Back in my day, our bands played at eardrum bursting decibels with subliminal messages worshiping Satan that encouraged suicide. THAT was metal. Man, kids these days...
Metal is often scolding and condescending. Lamb of God, System of a Down were two of my favorite bands in high school; the music is amazing but the lyrics are so condescending and cringe. Especially System. Guys who know little-to-nothing about geopolitics talking about the Iraq war and cults of personality. Please. Also, people like Rage against the Machine. Musicians who think they know the first fucking thing about politics.
Yeeeah, thats a good point and great examples. Great music from naïve hypocrites. Even Cake, while not metal, was great music and now its just cringey FB memes.
Scold Metal, the newest sub-genre. Like most metal, it’ll make your ears bleed but this time it won’t be the good way.
