Metal for the Parents

[Mort Divine]

Of course bands can be wrong about their own music you moron. Many nu-metal bands call themselves metal, and many metalcore bands call themselves death metal.

Get over yourself - you obviously don't know anything about emo if you can't see something as fucking simple as Envy being emo.

 

[Alter]

Right. A band is wrong about their own music. You get more fucking stupid by the second.

You know that is possible.

What if Nortt labeled them selfs as super-fast crossover thrash? Would he be right?

 

[Hubster]

Possible of course, but common, no. If anything, a commercial band might try to market themselves as something they're not, but a band like Envy, who are on a respected indie label and have a close relationship with bands like Mogwai? I don't think so somehow. Labels like that have a clear vision of the rosters they want to cater for a specific style or artistic direction. Emo (in today's representation) doesn't fit that.

 

[Mort Divine]

Who gives a shit about TODAY'S REPRESENTATION of emo. The mid-80s definition is still the correct one, and guess what - Envy fits that.

 

[Faint]

I like Circle Takes The Square and City Of Caterpillar if they are classed as emo. :|

 

[skeptik]

So then Mercyful Fate is Black Metal.

 

[Alter]

So then Mercyful Fate is Black Metal.

Yes, they are! For the last fucking time we get it!

 

[skeptik]

Not everyone does.

 

[Alter]

I know. I was just joking around.

 

[False Joe]

Mercyfiul fate are black metal?

How does that work? Not trying to start a conflict.
Just askin

 

[skeptik]

Go lay down you retard.

 

[CAIRATH]

The last page of this thead hurts my face.

 

[Zephyrus]

So then Mercyful Fate is Black Metal.

I think you just opened that can of worms again.

Mercyful Fate is Black Metal. End of discussion.

[Zephyrus]

Lame.

 

[Zephyrus]

So when they came up with that band name, did they intentionally spell it with a "y"? Or was it a spelling error? Not sure how prevalent English literacy was in Denmark back then.
