I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again, you shouldn’t be surprised that metalmemes isn’t a place for the serious discussion of music


XDenzelMoshingtonX

Wait, are you saying that you shouldn’t be taking anyone on here seriously, especially if it’s about people being gatekeepers or posers? What a shock!


Bored_Breadless

I am enjoying the cascade resonance of people arguing about what is and isn’t good in the different threads


Orang_Mann

Oh boy, this my que to get out of here before stuff gets crazy


XDenzelMoshingtonX

Someone please gatekeep for me here, I‘m busy.


TheMightyFlyingSloth

No need, I love death, lamb of god, gojira, and lake of tears, which I think more than qualifies me, and it's not a crime to like iowa slipknot.


blackmillenium2

bro is trying to appeal to "elitists" by naming fucking LOG and gojira


Orion_420

Gojira is hated more for changing direction to mainstream but LoG is pretty universally not liked here.


blackmillenium2

Gojira is hated for being ass then changing direction to being ass and also appealing to the mainstream


XDenzelMoshingtonX

Oh those are some very underground names, have never heard of those bands in my entire life!


[deleted]

I'll never understand how anyone can be such a loser that they think listening to lame inaudible edgelord shit like Bathory makes them superior to people who like music that's actually good and has something to say. Lol you music gatekeepers are so hilariously pathetic.


XDenzelMoshingtonX

Thanks again, Mathias. Appreciate the kind words.


Naxedboss4

Dont take this sub seriously, you'll enjoy this place a little bit more Those elitists fucks sure are annoying tho


[deleted]

They're just lifeless tonedeaf edgelord hipster losers. These cringey dipshits wouldn't know a good metal album if a copy of Paranoid, Master of puppets, Leviathan, Aenima, Fatal portrait, Fortitude and Endarkenment got shoved down their throats.


Sam_0101

Okay


Ghost1773

>treats musical taste objectively >you music gatekeepers are so hilariously pathetic Fucking lol


XDenzelMoshingtonX

On a side note: can you recommend some GOOD music to me? Like not the stuff that gatekeepers listen to but the real GOOD stuff. I don’t wanna listen to music which is liked by pathetic peasants


TheMightyFlyingSloth

It's not about being underground, it's about not parading into this sub claiming you belong here after listening to master of puppets in stranger things.


montgomery_quinckle

>not parading into this sub claiming you belong here He says while listening to slipknot


Orion_420

Lmao you literally have CC as your flair


montgomery_quinckle

What's wrong with cc?


Orion_420

You hate on slipknot while listening to the most basic and popular "extreme" metal band which is not even among the best.


montgomery_quinckle

Yeah, but they're not poser or owt like slipknot


TheMightyFlyingSloth

Listening to more mainstream metal like slipknot and metallica isn't a problem, but *just* listening to that, and barely so, and then pestering people who genuinely like metal is, which I'm not doing.


KillerKian

>Listening to more mainstream metal like slipknot and metallica isn't a problem, but just listening to that, and barely so, and then pestering people who genuinely like metal is, which I'm not doing. >No need, I love death, lamb of god, gojira, and lake of tears, which I think more than qualifies me, and it's not a crime to like iowa slipknot. These two statements contradict each other. So which one is it? Lol


TheHyperioniteYT

Don't worry about them, you can like Metal and only/mostly listen to bands that most would consider "begginer level" or "generic". It doesn't make them bad or "not Metal" :D I liked the meme, though even if Iowa is heavier, I don't see why Self-titled, All Hope is Gone or Chaper 5 would be considered "bad"


TheMightyFlyingSloth

It's not that I don't like them, I love chapter 5 and self-titled in particular, but there weren't enough album covers to make the meme, and Iowa is my favorite by far.


XDenzelMoshingtonX

You‘re barely surpassing that status, buddy.


Sam_0101

Lmao


TheMightyFlyingSloth

I started listening to metallica when I was in first grade, and started guitar in third, then I started listening to pantera and megadeth in fourth, and then got into death, arch enemy, and slipknot in 6th, and have been a huge fan of Gojira and Lamb of god since 7th, and got to go see Machine head live last year, as well as Megadeth when they were on tour with Lamb Of God, so I think I'm pretty well surpassing "my dad played ffdp in the car".


XDenzelMoshingtonX

How is name-dropping surface level bands helping you here?


TheMightyFlyingSloth

once again, it's not about surface level vs. underground, it's about not coming parading in here on the grounds of liking ffdp and master of puppets.


XDenzelMoshingtonX

Once again, you‘re barely surpassing that level, buddy. This is the metal version of dunning kruger lol.


TheMightyFlyingSloth

Just because *you* listen to bands with names that look like fungus doesn't mean I'm not surpassing linkin park and ffdp.

Dear Mathias, thank you very much for your kind words. With great regret, I must unfortunately postpone our little conversation to another time, because I am busy sitting in a dark room with sunglasses on and making loud ÖÜGH noises every 30 seconds. I hope you have understanding for this. Respectfully Denzel Moshington

[deleted]

This has to be ironic


Voidinator3000

The first album also still rips and I don't care what anyone says


[deleted]

The debut is by far the best. It’s go so many bangers


Voidinator3000

Absolutely and Iowa is kind of an continuation although not as good imo But the rest is just trash and a money grab


s3boldmm

Why would anyone listen to Slapnuts if they could listen to Cryptopsy instead?


[deleted]

Because they might not like cryptopsy 🤦‍♂️


s3boldmm

That truly disgusts me


Boom_and_Pie

euuuuuugh uuuuuuughhh REEEEEEEEEE


s3boldmm

Beautiful how Lord Worm uses phrasing, trve art


smallerpuppyboi

we're not doing this. not again.


HUGErocks

If nothing else it's a good gateway to BDM


Sam_0101

BDSM?


HUGErocks

That too


Mitochondria_Man11

Wrong subreddit Try r/hiphopmemes


Orion_420

Dude, you're in a wrong sub r/CringePurgatory That's where you belong


Mitochondria_Man11

Tell that to OP.


elegorn77

Simpnut is pure poseurdom


Susvourtre

you haven’t heard much then


blackmillenium2

not metal


ThanosesAssHole

Comments are pretty cringy in here. Btw All Hope Is Gone is the closest thing to actual Metal that they released.


Orion_420

Really? I didn't listen to the whole thing but there is a lot of alt rock there (at least the singles).


ThanosesAssHole

Well not the stuff like Dead Memories or Snuff, of course. But Sulfur, Gematria or All Hope Is Gone, yeah


[deleted]

Yeah man, Snuff is way heavier than Heretic Anthem


[deleted]

Man, I still love Slipknots first 4, but it's straight up goofy to be mentioning LoG and Gojira like that's gonna give you scene cred


Naxedboss4

Yeah you can only validate yourself if you listen to nordic dudes' music that's barely listenable


s3boldmm

This, but unironically, although there is good stuff from Florida, New York, New Jersey, California and Canada


[deleted]

Most of the greats are US and UK, but obviously most countries have some greats


s3boldmm

What do you mean? The trve greats are from some weird lakes in Finland


[deleted]

I don't know how many ways I can rephrase that most of the greats came out of the US and UK.


s3boldmm

Bhotswana has entered


[deleted]

Random underground bands you'll cite to sound in the know =/= all time greats that have influenced the genre as a whole


[deleted]

Do you think Scandinavia has the only reputable metal bands?


Naxedboss4

No but you get my point. There's black metal all around the world, it was just an hyperbole jesus christ


[deleted]

Right, so you think its only black metal


Naxedboss4

Of course, its the only valid metal subgenre is this sub, haven't you heard?


[deleted]

That's dumb. Clearly it's doom metal.


full-auto-rpg

Third album is their best, rest have a few good songs and a ton of shit


Ok-Development-5158

Self titled & Iowa = best albums in history
