Underground Metal culture ain't much better.

Because mainstream culture is a refuge for the weak minded. They can just go with the flow and do what everyone else is doing with the minimum of thought involved.

I watched some of that "100 most metal moments" show on VH1. Bunch of shitty nonmetal bands and idiots claiming they were metal

 

[Scourge of Malice]

^HA I've been watching that crap too. It's all a bunch of hair bands. Theres a few exceptions but they aren't even trying to delve into the underground.

Solution: Stop watchinv VH1.

They did have Mayhem and Gorgoroth, but they completely raped all of the facts that had to do with Varg, and kept calling them both Death Metal bands.

edit: missed the post above

but calling Gorgoroth and Mayhem death metal is just sad

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Well atleast they tried... I guess...

I hope they don't start talking about nu-metal

Wow, when I watched it they the only good stuff they was about 3.5 seconds of Slayer spread throughout the show.

The funniest part was that Zeppelin was in the top 3, and the guys in the band have specifically stated they aren't metal
