Memes. For metal music.
Don't be an ass and try to keep the gatekeeping and whatnot to a minimum. Memes from all sorts of metal genres and bands are welcome here.

I’ve tried to like it. But machine-gun drums and vomiting on the mic like you have norovirus dry heaves just don’t work for me.
Yeah, blast beats are such a creative dead end... I'm getting a lot more proggy in my old age
My friends will suffer through my ska punk playlist, haters be damned lmao
I get this reaction from people when playing Skinny Puppy, Igorrr, Herbie Hancock ffs.... these people are sheltered, LOL!
I listen to almost anything and I recognise most of these artists.
My listening habits are "pretty much anything but country, rap/hiphop/r&b, and the extreme side of metal". Which means I listen to classical (Chopin is the shit), most pop music, some metal, industrial, retrowave, 80/90's, "oldies" (pre-80's... Shout out to the playmates), etc, etc.
I also listen to some country, mainly stuff that has more substance than "truck" and "beer". I draw the line with metal when I can't understand the singer anymore, which, I'm sorry to my metal friends but a lot of the screaming/growling lyrical contributions fall into this category. I just don't "get" the music so I'm not a fan.
With rap/hiphop/r&b, the same rules apply for lyrical content as country (more or less), except with the concepts of getting/being rich (and/or bragging about the things you have), and guns/crime.... I guess?
Admittedly, those country/rap/hiphop/R&B exceptions still exclude a vast majority of the genres.
I'm game for pretty much anything else.
I still casually pop on some Backstreet boys, or Garth Brooks, or Eminem.... Meanwhile I spend a good amount of time listening to the likes of vnv nation, Skrillex, electric cowboy, Gorillaz, 3TEETH, etc (the list is very long).
What I pick to listen to is highly dependent on my mood.
I listen to a lot of Cash. I like some country. Crosby Stills and Nash etc.
I don't mind cash, but country isn't a genre I dip into very often.
I like noise and can't get any of my metal head friends on board :(
"The music is okay, I just don't like the screaming". Although that only describes a portion of the metal bands I like, to me that's like someone saying: "I like Monet paintings, but I'm not a fan of the colorful flowers."
I'm more into trash than death, since the majority of the latter is guttural, which I just can't stand.
You mean..thrash? Or is there a new genre with Oscar the grouch
I'm no expert on the subgenres, but that sounds accurate for me too.
Me: plays metal to friend Friend: "Can we, like, turn the music off and just sit in silence."
Same friend listens to trance which just makes me fall asleep during work.
When I say "everything" I mean that I don't have a specific list of genres I listen to. I can listen to any kind of music as long as it's to my liking and it does not matter if it's dead metal or k-pop or classical... Every genre has a lot of stuff I like and a lot of stuff I hate.
Hard agree. Like I'm not gonna say no if someone says "can I put on some death metal" because I've found surprise favorites in every genre I've listened to. Doesn't mean I'm going to like that particular song or artist, though.
Or something like Vatstep DSP by Hrvatski because nobody realizes they wanted to hear Stephen Hawking be the lead singer for an experimental electronic music band
this reminds me to check up on Slob Donovan. not that I'm exactly a fan, but it was certainly an interesting show they put on..
I like everything if it's at least distinguishable from nails in a mixer, because that's not music to me.
