My Larpstyle determines my Derpstyle
I'd agree that those kinda lyrics should be banned, yes.
Hahahaohlordylol etc.
Oh, um hang on, hmmmmm, no that's far too deep a concept for a simpleton like myself to fathom. I take my hat off to you for discovering the true underlying socio-political genius in that song. And here I was thining it was just a bunch of 90s "I'm different from everyone and I'm going to cry about it" nonsense.

You listen to Black Metal so I think we can exclude you from the list of people who can judge what constitutes good lyrics
"When night falls
She cloaks the world
In impenetrable darkness
A chill rises
From the soil
And contaminates the air
Suddenly...
Life has new meaning"
yeah, obviously every black metal song is about those subjects...

The only song I like from Tyr is "Hail to the Hammer". It's pretty much the only clean-vocaled song I like.
Kivimetsan Druidi's "Blacksmith" too. Although I like the rest of their music now that I've listened to all of their albums (yes, all 2 of them) a billion times. It's fun to belt out the annoying female vocals in my car while driving, and watching the people around me laugh.
I might get shot for this one, but Blut Aus Nord's "Choir of the Dead". I LOVE black metal, and atmospheric is pretty cool, but really I'd rather listen to emperor and Limbonic art. Except for this one song.

He's probably read a few sensationalist articles in Hit Parader about how 'evil' black metal is.

True story: in 4th grade one of my friends asked me during lunch break if I liked Korn. I told him that I preferred leafy vegetables.
Yep, he's way off base. It's more like hate life, burn props for cover art, worship ANUS.

Perhaps ye peasants misunderstood me. I didn't mean that Black Metal as a genre sucks (because there are definitely some good-sounding, skilled BM bands out there), but I did mean that most Black Metal lyrics in general do suck (although obviously there are exceptions to this rule as well). I think it would be a fair statement to say that Black Metal fans mostly enjoy it mainly for reasons other than the lyrics. I also listen to some songs that have excellent musicianship and sound great, but have lyrics that are somewhat lacking, but at least I'm level-headed enough to admit it.

So you post a bunch of awful lyrics, then in defense you criticize an entire genre you don't even listen to. Then you backtrack but hey, at least you're level-headed unlike everyone else, right?

Did you not read what I just said? Firstly, I already explained why I found certain aspects of those lyrics in the Korn song meaningful (although I do generally hate all of their songs except that one).
I never criticized Black Metal as a whole, just the general lyrical drift, and contrary to your beliefs, I have listened to quite a bit of black metal before, which is how I know what the general nature of the lyrics is, but if anyone knows a really good Black Metal band that doesn't do the whole cliched goat-shagging devil-jacking-off routine, I'll gladly fire it up right now and have a listen.

Sure...and in defense of your post, you criticize an entire genre. Hint: When you criticize the "lyrical drift" from an entire genre you're generalizing and criticizing the entire genre. Be level-headed and just admit to what you said.
And if you've listened to quite a number of black metal bands you must have come across some lyrical diversity. Even if you only listen to a handful of the most well-known black metal bands...
