here is the link : http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/forum/lire_topic-sujet-Discrimination-id-19142-l-fr.html Ok, leme get 1 thing straight here. I don't care wheather people don't like my music or not. Its the constant flaming from people who stereotype the music to be all bad and therefore the fans must be bad aswell. Its the sheer and utter disrespect for the genres and fans that this message was trying to get across. It wasn't trying to convert people |
| Enigmatick says : I see, I must have misinterpreted the post. Curse dat garbled Engrish. BEFORE I SAY ANYTHING PLEASE NOTE I AM SPEAKING OBJECTIVELY AND NOT FROM MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION. Metalheads dislike Deathcore because: a) it is the "flavor of the decade". It is what glam was in the 80's and nu-metal was in the 90's. It is a genre that emulates metal aesthetics without actually being metal itself, and attracts a lot of younger fans who don't have much knowledge of the metal outside of the genre. I can attest to this; a lot of people I go to school with live on an exclusive diet of post-hardcore and The Black Dahlia Murder and consider that music everything metal has to offer. b) Many of the fans of the genre are pretentious, holier-than-thou douchebags who often are equally dismissive of other people's tastes as their detractors. A lot of the people involved in the Deathcore scene aren't fans of metal the same way fans of "true" metal are; they listen to metal for its aggression and "brutality" rather than worshiping The Almighty riff. They simply have a different type of personality, and thus they clash quite a bit. tl;dr version: They Hate on the genre because they Hate the music and Hate the fans. Simple, really, I don't know why everybody has to ask this same fucking question every two weeks on a metal forum somewhere. |
| miniradman says : ok... I have a question would you consider me one of those closed minded holier-than-thou douchebags Can't just all metal fans just get along, instead of fighting each other. Why can't we unite and just be 1 rather than have a civil war that just ends up going no where. |

Since you asked, yes. I wasn't gonna say anything, as I've already got a warning from the mods for my apparent "impoliteness" but...yeah. Also, metal is a VAST and diverse genre and the fanbase is equally as VAST and diverse. There's never going to be any sort of agreement, and conflict breeds results. Let's face it, if everybody liked the same music, music would suck. |
| miniradman says : citation :
Metal's fan base is indeed VAST and there is no doubt there are differences in opinion. I know not everyone likes that same music, but do people acctually enjoy fighting over something that are peoples opinions. Especially when it is over something as simple as musical taste cmon lets be reasonable here. |
