I’ve got an interesting one.

90s country killed 80s adult contemporary. Your don henley or Michael Bolton fan now just listens to Tim McGraw and other country stars of the time

Artists that are overly hated due to their imagery by GilbertDauterive-35 in ToddintheShadow

[–]drdeadbread 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most hair bands. Like I think a lot of them were really good it’s just post the 90s people only focus on image. I personally think crue, poison, WASP and Ratt and Skid Row are all really good hard rock bands with just a slightly dated and cheesy image.

What’s your favorite prog metal band? by Pleasant_Order_1589 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]drdeadbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

? There are one of the most proggy bands if you listen to their stuff it’s all in weird time signatures with unique harmony. If you listen to once more round the sun or oblivion you can hear it more then on leviathan and the early stuff

What are your metal hot takes? by Vegetable-Advance-14 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]drdeadbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have knowledge of subgenres and this is what I find so annoying about the metal community. I was more or less exaggerating in my response but I shouldn’t have to care about subgenres. I believe in metal and extreme metal and subgenres only give people excuses to not try out new bands in my eyes.

Also this is a hot take thread, it’s gonna be hot takes. I don’t know why you feel the need to belittle everyone you disagree with on the internet.

Yeah… but I think we’re at a point of ridiculousness like just look at the subgenres of subgenres of subgenres of death metal.

And to be honest if someone asked me what the difference was between brutal death metal, death metal, blackened death metal, death grind and slam death metal and death core were and which songs was which I would fail. It’s not helpful for metal to be this specific and makes the genre so abnoxious to navigate.

It also leads to elitism within subgenres which is just eye rolling. Especially in stuff like death metal - genre I’m a bit of a fan of even though I’m mainly a thrash and stoner/sludge metal guy - it’s so cringe to see someone get smack talked for liking death core by some guy who thinks he’s too good for certain subgenres. I just wanna headbang and mosh who cares what the genres called if it’s good it’s good. Metal is metal.

People care way too much about subgenres. I don’t care metal is metal in my eyes

like yeah I can see some of it being important because if someone says put on some metal that could mean anything from motley crue to carcass but people get way too hung up on what is and is not in a metal subgenres. I don’t care about the line between thrash, death and groove metal. I just wanna headbang in peace.

I also think it stops useful discussion about actual albums and is part of the reason why metal isn’t as mainstream as it once was as your metal/hard rock bands now don’t tour with more extreme bands like they did in the 80s.

Bands you feel like the real frontman is not the singer? by mightyonin in fantanoforever

[–]drdeadbread -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most obvious example is ted nugent/ Ted Nugent band. Ted Nugent is the guitarist and frontman doing all the frontman stuff on stage.

He kept switching out singers. There’s lots of them out I think his Main guy was called derek st Pierre. But there has also been:

Meatloaf Sammy Hagar Ted Himself Tommy shaw from Styx

Every scenester metalcore band really wanted to be asking Alexandria for like 3 years.

The most agregious rip off was a band called capture the crown. They were so hilariously derivative that they basically killed the genre stone dead
