At this point, I've gotta say I don't think a lot of people from various alt scenes know what they're even talking about anymore.

This specific example is more for the metal heads, but they're not the only subgroup that has this issue. Still: Jesus fucking Christ, the amount of gatekeeping and genre-condemnatuon in this subculture is insane.

For example: Why is it that whenever the topic of 'worst metal bands' comes up, people scream stuff *SLEEP TOKEN* or *GHOST*!

*gasp*! shock horror! Bands that aren't metal bands are the worst metal bands!

Do you even listen to yourself?

And if that was the only thing, I could accept it as people just being dumb. But this extends to so many fusion genres, too.

"Ugh falling in reverse aren't even metal, so overhyped!?" - correct, they're metalcore.

"I'll never get the bad omens hype, they aren't even real metal" - That is because they lean metalcore/alt-metal.

"It's disgusting that people call black veil brides metal!" - Disgusting is harsh, but I also think they lean more hard rock / maybe glam-ish metal these days but who even knows with these guys.

Overall, bands do whatever they want.

Like, which direction are we judging from. What makes it 'not metal enough' for you? Because yes, if you like power metal or death metal, sure. Metalcore is probably soft arse pussy music to you. But someone that likes rock or, god forbid, pop? Metalcore goes hard. So like, what even is metal enough and is it fair to put bands on a scale of "metalness" if what they're making isn't even meant to be on that scale?

I don't know, it's just dumb and annoying at this point.

I remember when I got a Ghost tattoo cause I just really love them, and dudes at my job would be like "so what genre would you call them?" To bait me haha. Or the "when she says she listens to metal but its just shit like BMTH" jokes.

Op is so on the money. I grew up listening to classic rock, but I also listened to stuff like pop, SUPER pop like Charlie Puth. So yeah, BMTH goes hard FOR ME. Over time I've gotten into heavier stuff but in my brain, bands like BMTH and Bad Omens are still... Kinda metal. The "Ah the subcategory isn't enough like the main category, so its shit" kinda mentality is not only stuck up but totally ignores the uniqueness and originality of individual bands that weren't trying to be a "metal band" in the first place.

when you relate to a song too much so you can’t listen to it ever again

[motionless-98]

I also bring you: when the song takes you right back to that moment so you can't listen to it ever again

using violence to liberate people from sweatshops, unsafe mines, and grinding poverty isn't the same as using violence to impose those things on people. the idea that violence is morally repugnant regardless of context is a belief that every oppressor throughout history would love for the oppressed to hold
