Can someone explain the link between grindcore and vegan/vegetarianism, 'cos I don't get it...
 
from allmusic.com

Where Napalm Death concerned itself with social protest in its often barely comprehensible lyrics, Carcass' early vocabulary was taken straight from medical textbooks and glossaries, achieving a bizarrely humorous gore factor most metal bands could only dream of; underneath song titles like "Vomited Anal Tract," "Excoriating Abdominal Emanation," "Crepitating Bowel Erosion," and "Cadaveric Incubator of Endo-Parasites" lay an almost pathological disgust with flesh (human and otherwise) that probably explains why everyone in the band is a vegetarian.
 
Right, so, cheers, but, hang on, though... what about other bands, then?

Surely they didn't all become veggie just because Carcass were.... haha.....
 
yeah but writing and singing about gore and splatter and stuff. i bet there are quite a few people who work in a butchery or something who are veggies just because of that.

aye i would, but when ripping the flesh like, a background scouse tune "Reek of Putrefactionnnnnahh!" :cool:
 
They are vegetarians, alcoholics and extremely aggressive at the same time and oh I forgot they are homophobic too... This mixture can be very easily explained... they are fighting against there own memory, their aversive memory... they are traumatized somehow... and they avoid things that remind them of this events. They fear ... their traumatic fear !!!

And remember: I don´t hurt !!! I am just the trigger !!!

But this is a very ordinary story... almost everyone has this problem !!!
