You made the mistake of assuming every metal fan likes Metallica or particularly cares about them.
There is a lot more artistically varied and interesting metal out there. A lot more.
- YeGoblynQueenne 9y agoAlso, of thinking that Metal fans are uniformly interested in how "extreme" their music is. Personally, I care that the songs I like are memorable. Not that they are extreme. As to how interesting they are to outsiders- so? Who cares? I listen to my stuff, you listen to yours. I won't even compare my music to others'. That's the kind of thing that gets you thinking about why you're not more fashionable and then you end up like modern-day Metallica.
- thinkingslow 9y agoYou could also add in here Gang music, which often includes real-life references to actual crimes that are happening right now or have happened, particularly with lower-level rappers. There's a group from the UK, "67" who constantly have group members in and out prison and still play big festival stages. That's more extreme IMHO
- KozmoNau7 9y agoThe "normies" have a very odd perception of metal and metalheads, as if we're some kind of satan-worshipping cult that sacrifices live animals at concerts. I blame media demonization and the inherent distrust of everything that seems "different". I just want to drink beer and listen to heavy music :-)
