No I didn't say any of us are debating about one genre being better than the other, I just threw it out there in order to avoid any of that stuff after my post because it may have sounded like I was trying to crap-talk black metal.
Yeah I know that it is a little silly to dismiss an entire genre just because of the actions of some individuals but dude... EVERYONE I know that listens to black metal are seriously strange people. They are weird, keep to themselves and never meet any new people, they're so locked up in their own world. And every black metal dude I have met somehow that I DON'T know are also acting the same way. So therefore, my judgements are based on what I have personally seen IRL, and I just feel that it doesn't fit me. I'm sort of paranoid that I'll end up like them if I start listening to BM, haha
No but seriously, the music itself is just too unappealing for me, I can't help it.
You might still think I'm silly for thinking this way but anyway
