what does /mu/ have to say about this insightful piece of prose from metalinsider?
http://www.metalinsider.net/guest-blog/on-being-transgender-in-the-metal-community
>I really like A Day to Remember, if I tell that to someone, or go to a show wearing a ADTR shirt, am I going to have to risk getting smashed in the face because I didn’t wear my Pantera-Slayer-Megadeth-What-the-Fuck-Ever shirt?
>Being transgender in the metal community means growing up with an admiration for Marilyn Manson, but then realizing that he isn’t there for you, he’s there for himself. It means that when you paint your nails for the first time, your dad will accuse you of falling in line with shock rockers when in fact you’re trying to express femininity. I’m not some Alice Cooper/Marilyn Manson/Ozzy Osbourne wannabe. I am a woman. But the heavy metal community hasn’t exactly fully addressed its misogyny problem, let alone its transphobia problem.
bumping this for the potential luls
this might legitimately be the worst thing ever

I am triggered.
This belongs in the cringe thread for sure.
>>66439228
is there a current cringe thread or is this honorary cringe thread?
Oh no.
Oh, no no no.
This is happening. This is actually fucking happening. I don't know whether to laugh or bash my head into the nearest wall. Kinda want to do both. It's not even the sentiment that gets me, it's just the sheer futility of it all.
Oh cool, more political shitposts
Honestly guys, is this satire? I can't tell
>>66439295
I don't think anyone thinks this is bad for political reasons. I mean some do, but that's way besides the point.
>>66439105
It's only scary because of how shit their taste is.
>>66439346
Yeah, it's fucking annoying and absolutely untrue when people say metal has a problem with racism. Literally NOBODY agreed with Phil Anselmo during that whole debacle.
>>66439374
>Yeah, it's fucking annoying and absolutely untrue when people say metal has a problem with racism
I mean, there are plenty of black metal acts that would disagree with you. As a whole though, yeah I agree. The fact that she's trans has nothing to do with why this is bad, it's absolutely every single other part of it.
>>66439363
thanks mydude
>>66439421
Yeah there are pockets like NWN!, and certain types of black metal tend to be more racist.
>>66439421
>I mean, there are plenty of black metal acts that would disagree with you.
NSBM outside of NSBM circles is fairly poorly received though. People will accept pretty much any other kind of explicit hatred in BM lyrics, but racist lyrics turn a lot of people off. Hell, unless you've already made a big name for yourself in spite of NSBM leanings (e.g. Branikald) you're not going to end up on a regular black metal label. You have to stay within NS distributions where you're tolerated.

It feels like this thread exists entirely to justify the article.

this article exists for one thing only

It doesn't matter, men playing loud music and looking threatening is going to trigger the shaking squad regardless of content.

wish fulfillment for edgy teenage boys is somehow more acceptable than catharsis for angsty teenage girls

i mean sure, Whitechapel and SS are just as bad as anything on the bottom. hell they wouldn't seem out of place there at all, lmao

Same, the difference is I have better taste in metal, and music general compared to you :)
>>66440197
also
>tuneless garbage
>something has to have a "tune" to be good
alrighty anon, whatever you say, have fun with that tuneful death grips
>>66440194
deathcore and slam are literally the same monotone, grey-ass bullshit, don't kid yourself
>>66440210
dg do at least have hooks they build each of their tracks around, though
slam is kind of catchy on a moment-to-moment basis but each and every one of those triplet chugs is exchangeable with one another, hell each and every band is (which is as true for metalcore and pop punk, tbf)
>>66440251
>which is as true for metalcore
confirmed no idea what they're talking about

>tfw b&ering about whether slam is trash when i'm da nigga who made an introductory chart two years ago
>>66440279
true true, got me good. the genre does have more of a history and thus more variety than slam, i was just set on the scene that op's pic showcases so yeee
>>66440251
>triplet chugs = slams
guess again
>>66440326
>tfw never fully gone through that chart
too much music, send help
It was only a matter of time before they came for us.
>>66440326
why is it called slam? and why aren't Cannibal Corpse, Carcass and Autopsy not listed?
maybe I'm just stoopid but I don't see what's wrong with the article
>>66440414
>and why aren't Cannibal Corpse, Carcass and Autopsy not listed?
Actually listen to any of the bands listed once, and then any band on that chart once, and you'll find out why.
>>66440429
>stoopid
go back to tumblr
>>66440414
because those bands you listed are classic death metal, not slam metal
>>66440387
I'm more surprised that metal hasn't been attacked more frequently by Tumblr & co. by now. It's everything they despise in one convenient package, surely it warrants a mass-protest or a barrage of Twitter death threats. Shit, even a mildly disdainful hashtag would do. Smh at these quitters desu senpai.
>>66440584
Even the many metal musicians who are leftist (in the extreme metal genres) are really opposed to tumblr liberalism
>>66439708
whoever made that pic owes me new sides
>>66440616
I'm not surprised. Take out the Satanic Panic and add some poorly understood political theory, and a lot of your typical Tumblrite's talking points sound like they come from family values crusaders from decades past (including views on 'problematic' art).
