Justin S. said:EDIT: Wanted to add that I thinks it nice to see when women drop the bullshit and actually engage the world as a complex creature, and enjoy something for what it is. That a 17-18 girl in this culture is honestly enjoying Death and Black metal (and hopefully not because of some trend or goth complex) is unusual to say the least.
Aww, thanksJustin S. said:EDIT: Wanted to add that I thinks it nice to see when women drop the bullshit and actually engage the world as a complex creature, and enjoy something for what it is.

If NeverIsForever is really a girl, then its nice to have you around.

modernists: only like more modern metal...
classic/purists: may listen to some modern stuff, but typically only true bands.
whateverists: people who listen to what they like, and have no biased preconceptions due to genre or era.
in my own opinion...as stale, boring and fruity or whatever Judas Priest may sound to some of you...their music is far more entertaining and has a lot more replay value than newer bands like kalmah, orphaned land, children of bodom, dimmu borgir, woods of ypres, nile, etc etc. It does sound dated...but i dont see why thats a problem? I wouldnt necessarily call myself a metal historian or a music historian (although i know more than most about these things) because i listen to that music...i just like it because its good music.
anyone who disregards something due to its age or maybe being obsolete in one way or another, is missing out on a lot.
Opeth is a band that really isnt modern in any way at all. But it seems most people regard them as a modern metal band. Sure, they technically are due to when they were formed. But musically they are a classic sounding band in almost every respect...and thats why i like them. Its tasteful, unique, and has tons of replay value, without sounding like the typical monotonous horseshit labels like century media, nuclear blast and metalblade are shoving down everyones throats.

are you associating classic with true...what do you mean by true?

^tr00 as in staying strictly in one style of music; the way it was originally intended to be.
