>Is it just because they don't know how to play the guitar?

I'm convinced a fair amount of Metalheads don't, either. A lot of acclaimed guitarists in Metal are pretty shitty songwriters OR just plain shitty guitarists. Chuck in particular is one of the most overrated guitarists of all time. Masvidal and LaRocque (especially LaRocque) ran rings around him.

If you are really getting in to it, Metal can exhausting. The distortion and overall loudness on the mix is punishing on my ears over long periods of time. Again, it's the mix, turning it lower on the speaker doesn't reduce the strain.

I loved metal as a teen but i just can't listen to metal for hours at a time anymore. It's just this infrequent reward i give myself when i need a pick me up.

People that exclusively listen to metal and hardcore music are for the most part huge pussies/autists

Metal has always been a hyper masculine genre of music. i suppose these people need to get this masculine aggression out somehow. Metal is their outlet. It's fast, heavy, and abrasive, which attracts its target audience (pussies)

Also saying metal is "too complex for the feeble minds of society's sheeple" is retarded because most of the most popular metal is in verse/chorus form. a typical rebuttal to this increadible revolution goes as follows
>muh Necrophagist

Don't even get me started on the "metal is modern classical music" meme. That phrase is thrown around by metal heads in an attempt to prove that their favorite genre is worth some weight

All in all, metal isn't that bad tho.

People who strictly listen to metal area bunch of try hard cunts. I was that kid all the way up until I was 19 and looking back I was a giant douchebag. I would hear other genres of music and secretly like it but not listen to it like some pretentious bitch.
Metal heads act like they're most special form of life in the universe all because they listen to metal and don't "conform to mainstream culture". Get the fuck outta hear, listening to Manowar doesn't make you special it makes you a fucking faggot.
Not to mention metal heads are butthurt elitist fucks, have you ever tried talking to some of those faggots? Pro tip, you can't because everything you like fucking sucks and you're a poser. They act like metal is the most difficult fucking thing in the world to play, like you have to be a fucking alchemist to play melodic death metal. Yeah dude blast beats you guys are fucking wizards.

"In theory, metal is today's real rock and roll--the music of the people. It's basic, it's rude, kids love it, parents hate it. But the closer you look, the stupider and more delusory it seems. Metal isn't basic--it cultivates a pseudo-virtuosity that negates content. The dreams it promulgates are usually foolish and often destructive. Eighty per cent of the "people" who like it are male, and 98 per cent of them are white."

Because its bound to be shit. When an artist makes art it has to be personal. With the image of brutality, violence and tough guys (needless to say 99% of them are really nice cool guys), it almost always, if you are not a true psychopath like burzum, it almost always comes off as pretense, dettached vacant pretense. Metal is wrestling of music. And wrestling is for kids and some undeveloped adults

Whats wrong with metal is the culture and cupping the mic to do those absurd demon growls without clarity. Lyrics are typically so juvenile they leave the uninitiated feeling ... idunno, look, smart folks can rarely enjoy it. The elitism is tacky as noted.

Generally speaking, older people dislike loud music and sound in general because of age-related loss of high frequency hearing. This tends to result in the rhythm section of a song sounding much louder than the vocals/lead instruments which causes you to hear this almost headache-inducing WUM WUM WUM that may not be as perceptible to a 16 year old.

Of course if you have a predisposition against certain music types to begin with, you tend to perceive them as louder than they actually are.

Putting aside all the memes and trolling the honest answer is that it's not a very accessible or relatable genre, populated by a lot of bands that are what the average person (or even music enthusiast) would call 'edgy' or 'trying too hard' or just plain goofy and silly. Moreover, the tempo and mood of the music is usually pretty fast and aggressive, and not in the 'getting pumped up' way like a lot of hard-edged hip-hop songs.The fact that a lot of metal singers are usually either in the swords & sorcery tight-leather-pants-and-girly-voice camp, or the "FUCKING CORPSES RAINING BLOOD" camp doesn't help either. It's not exactly relatable rock n roll like Creedence Clearwater Revival or something.

What's great about metal is when it sort of transcends the tropes and can deliver fast, intricate, catchy compositions with powerful vocal deliveries. It's a blood-pumping and impressive style of music when delivered appropriately. There is a reason that Metallica has a lot of mainstream appeal and success, even if people prefer the Black Album to Kill Em All.

Basically metal is a victim of the tropes that define it in a lot of ways, and its reputation for being angsty teenagers is exactly because it is listened to by angsty teenagers.

Personally, I like a lot of metal songs but I can't possibly call myself a metalhead or anything like that. A lot of metal bands are not interesting to me because they don't do anything new or particularly interesting. The subculture doesn't appeal to me whatsoever.

That being said, Aces High is in my opinion one of the best metal songs, and a really great song in general. It's the quintessential good metal song. It moves quickly, it's very economical, it's not self-indulgent, and it just pours out catchy, interwoven riffs, and demonstrates both good songwriting and musicianship.

>>
>>65631008
name me one then. pro tip: for someone who actually knows something about music theory, composition, and music history, dream theater isn't complex.

also, i'm guessing you can't listen by ear because the average metal fan's music experience comes from listening to amon amarth, burzum, etc., so you wouldn't be able to hear the difference between a random series of arpeggios following rudimentary, primitive chord progressions, vs an actual song. if you're gonna try to argue that avenged sevenfold doesn't have musical complexity, more so than pretty much 90% of KNOWN metal bands, you're just literally wrong. there is no subjectivity about it. you just don't know anything about music and just have no clue how wrong you are, because the literal notes themselves can't change.

that being said, i can't advocate for avenged sevenfold being a fantastic band, because just because it's complex, doesn't mean it's good.

I don't really find that song edgy, it's more just a generic "long time rocker reflecting back on his career" song.
>>
Besides, Youthanasia is just generic 90s alt rock. It's barely even "metal".

i agree. back in the 90s, my grandmother used to hate my alternative rock CDs but if I played the same songs on acoustic, she enjoyed a lot of them. it was more the loud, crunchy guitars than the words she couldn't get past.

Because, even in 2016 when the individual is deified and feelings are the new religion, people still think anger is only for immature people who can't control themselves. Anger is associated with you, so if you're angry you're literally acting like a child in most people's minds.

Which is why most blues albums are made by older people. Being sad when you're a kid makes you a little bitch, but being sad when you're an adult and should have a superior skill set to deal with life makes you soulful and sagacious.

So, angry sounding music=lol kids these days

Yes but in the 80s, there was no Internet so most US-based critics had almost no access to anything beyond major label releases. There was a whole world of amazing music out there in Japan, Brazil, and Germany but nobody in America ever knew about it.

Some metal isn't like what you are describing.
Take this song for instance. The concept is 1980s rock with all the cheese and excess that came with it, from a modern day prog metal lens. It's a masterpiece in all honesty.

I taught myself guitar (not to a high standard but I can play indie mucore shit) and spent a few years learning jazz drumming.

Metal is still trite garbage.

That really sounds like a metalfag thing to do though.

It's theatrical and goofy and not about things that actually happen in real life. People don't wanna act like kids unless it's obvious to everyone that they're doing in on purpose and it has some kind of 'mature' context to it.
