What's wrong with this guys?????

[CONCLAVE OBSCURUM]

Ehy, have you notice??... in order to be a good metal singer-lyric writer, you have to be:

1. Always depresed
2. You must have a really shity life with a lot of bad things hapening to you.
3. be depresed

Can you think in any other??? i bet you do...

...anyway, most of the times this guys come out with the best songs-lyrics. The onlyones who can actually change your mood with that unique feeling, -that only depresion can give you. -

 

[Demonic Rapture]

Eh, I guess it's because most metalheads aren't necessarily the happiest people in the world. And I guess sad, sorrowful lyrics are what people identify with, for the most part.


I know I do.

 

[CONCLAVE OBSCURUM]

Good one... and it's true.

But, why???

 

[MURAI]

.....I dont feel like listening to depressing songs all the time. Pantera makes some aggressive, fun songs like Revolution Is My Name and Mouth For War and I rather listen to that. Phil Anselmo does make some depressing or hateful songs though.

thats a rather silly generalization.

This is probably because most "metalheads" are intelligent and aware enough to realise how much life sucks.

that's an stereotype on metal lyrics

 

[LordFireworm]

The only metal lyrics I like are the ones that keep me amused and entertained like Macabre and Impaled.
I generally dont pay much attention to metal lyrics because (Like it or not) they're generally badly written.
Pig Destroyer write fucking incredible lyrics though.

 

[BTK]

no...Just listen to Cannibal Corpse.. They aren't depresed at all.. they are happy happy

Their lyrics are shit though.
I dont mean shit in a "They're so disgusting and they scare me way" either.
I mean badly written.

Maybe you're life sucks. i like the triumphant spirit of a lot of metal. sure i like my doom, but its more than just 'blah, i'm intelligent so life sucks' that's dumb. everyone has their shit, but you're outlook determines you deal with it. whatever though. to each their own.

and yes,.....pig destroyer writes badass lyrics. Jennifer rules..haha. and scatology homework.

 

[SoulVomitor]

I hate it when something shity hapens, it makes me depresed.

Fair enough, it was just a suggestion.

 

[Immortal Death]

...Actually, music doesn't make me depressed at all and I think you're making a pretty weak observation by saying that metal singers/lyricists are all depressed and have shitty lives... music makes me fucking happy, and I'm depressed without it, and I know there are many others that are the same way...

I disagree dude. I hate some kids that like the same music I do and they're pretty stupid.

 

[SculptedCold]

Yeah man, that's definately an unfair generalization. Even for nu-metallers. That's an ignorant, societal stereotype. I'm sure plenty of people are like that, but not enough to be a representational factor. It's just that humanity always takes more notice of the negative (just look at the news!) and the metal ideal appears, superficially, to be an epitome of negativity. Which, practically, isnt true, even if a lot of the original idealogy hinted to such.

 

[Stoner Rock Chick]

There are some amazing song writers and I don't think most of those people are depressed.

The tortured artist thing can sometimes get really annoying.
