Is liking extreme metal with vocalists screaming (or "growling", or screeching) at you a sign of mental illness?
>>24134698
no, it's just a sign of shit taste.
>>24134698
Not at all. Although, I do have a pretty biased opinion.
>>24134718
>Not taking psychedelics and blasting black metal at full volume

Look, I know it's gay and edgy but it sounds COOL
I don't think so. Some of it is pretty cool.
>>24134736
>Settling for edgy black metal.
Kek.
>>24134718
I really don't see how it's a matter of taste, if you like hearing people scream their lungs out like animals you have problems.
Should be, that shit is annoying desu senpai. It's similar to modern art, just because you say it is and some people agree with you that, that line you just drew is art, or that scream you just did is music.
>>24134736
Usually I just take psychedelics and listen to Pink Floyd or King Crimson, senpai.
>>24134698
Depends on what you consider mental "illness".
The only real mental illnesses are severe things like schizophrenia. For the most part, the rest of it like depression and "personality disorders" are just a pseudoscientific way of enforcing conformity and consumerist behavior.
>inb4 shitstorm
>>24134763
I would argue that listening to radio pop is worse.
>>24134698
yes.
in my opinion, if you find yourself relaxing / relieving stress by listening to death growls, you either:
>have or have had some form of severe depression/anxiety
or
>a very strange fetish
>>24134763
Most metal is actually really intricate and has different vocal styles.
>>24134763
Yet listening to actual animals is somehow OK.
It sounds good live
>>24134839
>Most metal
Oh boy. Here comes the cherrypicker to tell us what's representative.
>>24134775
The scream alone is not art. There's a lot more going on. By your logic rap isn't music either?
>>24134763
This is true, imo. I have had a deathmetal phase once in my life and so I say this from experience. If you like these inhumane screams, you have problems. edgy problems.
>>24134824
In my opinion your cunt should be torn inside out and salted and grilled, but who am I?
>>24134852
Whatever. If you can't tell the difference between slam metal and black metal then you need your ears checked.
I think that the edgyness should be instrumental
Growls just sound distasteful for me except in some songs
>>24134890
wait why?
kek
>>24134824
Well, I listen to anything from metal to pop to rap to classical, so, what does that make me?
>>24134698
Try some of this mad bitch, shes awesome in small doses and puts more hate and spite in 20 minutes than most metal albums.

So which one is supposed to be intricate and have non-screaming vocal styles?
>>24134968
>edgy shit
>music by some edgelord attention whore
No thanks
I CAN HEAR THE THUNDER BREAKING IN YOUR HEART
>>24135011
I CAN SEE THROUGH THE SCARS INSIDE YOU
>>24134976
They both, obviously, have screaming. It's the differences in the screams that I was referring to. The time signatures and overall sound, even without the screams, are completely different and have their own unique style.
>>24134941
I haven't said anything about pop, rap, or classical. I just stated what I think is obvious about those who find pleasure from listening to death growl
>>24135133
No one gives a shit. You're differentiating between two different types of shit. It's not intricate and it's not "most metal" like you said it is.
It's just a vocal technique
Growling has a nice vigorous sonic texture to it and nice low notes
Screaming can be high and raspy and hit great high notes
I just like the melodies, the energy, TNT emotion
>>24135193
Yes, but if I find pleasure in listening to all those genres including metal, then do I still have depression, anxiety, or a fetish according to you. The funny thing is that I do have a,b, and c. Didn't mean to argue just curious.
>>24135203
What? I think that you completely missed the point. Sure, alot of metal is repetitive garbage, but it's not all the same.
>>24135332
Well yes. That is my theory.
If you enjoy death metal, you have or have had a, b, and/or c
>>24135463
Well, then. I guess I contribute to that theory. There are some really hot metal vocalist, though.
>>24135570
>really hot metal vocalist
example?
>>24135603
Marissa Martinez
>>24135603
Alissa white gluz
Oh no, people use the lower range of their vocal chords in music? They must be mentally ill, of course!
Did you not think that perhaps the vocals are to match the mood of the music and lyrics, just like literally all music?
There is objective science showing that more intelligent people tend toward metal and classical. Look it up if you think I'm lying.
I think there's something seriously wrong with a person who can't at least appreciate the complexities of some metal music, as in, they're too stupid to comprehend it.
>>24135603
Can't forget maria brink, there's also the butcher babies.
>>24135753
> Implying electronic music can't be complex.
I like myself some Katatonia time to time, but I never really was a metal person despite I was a robot and sometimes edgy when I was young. And kinda "alter looking" as others said it. I was always the kind to lean towards electronic based music.
>>24135753
>There is objective science showing that more intelligent people tend toward metal and classical. Look it up if you think I'm lying.
The study you're referring to shows that smarter kids in some high school preferred Slipknot.
>metal
>complexity
Please kill yourself. There is some complex shred and progressive metal but it's far from representative or what you're talking about.
>>24136106
>Complex shred
>Progressive metal
Kek.
>>24136149
>black metal
>slam death
>complex
Like I said, please kill yourself.
Isn't it ironic how robots shit all over normies all the time but at the same time just listen to normie shit, refusing to even try and listen to anything out of their normie musical comfort zone?
All you normie wannabes shitting all over metal itt should just gtfo r9k. Not liking it is one thing, but adamantly opposing it like that is just normie-tier
>>24134736
>Classic Darkthrone
Good taste. Black metal isn't my cup of tea but nevertheless.
>>24137881
>implying OP isn't just a normie troll
Or possibly a woman, which is even worse.

This, holy shit man
Fuck it.
Who /metal/?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY0RZriJ3gk
It's not a sign of anything other than what kind of music you like, fucking dumb stupid pseudo-psychologist faggots.
WHO /METALCORE/ HERE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a89Shp0YhR8
>>24138244
Anything with -core added to it is mostly likely shit.
>>24138252
Not really. Blending of genres can lead to awesome new and better music.
>>24134968
Goddamm I love that album.
I still don't listen to much death metal, but it was Opeth who converted me to the dark side.
How the fuck do they make that shit sound so good?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQbH4vFYYVs
>>24138244
We /metalcore/ now senpai.

Fuck you, Bruckner was a true robot musician, unlike these metal faggots who probably have sex with hundreds and hundreds of girls, and also most normies who pretend to enjoy other art music will outright call him "tedious".
Pictured: GOAT.
>>24138244
In high school, yeah.
This was probably one of the most underground groups I got into.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iESjmZBuS8w
>>24137881
Metal is normie music though. Festivals in Europe such as Wacken have hundreds of women attending them and there are news reports of people having sex on festival grounds. Robot music is dark ambient, noise, power electronics etc. Only the most extreme forms of metal have few female fans eg. Gnaw their Tongues, Paysage d'hiver, Portal etc.
>>24138446
Norma Jean was so far from "underground" it's not even funny bro
>>24138460
Normies in Europe are robots by American standards though.
>>24138485
problem solvedlet's all move to europe
>>24138485
>Normies in Europe are robots by American standards though.
No they're not. What part of women attending and having sex at metal festivals do you not understand?
>>24138446
fuck posted wrong song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNtGR6HD6PE
>>24138472
in the south maybe
but just listen to them; they're more raw than the generic asking alexandria/blessthefall pussymagnet metalcore band
>>24138505
Women having sex at a festival doesn't automatically make the music at that festival normie.
>>24134848
All people are animals, idiot
>>24138554
The fact that women (all normies) are at the festival implies that they like the music or they got dragged along with their boyfriends (who are normies), Therefore the music is normie music.
And its not just a handful these festivals usually have thousands of women attending. Metal is pretty popular (normie) in 2015 senpai
>>24138554
How can it not?
>>24138009
Lost wisdom my nigga
>>24134736
Nice choice m8,if you haven't heard of Katharsis,you should definitely check them out. They sound just like ''Under A Funeral Moon''-era Darkthrone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYVzkbFEins
>>24134718
This, actual good post-hardcore can be nice to listen to, but nonsense growling for longer than 5s is just bad taste.
>>24137881
Its the same issue with mu.
People on here just post stuff that are hip at the current moment. Nobody really cares to actually post music they genuinely like.
