So tired of the unnecessary Mayhem banter and also the obscene amount of fucking posers who are LITTERING all things Mayhem. Are they actually the best black metal band? Imo, no, there's way better out there. The reason they're the most popular is because they're the most legendary!! I don't think Euronymous's riffs are actually that good, and I don't think Dead's vocals are actually incredible and set the standard-- but I respect their legacy and I respect the people who are in that band and who have been in it (even Varg....... a little bit) because they are/were real human beings and their only relevance in life isn't that they played in some fucking band, they had/have personal lives and thoughts. Just because Pelle is smiling and looking silly in a lot of his photos doesn't undermine the fact he was terribly unwell, he's not your fucking tragic golden angel, he was some guy you probably wouldn't have liked if you knew him personally. Tears didn't trickle down when he wasn't feeling too great, he cut himself and killed small animals?! And Euronymous wasn't some fat, ugly, gay dickhead, he was well liked among his peers!! People just hate men who aren't conventionally attractive (it's literally just that he didn't wash his hair) -- "He took a picture of Dead after his suicide!" DO YOU EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THIS BAND HAS BEEN TRYING TO TEACH FOR LIKE, THE PAST 30 YEARS!?!?! It's about guts, gore, hatred, and everything antiChrist!! of fucking course he took a picture of Dead, dead. It was also most likely an incredibly traumatic moment for him!? Dude went off the rails after Pelle died
And why does no one talk about Hellhammer?? He was there!!
he's pretty :p And there's so many other guys who were/are in Mayhem, why is the focus always shone on Dead, Euronymous, and Count Dicksnack!!!?! Necrobutcher is sometimes mentioned... but only as a source of historical knowledge, even though he's a POS and incredibly biased ... because,, as I've stated before, these guys aren't characters in a play for you, they're everyday guys you maybe wouldn't even like... because they preach sin, death, and the devil...?
I've also seen some REALLY bizarre statements stemming from people who have a passion for shitting on Mayhem. Such as "Dead was self-centered" and the most insane take yet "Euronymous deserved it" FUCK OFF!!!!! He did NOT deserve death. I will defend Øystein Aarseth to my grave, I swear. I don't agree with, like any of his opinions and ideals, but I wholeheartedly believe he did not deserve to be murdered. Did he burn down churches? Yeah, and that's fucked up. Did he take a picture of his friend's corpse? Yeah, and that's fucked up. Did he deserve to be murdered? NOOOO!! Anyone who thinks he deserved to be murdered.... hear me now: I will fold you like laundry then shove you up my ass. You're actually fucking deranged to say that about a person.
Making fun of Mayhem everytime someone mentions it, even going out of your way to find someone talking about it... you will never be kvlt sorry :P you aren't cool you're just fat. "They're too popular" and you are listening to Darkthrone? Almost equally as popular? If not that you're listening to Bathory and Venom guaranteed
Also I am #1 Pelle Ohlin fan cause no one else who simultaneously really likes him also respects him as a person and as a deceased person. The crown is mine cause wtf?? All Mayhem fans on Pinterest should be banned
Finally, do I even like Mayhem that much? No, they're pretty mediocre. But they were the first band I was really invested in, so I will defend them and die on this hill.
