Controversial opinions on metal

[TechnicalBarbarity]

will a tosser such as yourself please enlighten me then?

 

[CiG]

Yes he's a senior.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... hah! That's fuckin' awesome.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Looks like you can't pull the age card anymore, sux2bu.

For the most part, I think that progressive metal has simply fucked up. Personally, I like complex arrangements, technicality (but ffs, not for technicality's sake; not for wank), and some level of scope and grandeur in my music. I think progressive rock as done much better delivering that while still making GOOD MUSIC, which is not dependent on any of those things.

I don't give a shit about most of that. Good call on Dimension Hatross though.

I was just saying that because whatshisname up there theorised that people's favourite music tends to be from the year they were born. Not so much for me.

Well I said around the time they were born, not the exact year. And it's hard to deny the late 80's was a pretty awesome time for metal.

Not so much if your favourite types of metal are traditional. That said, many of my favourite doom metal albums are post-1989.

The great thing about the 80's was how fast things were moving. Thrash, Black Metal, Death Metal, Sludge and Power Metal all appeared within a few years of each other. Since then all we've been doing is recombining those genres in new ways - I don't even remember the last time I heard something that I considered to belong to a completely new genre of metal.

Pretty good year. Good albums, great bands formed.

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Not too good for fashion, though. It was right around that time when clown pants were in style.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Jncos? Dude those pants are the shit. I still wear pathetic copycat versions.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

JNCO jeans were maybe the worst fashion item to occur during my lifetime. They were so stupid.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Yeah, because comfort and shit tons of pockets are both really gay concepts.

 

[Internally Deformed]

This guy certainly doesn't think so.

 

[CiG]

Those pants are fucking horrible, glad they're rarely worn today, what the fuck were people thinking?

I get the comfort thing, but there are way better alternatives. Sweatpants, cargos, pyjama pants, anything!

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

Yeah, because comfort and shit tons of pockets are both really gay concepts.

Actually I doubt gay people would wear them since they usually have fashion sense. I got a pair for Christmas one time and they definitely weren't comfortable. They also look idiotic.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

JNCO jeans, yet another reason the purveyors of pop culture in the 90's should've been forcibly euthanized.

 

[MrTagoMago]

People acting as if fashion has improved since the 90s.

 

[CiG]

Or that it was great before the 90's.

....exhibit B

Agree to disagree I guess. To be fair, I have associated heavily with juggalos.
