Faggoth?

[ubiquitos]

i dont really care to much about classifying bands into genres, but ive heard the term faggoth used alot lately and am curious about what , exactly, it is, and also which bands are considered to be in this genre?

 

[Oceanic Motion]

Faggoth = Fag Goth?

 

[Black Winter Day]

dimmu borgir
cradle of filth
old man's child
susperia

and such

it's typical asshole metalhead talk, "faggoth", how clever

 

[Varulv]

I don't even think I've ever seen that word said anywhere. Shows how much I pay attention. I doubt I'd ever use that term anyway, I just call said bands, 'crap'.

i'd agree that would be a more acceptable term.

It's what a dude with a lisp sounds like when saying Bal Sagoth

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Wouldn't that be Bal-Thagoth?

 

[anonymousnick2001]

I fucking hate that term. "Faggoth."

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

It makes the person saying it sound stupider, actually.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

No argument there.

Call it melodic black metal or something.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

At the risk of starting such a thread, I think the definition of black metal needs to change.

ahh, so its just metal that sounds like black metal but doesnt have the ideology behind it.

No, it's music that takes all the image of black metal, but is typically rock music at the core.

 

[AsModEe]

rock music??? To me, rock music is more like Kiss or something,...

 

[anonymousnick2001]

They don't know what they're talking about.

lol, calling cradle of filth a black metal band is kinda funny, however, a local radio station was playing H.I.M. today (which shocked me), and they called them a "death metal band from norway". I nearly pissed myself. I think thats funnier, hehe. First of all His Infernal Majesty is NOT death metal, they are like goth metal. Secondly they are from Finland, not Norway.

I actually like H.I.M, I cant listen to them all the time, but once in a while ill put them on, just a change of pace.

and i think the term "tree" should change into meaning "a long, slow fart" instead of those things that grow out of the ground

Most people who use the term "faggoth" use it to define symphonic black metal (Emperor, Dimmu Borgir, etc...). Generally I think the term ("faggoth") is pretty asinine ... says more about the person who uses it than it says about the bands that they are talking about.
