Location: Mexico right winged people and other suckers in metal music
I wonder why lately many right winged people (including racist) are getting into Heavy Metal in general. In the past days there was no room for such crap since Metal stands againts all what right wing (and extreme left wing) suports to.
I have always taken Metal as a way to make people more intelligent, but it seems that many newer fans (and some olde ones as well) only goal in Metal is to be more stupid and intolerant. As I see it, most of this crap comes from the trendy norwegian Black "Metal", but it seems to reach other Metal styles as well.
So, I wonder also if Metal music is turning into a birthplace for right winged people and why this is happening

here was my response:
Oh no the right wingers are coming...what are we gonna do!!??
waawaawaa...why don't you cry about it?
If you were as "tolerant" as you say they should be you wouldn't have your panties in a bunch in the first place. Who the FUCK decieded heavy metal had to be anti-conservative?
Here's a little list of all the rad musicians I know of that voted for Bush in 04. Billy Milano, Dave Mustaine (yes, you read that right!!), Lee Ving from FEAR(who back in the 80's was referred to by Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedy's as a "fascist"), and Jeff Hanneman of Slayer...There are many more too. I myself am a conservative independant.
It never ceases to amaze me how conservative-haters preach tolerance...but you see only tolerance for what they believe...if it isn't liberal you don't have to tolerate it...in other words...liberals tolerate everything...except anything that isn't liberal...
So, I think you are in for more dread and pain in the future because conservatives are strong in metal and punk...and we will never die!!
So what do you think guys? Some liberals in the metal community are AFRAID of the new wave of conservatism. Ohh well, too damn bad for them, right!
