Oh my fucking god I just wanted to say how otherworldly bad music is right now (pop has always been stupid to varying levels but oh my fucking god they have raised the stakes). I just listened to a bunch of pop tracks from various genres and I literally think I'm about to die. Rock, country, indie, folk, hipster white rap, whatever you call home, is aggressively bad. It's like Walmart made a gun that can shoot cum and blood and piss and shit and puke into your soul. We are so fucking fucked. I want to saw my own head off.

it really takes something special to make me listen to metal again

Real as fuck, ion't fuck with metal or its listeners like I used to anymore for fear of running face-first into Varg-adjacency(ironically, this is how JPEGMAFIA fell out of my top five) out of them and losing all my respect for the people who put me on to smth; so Zeal and Ardor was a refreshing change of pace for when I was put onto em

Saaaaammmeee my bf insists it's not all metal heads and I shouldn't tarnish everyone with the same brush which is absolutely fair and true but in terms of metal heads you meet at gigs and out and about its like never a normal person.

It's like there's always one form of bigotry if not multiple. I'm sure a lot of them think they inclusive but it's always "we don't care who or what you are" milquetoast shit and when that's coming from predominantly cis white straight men it's always feels like a smokescreen to hide the fact they'll have some vile ass take on one type of minority.

Thats how it always feels to me, even if your more qualified, more successful, more literate and more educated than a white male metal head, your always a little girl to them in a man's world that thinks she gets how it all works and it boils my brain I swear.

Aaaaa I'm venting lmao. Does any of that track from your experience?

Loads are lovely so obviously I don't wanna just slam metal fans since I'm technically one maybe I guess but like erghhhhh

Deadass, knowing the kind of bullshit white supremacist timing Burzum and everyone who wants to be Burzum was on, that kind of "we don't care who or what" always read as blatantly-untrue cope to me. Kinda like they want to distance themselves so bad from white supremacists, classical antisemites, and church-burners, but don't want to amend the mentalities and philosophies in white metal and its fandom that lead to white supremacy, classical antisemitism, and church burnings. It tracks 100% to me; I might be a metal fan but gods and antagonists know I will never share such fandom with an unvetted white
