That’s fair if you grew up in the US and I understand that it is likely that a good number in the community did as well but that wasn’t my experience. Maybe stretch your imagination further than your own borders and things will seem less odd.
No hate here, everyone is entitled to their opinion. You brought up good points and I felt the same way you did for a while but I figure there’s some things we can move past
In places where metal is part of the culture as a birthplace it’s easy to forget that metal might be prolific but it hasn’t saturated every market yet.
Hands down my favorite track by Metallica. I’m going to check out those bands you mentioned. Always looking for new tunes
Great music is honestly everywhere, for the longest time I shunned country music as not for me until I heard her. Gave me appreciation for entire genre that I now enjoy
Truly encapsulates my experience in exploring the genre. To be fair though once you start diving into the random alternative side of any music there’s a chance you could end up in a dark corner with killer beats. Happened to me the other day when I sat down and really analyzed the lyrics to a band I liked in my youth only to realize they were overtly militaristic and religious in nature.
At the core of this disagreement is the argument for better being represented as the number zero or pi. Maybe we don’t actually disagree but agree for such different reasons that it seems like we have opposing opinions
Well it’s like this from what I can gather better doesn’t exist for you because we all have differing opinions of better, in this way better could be defined as the number zero because anything times the number zero is zero and therefore mutually exclusive. On the other hand I see better as an infinite number like pi, within it all the different definitions of better can exist concurrently. One way or another these opposing viewpoints both lead to the same conclusion, appreciation for the subjectivity of better. Like I said in the end you and I agree but for such radically different reasons that it seems like we disagree.
Interesting piece, not the easiest listening but the visuals really helped tie it together. I especially liked the hoods they were wearing, reminded me of art by René Margritte. I can however fully appreciate a powerful and raw voice and this has it in spades
