The only people who seriously, unironically talk about "in crowd" metal, are giant poseurs tbh.

In correlation to what? You also like Coroner and Adramelch don't you?
Why don't you cut the bullshit and just admit that it's a nonsense condemnation phrase you use to describe and shun people you don't like?

If someone made a list of political beliefs said to collectively define a specific political orientation (e.g. liberal, conservative), would you say the political orientation would be an inappropriate label for someone that only follows 90% of the set of beliefs?
It has nothing to do with disliking people. I like no wainds and other in-crowd people plenty and don't particularly *dislike* anyone on this forum, I've just noticed that group-think occurs fairly often on music forums. The in-crowd changes from forum to forum, but the list above fairly accurately sums up the preferences of people said to have "good taste".

Why aren't they comparable? In any case, it only takes the smallest amount of critical thought to come up with another analogy. Let's say there are thrash metal fans and black metal fans. Thrash metal fans are defined by their preference of thrash above all, black metal fans likewise for black metal. Is a person that loves 90% of the thrash canon but dislikes 10% of it, and maybe also likes a little black metal here and there, not still predominantly one of thrash taste?
I've acknowledged the existence of an out-crowd too in the past, so sure.

That's not backhanded. Backhanded would be "No wainds is an OK guy, for an in-crowd cunt". In-crowd makes no statement on a person's character other than their tendency to create or follow trends. I <3 U

Because there is no actual rallying and any usefulness for group-think on any level whatsoever when it comes to music taste. It's an unimportant issue for anyone other than yourself.
Anyone who bases their opinions entirely around someone else's taste is dumb. No one I know who you call in-crowd does that.

Factually incorrect, music has evolved with humanity for many millennia and is a well-established part of creating culture, a defining aspect of the human species and identity, and part of what makes us social animals and fight for a shared cause. Researchers have experimentally demonstrated that in-crowd taste exists.

No, it really doesn't. Sociability is not universally distributed, some people are more social than others, some people are entirely asocial. This kind of everyone/no-one/everything/nothing viewpoint you've shown multiple times now is suggesting to me that you are an incredibly unintelligent person, or at least one wholly incapable of nuance and depth.

Talk about absolute, unadulterated projection. You are the one making up and categorizing people into groups, and none whose personal lives you know anything about (whether they're social, asocial, antisocial, etc.).

I know that tastes have been molded on this forum. I know some are honest enough to admit it, even if you can't.

K, well if you're going to sit here and make bold claims about people you don't even know, ya don't really get to accuse me of lacking nuance and depth.
Furthermore, none of the "in-crowders" are extroverts aside from GoD who I haven't talked to enough outside the forum to know.

i'm actually unsociable as fuck lol. yoda's gotta be the extrovert of the in-crowd.
I feel like Mortuary Drape and Infernäl Mäjesty are in that list solely because of me. What an honour.
