Metal's Most Maligned Sub-Genres (And The People That Listen To Them)

They are all good if you are a teenager or relapsing into teenageness.

Oh yeah wait I forgot: teen bands ALWAYS sing about stuff like politics, genocide, and the nature of the human condition, don't they just? And of course all the other bands you like that "sing" about the finer points of dissecting and/or raping corpses, or about kissing Satan's ugly red ass, that's really much more mature and adult-like behaviour, right? Your witless statements are highly amusing, keep the funny mindless shit coming, son.
 
First, krampus is a female. She has this thing called a vagina. You'll learn about it when you get to the seventh grade.


ITT NN gets butthurt about everything... again.
 


I heard this on my car radio once... I nearly swerved into a tree to make it stop.

Video is fairly child molestorish too. :/

I've heard his solo work and his S.O.A.D. work are light years apart, that's why, and it's S.O.A.D. that this discussion revolves around....
 
System of a Down is actually just a shitty fucking band. I listen to plenty of metal that is "amateurish" lyrically and musically so that point is irrelevant.

S.O.A.D has more creativity and originality than a lot of the metal that is sometimes bandied around here, much of it just being one band trying to copy others, not really doing anything different or interesting or unique. Enter S.O.A.D. with a unique metal performance style that was (in the beginning) as fresh a morning breeze in an old stuffy library. Naturally some open-minded people, jaded with the run-of-the-mill norm, became big fans of this new unique kind of metal. But of course the traditionalists still sit back in the their imaginary well-worn thrones of repetition, staunchly and dogmatically decreeing that good metal can only be performed in this way and no other. Just goes to show that metal institutions and adherents can sometimes be as rigid and close-minded as those they often mock.
 
Give it up Nocturnal Nemesis. You seem to be the only person that hasn't realized that SOAD were a nu-metal band that suckered people in by being "unique" which actually meant playing random things and having dumb vocals along with their chuggy nu metal riffs.

I trust your throne over there is still very comfortable, right? :lol:
 
Sorry, but SOAD's political commentary is about as hackneyed as it gets, but it's dressed up in a "clever" and "unique" presentation. It appeals to teenagers, teenagers understand it, it's for teenagers.
 
I DO hate Hair Metal with a passion, but it's not the same for Nu Metal and Metalcore. I do not know this genres at all (I know only Slipknot and Korn for Nu, and Trivium for Metalcore), but the few bands I know are not bad.
