A great deal of metal is prima facie ugly, and I find that most of the people attracted to this aesthetic have emotional issues, abuse drugs, or self-harm, etc. I enjoy hanging out with some of these people, but it's an observation I can't ignore.
As you point out, there are a number of subcultures, some of which are generally wholesome and aesthetically sound. For example, Manowar fans are usually intelligent, driven, and extremely muscular.
- idDriven 8y agoThe way that you phrased the part about 'emotional issues, abuse drugs or self-harm' are you meaning to imply that this somehow makes them lesser people? Bearing in mind that these traits all tend to be a direct sequelae of childhood trauma?
- 1000units 8y agoAbsolutely not. I'm just speaking plainly, and I'm glad you made that point. They are my friends for a reason.
