Metal "Elitists" SUCK. (Read the description)

To be clear, when I say "metal purist," I'm talking about people who only like extreme forms of metal, but aren't obnoxious about it. I know the typical definition of the term is completely different, but this is how I use it. I'm sorry if it upsets you for some reason.


Also, here's that Deathstars song I mentioned:

Core isnt metal except grindcore and thrashcore

[toadtheterrible]

@deathcoresucks1

Why not? Please explain yourself.

I'm not picking a fight; I actually want to know.

[fermisk]

dude not all black metal is complex, listen to Beherit !

[toadtheterrible]

@fermisk In general, black metal has a lot more going on then Nickelback. That's what I was getting at. I wasn't saying that all black metal bands are complex.

mate - your're so right - I mean I don't listen to mainstream pop and I can't stand certain artists but I don't make videos/channels or go on the artists to bas musicians I hate. It's just really sad and attention seeking. I mean what makes them think their opinion is right (its only music) or that it will change anything? And in terms of metal, apart from possibly deathcore or post hardcore, its ALL the same thing - nobody has to like a certain genre in order to fit in.

[toadtheterrible]

@2Koranteng Eh... ranting about bands is alright, because you can study a single band enough to make a conclusion on whether they're good or not.

However, ranting about genres is what this video is about, and I'm glad you agree with me.

What is truly killing metal is the fact that metal elitists fear the mainstream. You can't fear the mainstream, you have to become it. Underground has become a thing of the past. The only bands that are still underground are either just getting started, or are awful in every way. Any band with a social network profile (which most bands nowadays have) automatically kills its status as "Undeground". The age of technology has done away with that.

listen dude, deathcore fucking sucks. but its still metal. metalcore fuckin sucks ass, but its still metal

[MattMan276hemi]

holy shit what a fat ass

[kanev7]

Dude how old are you 5 you are being an idiot i like and yet this pisses me off if you like industrial metal thats ok but everyone is entitled to an opinion you probably hate bands that i like i wouldnt post a fucking stupid were have no good points

[rebelleader123]

look at this fag trying to talk all tough. his balls probably haven't even dropped yet lol

[ratpimp1]

you are 15 years old! I have been metal for 20 fucking years we make fun of you floppy haired stupid asses who have no clue about "metal" you make up what ever rule that fits what you think is against the mainstream, shut the fuck up and love music and quit being a shallow minded lil fuck its music and enjoy it!

[Jonesyntube]

Agruing metal is like agruing religion and politics, it gets you nowhere...except banging your head against the wall trying to prove your point, but at least your headbanging!!! ;)

[MoonlapseOpethian]

@iAMVyt So true! However, not everything can be mainstream at once. If everything's popular, than what is?

I'm sure there is a real definiton of "mainstream" but I don't consider bands like "Shadows Fall" all that mainstream, Sure, a couple of songs by them may hit the radio or end up on Guitar Hero 2, but untill it gets post We Are Not Alone Breaking Benjamin, or Vol. 3 Slipknot popular, I don;t consider it mainstream.

But that's just me.

[MoonlapseOpethian]

@toadtheterrible Core is short for Hardcore, which isn't considered "real metal"

That's just the way it is. Metalcore is heavy metal/hardcore and as long as it leans more to the metal than the core, it's "real metal"

Deathcore is "Death" which is metal, and "Hardcore"

If it leans closer to death, it's considered "real metal"

The reason why some people hat it anyway is the simplicity of most of it. "chuga chuga chuga chuga" isn't enough in comparison to... say... "Jotun" by IF

[ThroatShredder]

I really hate your hair style but you make a good point. If I hate any fan base more than any others it would have to be Hardcore fags or Black Metal purist/elitists.

metal elitists suck because they look down on lets say disturbed fans and think themselves as high and mighty because they listen to "pure" metal...which is stupid...i think nu metal fans should listen to some maiden or 80s metallica etc but i dont think of em as lesser than me...i only look down on lady gaga and beiber fans because they r pathetic

[effu68]

deathcore is not metal because its an extreme subgenre of hardcore punk...punk is not metal...metal elitists suck...but i do understand why people cant accept some nu metal bands as metal...example linkin park, limp bizkit...how metal is turntables and rap verses...disturbed is/was nu metal too but they dont have turntables or rap verses...plus they got me into metal...still they suck...
