Non-metal Themed Mixtape Game

[Vegard Pompey]

There are no shitty themes, only lazy interpretations and limited taste to accommodate the theme.

I don't agree at all, I think themes are uninteresting for instance if they are too restrictive (like most holiday-related themes) or so abstract they don't produce a cohesive playlist (musical irony etc.)

take this post except add non- before metal

I don't like metal's representations of the alcohol theme because most alcohol-themed metal I've heard is upbeat and festive, with a few exceptions like Saint Vitus and While Heaven Wept. Non-metal takes on the theme seem more interesting. As a theme it seems very universal and broad to me. That said I didn't like the playlist very much, but I blame that on the participants. That Kult song was so fucking bad, thanks EspaDa for submitting that stinker and then not even rating.

EDIT: Since this post starts a new page, let me reiterate that the new theme is LONELINESS.

I think your complaint about holiday themes is probably just as likely a product of your own limited interpretation of those themes. But also, which has happened to the Halloween and Musical Irony themes, I think they flopped mostly due to a sapped enthusiasm for these games in general.

The current metal theme's playlist is fantastic for example, yet it's quite dead regardless.

The musical irony theme failed because I overestimated the forum's collective musical IQ.

The new metal mixtape playlist is amazing and I feel bad for not rating it already, but I've been preoccupied with schoolwork, the Voivod discog poll and the 1998 poll.

tbh I'm getting overwhelmed with all these forum games and I'm kinda hoping the next year we do is one I'm uninterested in so I can take a hiatus (inb4 it's 1989 or something)

The next year is already decided as being 2017.

The musical irony theme failed because I overestimated the forum's collective musical IQ.

I tried pretty hard to choose a good song as well as an appropriately thematic song with Exit-13.

i was gonna submit this but decided against it cuz it’s an unfair instant-win

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Don't worry guys, his final submission is just as good.

Yeah you chose a very good one. The submissions were pretty good overall I thought tbh.

I'd give this at least a 6/10.

Submitted for the first time in over a year. Couldn't resist with that theme.

That song is great you grumpy! I only forgive you because you're Swedish.

Up to 7 submissions so far. Would like a couple more if possible.

@Satanstoenail do you want in on this?

I listened to it out of curiosity and I hated it. I'm not Swedish, so I guess that we can't be friends anymore.

I like being friends with women. You may also be forgiven.

[Vegard Pompey]

I know, I wanted to disqualify it but I couldn't deny Omni the chance to participate after being away from the forum for so long.

 

[CiG]

I will slap her if she chose that shit.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I think it's pretty obvious which song she chose.
