This amazing song required alcohol, so I think it is.

 

[CiG]

I do actually play drums (from hell).

Before the video loaded I thought you posted Dying Inside tbh. Alcohol knows it's gonna win.

i'd rather be the drummer (or keyboardist), i'm fucking hopeless on guitar. then again i guess in-crowd metal is characterised by an inability to play instruments.

Nah, you can be proficient, you just can't ever instrumentwank.

We're gonna be like Hellhammer and learn as we go.

well at least this one actually applies to me unlike most of your criteria. i'm curious to hear what you think is (ever) appealing about instrumental masturbation actually. it kinda goes against my approach to all artforms and probably my entire personality honestly.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Instrumentwank is a relative thing obvs, but the general trend would be that artists preferred by the UltimateGuitar crowd or the average nerd that worships Tool and Dream Theater would be disfavored by the in-crowd.

 

[no country for old wainds]

so you're implicitly saying that these bands are too similar to certain albums from the in-crowd canon for this to simply be a matter of taste? idk maybe. i suspect if you named a list of bands from that crowd most of us would have a mixed bag of opinions though. i'm prone toward praising scorned mainstream shit and shitting on beloved staples myself, hence why getting namedropped as the banner figure of this so-called movement automatically makes me dubious about the legitimacy of the whole thing. i don't even like sabbat (uk) or heathen much, you should pretty much be high fiving me m8

 

[Omni]

I don't think that you'd be the poster child for the in-crowd by any means. There is one obvious choice and the fact that he doesn't post here anymore actually reinforces that. This of course only being true if HBB is right and not speaking out of bias.

Yeah, basically. I might consider making some kind of poll to address this. There's no reason a Heathen fan should call Testament generic, there's no reason a Fates Warning fan should dismiss early Queensryche, it's laughable that there are many that praise 90s Virgin Steele and hate Manowar, etc. The in-crowd effect can be observed at least somewhat in that "list of greatest bands" game/thread thing a few years back.

You're like an archbishop or some shit btw, not the king or queen. Phylactery is your altar boy.

 

[no country for old wainds]

phylactery is more like 2006 me than 2016 me imo, but maybe that fits the analogy and i'm grooming him

@HamburgerBoy

Please list the entire UMGMD in-crowd royal family and their entourage.

 

[no country for old wainds]

you're the queen who took the throne after king dodens was killed in the great UltimateGuitar war of 2009.
