Metal isn’t popular anymore
Good. Metal must remain underground
evendoe sleep token is saving metal
I went to a Machine Head show last year and there was only like 25 people there
And thats a great thing.
Metalfags are akin to trannies
long hair
smell bad
think their way is the only way
metal is the most incomprehensibly fetishized and popular slipknot plays arenas
need another album like The Black Album or Vulgar Display of Power to help lift the rising tide again
Wrong
not metal
not music
This whole R&B with Djent production thing that's being pushed right now is so fucking cringe.
fpbp
sometimes i fantasize its the 80s and metal rules the world and also i have a hot metal gf
i wish it were the 80s
i wish we could be happy
The best thing about metal is that it wasn’t R&B
/thread and check'd
its for the better, if metal were to reach the mainstream in this day and age it would first have to compromise what makes it special to begin with
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen
80s and metal rules the world
it was basically underground at the time, the exceptions were early 90s (Metallica) and nu metal (98-03)
its nerd music now. I can't take it seriously
Somehow hipsters turned the manliest music into skinny, balding, pale, white people music. Dire.
nigger hair metal was like the zeitgeist, thrash metal only came as a reaction
Bon Jovi is metal
all those guys are more metal than you
thrash metal only came as a reaction
also, what? glam metal became mainstream in 83 (Quiet Riot)
skid row, motley crue, def leappeard, guns and roses, etc
you are an idiot if you think metal in the 80s was just bon jovi
christ, the level of discourse here is at absolute rock bottom now
I saw meshuggah the other night on 5 grams of mushrooms. Had a great time. Its not that deep. I agree everything has gone in a very pussy direction though
Knocked Loose was on Jimmy Kimmel, so it's not like it's gone completely underground. Plus some of the more poppy mental bands are stadium-status-esque. And of course a band like Metallica still sells out arenas, but they're more of a legacy act. But my favorite types of metal, like death metal or black metal, were never very popular in the first place. A band like Cannibal Corpse, which is as mainstream as death metal gets, only sells a couple thousand tickets per show. So it's not like I really care that much, because if I did, I wouldn't listen to this kind of music in the first place.
anymore
digits don't lie. OP is a gaf
those bands only called themselves metal to sound edgy.
I woke up one day and realized Midwestern Emo just died. Pretty sad desu.
BMTH is the only good artist on here. Sleep Token has 2 good songs and that's it.
knocked loose isn't metal, it's hardcore
Metal was never supposed to be popular. It’s for the best, the scene is creative and thriving at the moment and there are less normies going to shows
Every mainstream metal band and genre was just pop music but with distorted guitars.
Embrace the underground.
