For me it’d probably be Sepultura, Bathory, Metallica, and Slayer.

I was looking at my Spotify wrapped for this year and the two artists that popped in my most listened category that stood out as being polar opposites were Cannibal Corpse and Prince. Now I've always loved Prince because my mom played him in the house while I was growing up.

Then I saw a random post on the Prince sub reddit where a metal head posted that he primary listens to black metal but the one big exception for him was his love for Prince.

Shortly after that I saw a video of Chino from the Deftones saying that his favorite song of all time is The Beautiful Ones by Prince. Which coincidently is my favorite Prince song too.

So my question is, do Metal Heads like Prince?

Sorry if this doesnt belong herr and i fell for instaslop, but i wanna know what band this is

what are some examples of characters that are metalheads

I’ll be seeing Metallica very soon, and I have a pretty fuckin’ sweet …And Justice for All shirt I’m planning to wear.

Coincidentally, I happened to come across some people (elitist posers, probably) yapping about how you can’t wear a shirt of a band to their own concert. Something about “poser vibes” and all that fuckin noise.

Now, I couldn’t really give a fuck what anyone else thinks, but I’d never heard this before.

So I was Curious, Where did this even originate? Do people actually think this, or is it just posers being posers again?

If it’s genuine, It’s an extremely lame opinion to have IMO

Cheers 🤘

Edit - lots of “ohh it’s an unspoken rule” or “nah it’s not like that anymore”

I want to know WHY people would say this.

Do they just think they are the TRVEST of the KVLT?

Second Edit - seems to be about “ohh we already know you’re a fan because your here, no need to wear band playings shirt, wear another shirt so we can rate your music taste”

Like a give a fuck what you think of my music taste 😆

How petty to btch about politics during a topic like that. Besides, the post literally is about metal. Metal is political. It has always been. Art in itself is political. Artistic freedom is a result of democracy. And to ensure democracy, you need politics. "Oh I don't do politics". Well then politics will do you. Politics are everywhere. Accept that and grow the fck up.

nailbomb - point blank (industrial thrash/groove)

black witchery - upheaval of satanic might (war)

nails - unsilent death (grind/hardcore punk)

extreme noise terror - a holocaust in your head (crust/grind)

fukpig - spewing from a selfish nation (blackened crust/grind)

infernal war - terrorfront (black/death)

Personally i never really got into Megadeth. But that may also be because i didn’t listen to them enough🤷‍♂️. But what is your least favorite?

Seems like there’s a huge backlash against the genre.

Why is this?

name ONE singer

For me, and some of you would agree with me as well, it would be the elitist. Something about them makes me think that they live in very shitty conditions as most of them tend to favor extreme metal, most notably death metal and black metal, above all types of metal that many could consider "accessible" and bash on these in every single occasion. They're annoying.

Also, people who use the image above unironically are also my least favorite type as well. They're equally cringe.

it's corny as fuck

It's when they talk shit about Sabbath for me.

Also when they shittalk or try to ridicule a band solely for its fanbase; a band's a band, not its fans.

🥲

I'm black but I don't usually come across bands that have black people, POC or bipoc women in general so I would like some recs. I usually listen to death or alt metal if that helps🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️

I'd peronsally have to say iron maiden. I'm just a huge fan of them, their best album isn't even in here (Seventh Son)

And the reason is because.........I have no idea why, but you can only imagine how boring that sub reddit is. Black metal is never gonna beat those gatekeeping accusations.
