My cutoff is anything before the Black Album. So they've pretty much got me nailed- Classic Metal Purist.

Okay can somebody explain the appeal of 4/4 to me?
xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
It’s a perfect score
PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
Isn’t that just the “default” rhythm for most music?
outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
But what’s appealing about it? What’s to like!?
Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 8 months ago
Classic / Dad
Especially ‘metal died after 1991’.
BlueMagma@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
I guess I would be closest to “the prog purist”, though I love power metal, and other subgenres too, so I could also be in the “it’s all metal” category.
This list seems to be incomplete, there are other metal fan archetypes
Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
Im either “The Dad” or “Its all metal”. I really dont give a shit. If I’m headbanging, its a bop
krashmo@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Commenting to come back later and check out some of the filth you heathens are into
xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Sorry I listen to mostly metalcore
Broadfern@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Electric Callboy and Ghost.
muhahahaha
slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 8 months ago
I heard people say that ghost is metal for people who don’t like metal and i can’t stop thinking about it.

I guess I’m a gatekeeper, but only because some guy used “hey babe, I can play Smoke on the Water by Metallica, want to come over and listen?” as a pickup line, and I laughed at him.
serpineslair@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’ve been called out as the gatekeeper :( . Though I do occasionally delve into darker electronic genres like dark ambient or some DnB.
Join the rest of us gatekeepers, you know, unless you are a poser, or something: !thrashmetal@lemmy.world !heavymetal@lemmy.world
jackr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
Goddamnit I have a song by Galneryus in the playlist™ I feel called out
TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 8 months ago
As a Prog Purist myself, this is 100% accurate
simplejack@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The classic is just a subgenre of dad.
realitista@piefed.world 8 months ago
I think that Dad is the casual version of Classic.
eezeebee@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
I’m absolutely “the gatekeeper”, but these days I like to keep the gate open and welcome newcomers who are interested in hearing an old man’s ramblings.
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 8 months ago
This is where I fit - really obscure tastes, but instead of gate keeping, I’m like a Jehovah’s witness showing up at your door, pushing bands on you if you show even the slightest interest
msage@programming.dev 8 months ago
I am very interested.
But usually I like one or two songs from one interpreter, there are very few albums I like whole (Wintersun by Wintersun is the main exception, that is amazing from start to end).
So it’s hard for me to find new music that I like.
Bourff@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’m the gatekeeper, but I only listen to death, grind and doom. Everything else is more or less bullshit. Especially melodeath.
sykaster@feddit.nl 8 months ago
That doesn’t seem fun at all. I listen to what I like, independent of genre and just respect people that have different tastes than me. Except gatekeepers, get outta here with that snobby attitude.
serpineslair@lemmy.world 8 months ago
KIKILOVE@piefed.social 8 months ago
I only listen to neo-zwinx-slamcore with progressive elements.
eezeebee@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
You’re telling me you never get in a silly mood and put on some In Flames? But only old In Flames, not that new shit.
underscores@lemmy.zip 8 months ago
Okay but as a guitarist, the guitarist from Galneryus is absolutely fucking insane.
I’ve known about them for a long time and they’ve evolved spectacularly.
Also, you’re either a music enjoyer or annoying snob. Do not be a snob.
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 8 months ago
I recommend Haunt. Eric Church can shred like a mofo
skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Where do Powerwolf fans land on this list? Because I am one but I have genuinely no idea if that gives me cred or if that makes me the FNG.
Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
Probably The Weeb archetype. It’s the only one that mentions power metal. Guess I’m one too.
BagelEmbezzler@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I didn’t learn about metal from anime OPs but I have a few on my playlist.
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 8 months ago
The “It’s all metal” guy is an astro physicist.
GladiusB@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Y’all sound like everyone did about rock 20 years ago. In Flames is my favorite btw.
KIKILOVE@piefed.social 8 months ago
I like noise punk and shoegaze. I don't get metal. Like we get it you make big noisey but you got nothing to day beside harry potter stories
loutr@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
How about some blackgaze then? Alcest and Deafheaven are amazing.
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 8 months ago
I’m all over backgaze/atmospheric black metal. Alcest is an entry level drug.
Checkout:
- A Different Cloud
- Sadness
- Old Graves - sadly small library
- Forrest of Shadows
KIKILOVE@piefed.social 8 months ago
I knew about Alcest, but will have a look at Deafheaven. Will give an hear, thanks.
Although I just recieved a guitar so I spend most of my time listening to my own music over and over
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 8 months ago
Metal peaked with the first three black sabbath albums.
Black Sabbath on Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath is everything you need to know about metal.
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 8 months ago
Dude, volume 4 is a masterpiece, with the exception of FX, which is just Iommi stoned out his mind and fucking with his pedalboard. There’s a really good rehash of it done by several artists calls Volume 4 Redux.
The New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal is outstanding. Bands like Haunt (Eric Church), Night Demon, witchcraft and Green Lung are all amazing, have solid sized libraries and are great starting points into other stuff
There are also really cool metal bands out there like Panopticon - he combines black metal and bluegrass with strongly anticapitalistic lyrics.
realitista@piefed.world 8 months ago
Dude, as someone who moved on from metal after the Black Album, I'm so amazed you have turned me on to 4 bands all of which I really like on first listen. Thank you so much for giving metal a new lease on life for me! I didn't know anyone was making really good thrashy stuff like this any more.
