>>64753266
>metal
whatever, as long as they eventually get into better bands and realize sunbather isn't metal
It's closer to "I'm not normally into metal, but..." core
>>64753302
That's the joke.
>>64753327
yeah metal threads on /mu/ outside of the general are cringe tier. Filled with unironic posts like "I'm not normally into metal except btbam, deafheaven mastodon, baroness, converge, etc."
>>64753327
that's usually what I tell people before I try showing them this
>>64753266
>just because its pink its not metal
>>64753413
>Just because it has harsh vocals it's metal
>>64753413
you have no idea what you're talking about, there are almost no metal riffs on that album. it's post rock with shoegaze elements and screamed vocals. i've heard their latest album is a little more metal tho
>>64753381
>unironically complaining about people unironically liking converge
>>64753440
the tremolo picking and fast drumming make it metal to
>>64753413
It's screamogaze.
>>64753447
> there are almost no metal riffs on that album
What's a metal riff?
>listens to Sunbather once
>>64753450
not complaining about people liking converge. I like converge. I am complaining about the people who say metal sucks except for the most entry-level gateway bands like the ones I mentioned earlier.
>>64753470
Again, you have no idea what you're talking about, i really hope this is bait
>>64753476
Pretty sure Title Fight are screamogaze
>>64753499
what the fuck
>>64753499
hey guys pewdiepie here
>>64753494
it's a riff that brings you closer to the haptic void.

How is this any different?
What the fuck are you plebs on about? There's an established name for this type of music, feckin blackgaze.
>>64753524
>>64753529
pretty sure he did it ironically
>>64753499
Welp
>>64753557
blackgaze doesn't have breakdowns and screamo vocals about relationship issues, it's screamogaze
>>64753546
yep, this is bait
this is my favorite metal band desu. They are solid. I don't really understand the hate, I'm guessing it's from people who aren't really used to the genre
>>64753413
That didn't stop Bulldozer from being one of the best speed bands of all time
>>64753381
/metal/ isn't less cringe, just terrible in a different way
>>64753608
not subtle enough, leave that for youtube comments.
>>64753600
the only difference between those two songs is that there's effects on Deafheaven's instruments.
>>64753546
darkthrone is good
>>64753649
and dicks in Deafheaven's mouths.
>>64753654
They're both pretty trash to be honest. I guess thats why I have an unbiased ear when it comes to this kind of shit
>>64753735
>i have no idea about metal so my opinion is unbiased
That's true, great argument
>>64753735
no you're just biased in favor of having dicks in your ears.
>>64753754
You apply genres based on aesthetic and not sound, which is retarded. Deafheavan are clearly a metal band.
>>64753797
Deafheaven are blatantly screamogaze, did you even read the thread?
>>64753440
It also has heavy distortion, extended guitar solos, roots in blues/psychedelic music, emphatic/aggressive beats, and generally high-tempo playing. Just because you don't like it or it incorporates elements of other genres into a metal context doesn't mean it isn't, by definition, metal.
>>64753836
>Screamogaze
its black metal with shoegaze-tier effects
>>64753859
no, but the fact that it's not metal prevents it from being anything more than
>>64753836
>>64753859
>>64753870
it's called blackgaze you dumb fucks
>>64753619
nice, good call. its really odd when people generalize that metalheads on /mu/ all listen to the namedrops here >>64753381 but i often see people posting great examples of real metal e.g. bulldozer.
do people just ignore post that contain actual classic metal and just close their eyes and just pretend metalheads are listening to baroness and converge?
>>64753884
>now im just le trolling becuz i was wrong
>>64753870
>black metal with shoegaze-tier effects
it's screamo with shoegaze-tier effects
>>64753888
I usually post in /metal/, someone just linked this thread, I don't normally post on /mu/ with very few exceptions
>>64753887
making it metal
check out this black metal band I just discovered. black beasts, tremolos, harsh vocals, the list goes on..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dYAJ1t7-J8
>>64753943
but not black
>>64753916
I didn't know you were trolling me, I thought you were genuinely retarded by stating that such vague sound characteristics as those you mentioned could only apply to metal.
>>64753943
making it shoegaze
>uses "it's not metal" as criticism
opinion discarded
>>64753321
>whatever, as long as they eventually get into better bands
so then i guess they'd have to stop listening to metal.
>>64753918
>just because he le screams its screamo
>>64753943
>>64753966
both wrong
>>64753476
>>64753992
weak b8 friend
>It's a pitchfork hipsters have to talk about metal that isnt ulver or deafheaven episode
>>64753966
wrong, its an 'evolved' form of black metal
>>64754001
>just because it le goes fast it's metal
>>64753989
How about "it sounds weak, it's super repetitive, and it fails to convey a vivid atmosphere"
If you really want to know why Deafheaven isn't metal refer to this interview with Mirai Kawashima from the band Sigh (play from 0:01)

>>64754037
i never really understand why this shit happens all the time
>>64754047
IT'S THE NEXT LOGICAL STEP BROOOOOO!!!!!
>>64754047
insofar as crunkcore is an evolved form of hardcore punk and hip-hop
You are not even into grammar.

funny
>>64754162
it's the metal general on /mu/ >>64751617
it has been very shitty in recent months however
I'm not typically into metal but I like all those records people who don't typically like metal like
Baroness, Mastodon, Boris, Kylesa, thrash-era Metallica, Dillinger, High on Fire, etc.
I don't like the aesthetic associated with most metal. It feels try-hard and cartoonish, like Slayer - "Raining Blood", "Angel of Death", even the band name. Shit is cheesy as fuck
>>64754332
please keep your posts about the latest indie rock albums and trap rap mixtapes and refrain from commenting on heavy music ever again, thanks
>>64754332
>try-hard
and it succeeds hard.
Sounds to me like your thing is buttrock that's slightly more elaborate than the rest of buttrock.
>>64754413
god bless your attempt at categorising me, it was wildly inaccurate
>>64754420
shit is edge-lord tier cringe
stay insecure about your tastes lads, just because a stranger on the internet doesn't like the records you like
>>64754136
is that fantano's girlfriend
>>64754186
>I don't normally post on /mu/
no seriously doesnt a metal thread still constitute as a part of /mu/?
is a metal general thread always up?
am i supposed to just search on the catalog for "metal" and therefore I might as well call it /metal/
>>64754332
>>64754478
>I discount entire genres of music because of aesthetics and image rather than the actual music
stay pleb son
>>64754478
hey dude we're just exchanging opinions and critiquing them.
>shit is edge-lord tier cringe
You know what's actually cringeworthy? using "cringe" as an adjective like you just stumbled out of a Leafy rant and thought that his mannerisms were cool.
But to the point, you have to realize that "edge-lord" is supposed to refer to people who try to be like Slayer and fail.
If you don't, you're gonna end up dismissing school shootings as "just tryhard teenage shit", thereby trying too hard to showcase how jaded you are by violence.
Which is what edgelords do.
anyone who says that deafheaven is black metal is either retarded or doesn't know a jack shit about black metal or metal in general

what do you think thats says about those records?
metalheads hate them and non metal heads like them. hmmmm... could it be because they arent actually metal albums?
>>64753499
must be why I could never get into these dudes.
>>64754537
There is a thread up 24/7 pretty much yes
>>64754605
Slayer is goofy as fuck fampai
If you can't see this you are beyond reason
>>64754854
It's just horror, dude. It ain't goofier than the Texas chainsaw massacre or the death of Achilles.

if you've never carved slayer into your forearm, you're a poser
this is black metal

this is screamo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH36n97-ujE
deafheaven is screamo with blast beats not black metal
>>64754136
>black people wearing Burzum shirts
Krallice did hipster black metal much, much better.
So did Wolves In The Throne Room for that matter.
black metal ---> black gaze <--- shoe gaze

Literally who the fuck actually thinks this
>>64753546
it sounds like someone added blast beats and shrieked vocals to an indie rock song.
>>64754332
all those bands you listed are good as fuck bro theres more like them
