Some subgenres are more like classical than others. Comparing tech-death and progressive metal to classical? I'd say this is a fair comparison since there is massive overlap. But comparing stuff like most thrash songs, nu metal, breakdowns, there isn't that much of overlap. Note this is not to say that one is inherently better than the other.

This made me so uncomfortable cause this is literally how I acted when I was 12/13😭💀 That was when I really started getting into the metal community and unfortunately I just copied what other “metalheads” were saying online, which is actually really sad because it shows how horrible people can be and how easily young kids can be influenced by shitty behaviour. Luckily I grew out of that phase and nowadays I couldn’t care less about what type of music people listen to as long as they enjoy it, I listen to 80s synth-pop all the time for example. I actually went to see Depeche Mode with my mum last month and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to :)

Because elitists and annoying people exist in the "metal community" only apparently. Oh wait... they're in EVERY genre.

You should make a video about things metalheads say about female metalheads and musicians. Cause dang. It's often either they are obsessed with female musicians for being hot to an utterly insane level, or that they still deny women can be real fans and musicians. Other funny ones are like how people act like Jinjer is so unusual for having a female vocalist, when Arch Enemy was doing that a decade, and there are even older bands than that which had harsh female vocals like Krisis and Cadaveria. It's not a rare technique for women, it's accessible for both genders. But also, many bands have women who can do harsh vocals and sing really well, the two techniques are not mutually exclusive. And back in the day people mocked Angela Gossow for her harsh vocals, now Tatiana is praised, she's a great vocalist but the other women deserve recognition too. Also the whole thing with Myurkur was ridiculous, they assumed she wasn't a real metal fan just cause she sang some pop music before. And when it's a pretty woman they say she's only in metal for her looks, but then women not conventionally attractive can be mocked, such as Sarah Jezebel Deva was for being plus size. And worse yet if a woman doesn't play a song they like, then it's comments about how women don't belong in metal and such. For material, just peep the comments on female led bands, especially the ones I've listed, and reviews on sites like encyclopaedia metallum.

the metalhead girl one is so true and so annoying! i found metal music myself, overtime my music taste got heavier and heavier and with the help of spotify i got recommendations pretty quickly. i found out that back in the day my dad listened to metal and still enjoys it, but he didn’t “raise” me on it or anything, and i didn’t even know he liked it until he showed me his old pirated songs library a while back. whenever someone asks what music i listen to and i say metal, it’s always the “did your dad introduce you to it?” NO 💀

Anybody that says modern music is dead in any genre hasn't spend 2 minutes looking. More good music now than there ever has been, simply because of quantity

Tbf from some of the classical stuff I’ve heard, I can imagine Beethoven rockin with some metal. There was a BBC movie about the composition of the ‘Eroica’ symphony I think it was, he basically kept going ‘heavier’, ‘heavier’, ‘HEAVIER’ the interpretation was like showing him as an emo kid 😂

"Poser" And the whole room fell into a frenzy

To be fair, some metal subgenre are the closest thing to classical music outside movie’s OST. My GF is classically trained ( cello and piano), the closest to metal she had ever heard was Queen. But she felt right at home with Haggard, Rhapsody, early Theater of Tragedy and early Children of Bodom, Nightwish, Epica, Therion and others. She was delighted to hear bands that had something in common with classical music.

The fender strat is not a real guitar he's lucky he didn't say that to me. I would have told him why that was exactly 100% false while using some colorful language and then walked away casually.

"I liked them before they were popular." - You were four years old! "They are way too commercial now." - They make the bug bucks because they're *really good* "I know lots of bands that nobody's heard of." - That makes them.... better, somehow? Now, I have to say, I am guilty of this, too. Sometimes I wear a band shirt, and sometimes-sometimes people address it; "Hey wow, I'm a huge fan!" - Yeah? What's your favorite song? If they reply with 'Nothing Else Matters' or 'Sweet Child of Mine' or something like that, I just *know* it's not a *real* fan, like myself.. But then, I was at a Metallica Concert in Amsterdam a few weeks ago; but nobody really responded to the stuff from their new album. So, they started playing Nothing Else Matters - and the entire stadium just loved it. Except me, I'm headed for the bar. I get sour; 'This is not their best song, it's just the one they recognize from the radio.' But the other 'real fans' didn't get sour, they sang along with their lighters up and whatnot. So, maybe *I'm* not the real fan, here?

I understand you. But speaking of "Nothing else matters"... I know it's their most popular song outside of the metal community. But it's SO BEAUTIFUL! I've been listening to it for many years and never get tired, this song touches my heart every time. I'm a girl and of course you can say that it's obvious. But I respectfully disagree 😄 This song is not the best, but there is something attractive and magical in it that touches many hearts. James wrote one of the most beautiful ballads of all time, maybe that's why people adore it so much. It's not about whether the song is cool or not, it's about feelings I've never been to a Metallica concert and when one day I get there and CRY during "NEM", If you're going to be there, please don't judge me 😂😂😂 At least I know the songs even from their last album too 🙃

As time goes on, James can no longer turn his head like a helicopter and the old fans can't either. But this song evokes nostalgia and feelings. Probably many people didn't know Metallica's discography and just heard this ballad on MTV back in the days, but I don't think these people would go to a concert today, especially since the tickets are very expensive Nowadays, it is not often that you see much activity at concerts of old bands, simply because the audience is also «old» And of course, don't forget that everyone is holding their phones in their hands instead of headbanging 🤘

Fun thing: Metal IS the closest thing we have from classical, and you can hear that in music universities, but this does not mean that metal is like classical music. Metal just uses more exotic elements that are present in classical music than other genres. But if you want to know who makes things with a more complex instrumental, then you're talking about jazz.

When I was in my (bad) metal band back in MySpace deathcore popularity days, I would write riffs that the other members said sounded too “classical”… but like I never know what people mean when they say that exactly.

All found on Myspace and all still loved to this day for their technicalities. There are definitely some I've missed but those are what spring to mind.

I’m so guilty of “I only listen to the early stuff” when it comes to Slipknot

I sometimes catch myself saying "their earlier stuff was better". But if I think about what makes works of e.g. 70s Priest, late 80s/early 90s DM or debut Metallica and Slayer so special for me it comes down to two things. First, this is probably true for a lot of bands when they start out, there is something innocent but raw about it, they probably didn't care much whether the mainstream likes their music as long as the crowd in front of them banged their heads out, sometimes they might not know what they were doing at all. Second, this is probably more true for the 70s/80s or new styles in nascency, sound hasn't been "streamlined". Back then they often made due with what they had or thought was right for their vision, resulting in probably imperfect but unique even over the top (looking at you Tampa and Stockholm) tones. So these early records often stand out sound wise, not saying necessarily better but maybe more memorable.
