered to be so yes
7. this is trv
8. ehh he's half n half not a bad track record overall a box of chocolates discography
9. garbage bm band agreed
10. only having heard debut agreed also garbage band
11. not having heard all of them im still gonna say nah up to crusader is best
12. alice in chains and grunge suck all the balls
13. ??? cc is the first dm band all noobs flock to and is the most popular dm band ever after death, objectively wrong statement
14. yes
15. decent band for progheads to jizz over so prob
16. BASED
17. dunno
18. eh its w/e |
