You just don't like the idea of metal bands being popular/mainstream. and a lot of people listening to it, Enigmatick. You might just want to feel special, in a non-cute douchy metal elitist way...0 0

That's totally why I like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Machinae Supremacy and Lady Gaga. (you heard me.) I've got no problem with easily digestible music, but when it's presented in a form that doesn't call for that type of accessibility it doesn't work.

And really, the reason we started listening to metal was to listen to music that was meant to engage and communicate with the listener rather than bilk us of our dollars. My point was NOT that metal isn't/shouldn't be popular, because it's one of the most popular genres of music in the world right now, it really is.

Christ, it wasn't nearly as amazing a comment as you all made it seem, it's like whenever anybody gives me the slightest jab you mongrels all run and fellate whoever did it.

I like a few mainstream-ish bands myself.
Kraftwerk, Blue Oyster Cult, Pink Floyd (the bands that were once popular)
Tool (Trust me, they're fucking awesome), Disturbed (I like 'em alright, last album was sucky apart from the first 2 tracks and the album before that only had a few good ones), and Ramsmtein (they dwindled on their last album, but they've got some great stuff).

Dear christ, either stop with the 4chan-isms or go back to 4chan. I come to forums to get AWAY from the 4chan memes and snickering mongoloids that frequent that place. Not saying you are one, but you're making yourself look like one.

and really, where did everybody get the impression that I'm anti-mainstream or something? I honestly want to know.

Your reactions say more a thousand words about being anti-mainstream

Well, I thought you didn't like most mainstream stuff until you posted a comment on one of the forums about how you found Death Magnetic decent and wanted to do a Metallica binge. I dunno where I got the impression, probably it was from your Reaction to deathcore... and a lot of other sorta true metalhead-isms that you've said on several forums. Not that there's anything wrong with that, though. You weren't like ThrashatanicA--you weren't really poser-ish about it.
