At what age did you grow out of metal and being a metalhead, fellow robots?
>in b4 angry 20 year olds who think that they'll still be into metal when they're 40 year old
>in b4 "I listen to loads of other music genres besides metal, like rock and classical"
>in b4 meme metal
>in b4 Babymetal
18. Bit of a late-bloomer but I made it.
Was never into it that much but i enjoy obnoxious rap a lot nowadays.
i still like rap and some metal
22
>Hate rap
>Classic rock is dustier than my dads balls
>Jazz, hip hop etc into the trash as well
>Classical music is okay but i only listen to it alone or people think you're fucking weird
So what should i be listening to faggots?
>>24670386
That reminds me of "horrorcore" being an even bigger meme trap than metal for white people. Stuff like early Insane Clown Posse, very very early Eminem, Necro, Grave Diggaz, etc.
13yo listened some Korn song, and i've never stoped listening and discovering the metal world, even thats why i started to play guitar, im 27yo now, provably ill never stop listening metal
Listening to this right now. Fuck you, OP, you can't stop me.
18, still into it. A bit more into classical rock lately, though.
>>24670448
yeh, but i am a sandnigger so i don't get attracted to a lot of metal genres.

Also what are your feelings on electro/dance music, or EDM as the kids call it these days?
>>24670476
I don't care if you listen to Slayer lol what's with the pointless rebellious attitude oh right it's because you're a metalhead
>OP tries to get people to stop listeing to metal by posting like a condescending elitist
>listen to it anyways
Maybe 24 or so? Stopped giving a fuck about it. If someone puts it on though, I wouldn't complain.
>>24670509
I like wardruna which is a traditional/ tribal band like the stuff you posted.
Can't really stand electronic music either, some it is alright i guess.

You probably think nu-metal is metal, too.

Metal is metal, there's like 27 diffrent subgenres to it including nu-metal and glam metal and the edgy blackened prog-death metal ambient noise shit that you're into, and Babymetal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ro-_cbfdrYE
My dad still listens to metal.
Me, I just like it, cant really unlike it.
I am in the closet about it though, since its not socially acceptable. I have standard normie radio music on my phone and my car in case someone else is with me.
>>24670560
But, they are a metal band?
They're commercial, but that seems the only complaint people seem to have about big bands.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP0w6-B43ww i like this kind of music

Where does industrial goth fall on the metalhead/no-longer-13-year old scale?
https://youtu.be/cNAdtkSjSps?t=70
They dress up like like a daydreaming 13 year old's vision of a supervilain, like metalheads, but at least they're dancing and having fun with it and aren't pretending to be rebellious or euphoric or anything.
>>24670790
but I'm not longer a metalhead, grew out of it at 21. I AM much better off.
>>24670834
>meanwhile still posting on /r9k/
Sure lad.
I'm 24 and I play in a grindcore band. I do listen to loads of other genres though.
>>24670542
Honest and genuine suggestion: you should listen toanime soundtracks
There's just a huge variety in that world, both the intro/end credit songs and the background music. It can be anything from metal to classical to electronic music to pop and anything else.
>>24670866

I can agree on this. the thing is that most toxic metal fans don't really like metal in the first place, it is just pose to look different, edgy, cool w/e...
>>24671059

rock, hard rock, oi, some 90s rap, prodigy, grunge and some exceptions in form of soundtracks mostly
>instruments
I am not really into autotune and other experimental music instruments. cello best.
>lyrics
I don't really agree with this yet I agree that there is a lot of bands that fall into your stereotype
>>24671044
Metal isn't a fandom...go to any metal show and tell people that you're a part of their fandom and they'll look at you like you're a fucking idiot.
>>24671059
There are other genres of metal and rock. Technically Mayhem and Children of Bodom and Dragonforce are in the same field as Ozzy Osbourne and Metallica and Misfits, but they aren't the same by any means. If that makes sense to you.
>>24671420
why would I do that you idiot, spend money to hang out with a bunch of dyel adrenaline monkeys with high estrogen levels?

>>24671416
>rock, hard rock, oi, grunge
eh... those are all pretty much metal's step-brother or father or cousin, not exactly a totally different genre. At least you listen to 90s rap and soundtracks so there's that.
>I don't really agree with this yet I agree that there is a lot of bands that fall into your stereotype
Black metal: lyrics about being grim
Death metal: lyrics about farting blood or whatever
Prog/power/viking/folk metal: lyrics about wizards fighting dragons
Thrash metal: vaguely rebellious & anti-religious songs
generic metal: all of the above, also songs about beer
It's all just very predictable and pigeon-holed. There isn't a metal song that's about having fun at the beach with your girlfriend

for variety's sake and daydreaming about what that would actually be like.
but I guess you're too kvlt and grim for that
I will be 40 and listening to metal.
Good metal. Good music. Not the Chad and Stacey shit mass-pressed these days.
The fuck you care? I don't have any reason to impress anyone, just throw up the horns and rage.
Plebs.
There's nothing wrong with liking Metal.
I listen to Dio almost every other day.
That motherfucker was a musical prodigy and all around admirable figure. From cradle to grave. Elf to Heaven and Hell.
>>24670542
Wardruna is one of the best bands/projects ever. I've seen them twice live and they are one of the best that I have seen live. Very atmospheric.
>>24671813
Listening to that stuff makes me more edgy because I want to throw the radio out the window.

I listen to pop music, and even I avoid that trash.

>>24671568
those are just stereotypes + I am not really into any of listed genres
I prefer mostly MDM and some female fronted stuff + exceptions like cryptopsy which falls into DM stereotype or dragonforce / blind guardia which is lotr, wizards and dragons circle jerk

Someone out there please make a metal song about having fun in the beach with your gf.
(But also shoehorn in some over-the-top satanic bloodfarting sacrificial ritual to Odin or some shit to piss this guy off)
If anyone wants to listen to some cool proto-metal stuff: Blue Oyster Cult.
(I'd say they're still more Hard Rock but some songs could easily be argued to be true Heavy Metal)

I'm literally like the least metal person ever. I just have no reason to care anymore.

>Lyrics aren't music
Lyrics are a major defining aspect of musical genres and sub-genres.
Black metal wouldn't be black metal if the lyrics weren't about frostbitten kingdoms of grim darkness
Who here /meshuggah/?
>>24672274
If the only thing constituting a music genre is lyrical content, it's not a music genre. There has to be more to it than that.
>>24672341
That's why I said "a major defining aspect" and not "the only thing that defines".
>>24672274
not really, black metal is about tremolo picking, drummers without sense of tempo and rhythm and vocalists that sound like angry gargoyle
also there are tons of nazi black metal bands from norway, just go and check out nsmb
>>24672397
So you take some black metal, change the lyrics however you want and the genre of music is indistinguishable. QED.
12 after that I had an awkward game soundtrack period then at 14 settled for j-pop.

>>24672696
my 3 rules for black metal apply to this song as well
>tremolo picking
>drummers without sense of tempo and rhythm
>vocalists that sound like angry gargoyle
even if the lyrics were "I love cookies" you would not be able to say the difference because you cannot understand a single word in the first place.
I never liked metal in the first place. At all. Ever.
Rock and classical are fine though.
>>24672843
but that also applies to death metal and grindcore.
>>24672715
That's a cover, anon. Covers always exempt themselves from their genre's defining lyrical themes when they cover songs from another genre.
27 year old here, been into metal since I was about 13 and I don't see myself quitting anytime soon. My cloud of favorite bands tends to change, sure, but the love for the genre still remains.

Right? The former is about edgy shock value and the latter is about grim darkness.
>>24673576
quit projecting buckaroo, not my fault your pleb musical tastes are dull, boring and derived from whatever's in or popular. no amount of you calling it childish will make metal any less great.

Let's see
I got really, really, REALLY into melo-death, thrash and black metal when I was around 14. That was back when I was one of those guys who complained about "the friendzone" and "swagfags", etc.
Then one day I turned 18 and realized that it all pretty much sounds the same
>>24673923
I am talking about music not the lyrics, there is huge difference between those to. but I guess without some overview of metal genres and music education you aren't able to see that.
>>24670341
I used to listen to Breaking Benjamin and Metallica when I was like 14, even made a HL2DM video with Blow Me Away I think
These days are long gone though

I'll SOMETIMES listen to a few old songs & albums, mostly just for nostalgia's sake. I've enjoyed maybe a handful of new metal albums at most since then.
