Why is "hipster metal" so much better than "real metal"?
>>121456837It isn't, it sucks
>>121456837I think you mean tuned down indie rock, which yeah it is better than latex metal.
>>121456924>indie rockNot music
>>121456952notice the "tuned down" bit before that?
>>121456837Because you're a pretentious queer?
>>121456837Because there's actually creativity & musical ideas being expanded. Metalbabbies will seethe because they claim to be alternative and extreme but when anything that differs from their norm of caveman riffs and blastbeats (not that there aren't good bands like that), they call it "pretentious" or "untrve" because they don't have the mental capacity for anything else. Most "real metal" is generic trash that sounds like 75% of the garbage that came before it
>>121457039Notice the "Not music" part
>>121457146Lol no there aren't. Hipster bands operate on the level of genre pastiche/texture-based gimmicks, any entry level meal album mogs this. You're a talentless dilettante and you can't play Chopsticks
>>121457203No, point it out for me
>>121456837Because "real metal" is lame and gay. At least "hipster metal" tries to do something with it
>>121457267Cry harder you little bitch boy
>>121456837I don't know the difference, and I'm ok with that.I liked in the absence of truth though. Is that even metal? I never really thought about it.
>>121457267>>121457279Meaningless. Play music that you truly believe to be creatively fulfilling.
>>121457266>>121456837
>>121457267>>121457279Always play from your heart. Your music will be better if you do this. It's simple and cliche but true.
>>121457336True. That's why metal from the 70s/80s/90s is still being dug today, while the landfill hipster fodder of the 2000s like in the OP is utterly forgotten
Too bad they went out with 2 shitty uninspired albums, they could've had the perfect discography if they stopped with Panopticon
>>121456837What makes this "hipster metal"?
>>121456837>>121457501What even is hipster metal?
>>121457501>>121457542Ask /metal/
>>121456837don't forget more hipster metal shit like sleep. sun ojj and earth belong to the metal noise hipster shit or summat
>>121457580ISIS is way better than those reddit meme bands
>>121456837It’s called post-metal.
>>121457656how can he be so cute and go so hard?
>>121457542Riffless garbage
>>121456837that talentless retard singer of isis is hanging out with a talentless avant garde bitch cakked coloccia or some shit.attracting pussy with your pseud shit music. at least he's good at doing that shit
>>121457353>people dig albums that are more popularno shit sherlock
>>121456837"hipster metal" while it does have obvious metal influences, it also has heavy influences on other genres that metalheads aren't fond on likely since in their eyes said genres are 'not heavy', riffless, boring or lame; simultaneously, it isn't really interested in appealing to metalheads but to a different audience, which again metalheads tend to disregard as pretentious lame hipsters"hipster metal" it's simply something in which its appeal is directed to a different audience that likes other things in music rather than what metalheads seem to think makes music goodand you op, perhaps just happen to be part of that audience, your music taste does not match with the taste of an average metalhead: what you like in music is different to what appeals to a metalhead, what you think makes a song good or bad is different compared to the average metalhead; "hispter metal" happens to appeal musically to you in its sound, melodies and aesthetic, which does not appeal to the metalheadmaybe it is that
>>121456837Hipster metal doesn't filter as many people so more people like it, and since normalfags think "popular=good" then you think it's better. I am also 100% sure you are rymtranny that should kill itself, so go right ahead
>>121456837I read that as blister metal and it made me imagine what it would sound like
>>121457749cool textures >>>>> riff salad
I reject the term. Isis is good though. I prefer oceanic but I used to blast panopticon the one summer I worked the 2am-7am shift at fedex.
>>121457542It's first and foremost a T-Shirt selling racket. Mostly pretty uninspired music with a non-metal twist to it to claim (but not achieve) a higher degree of sophistication but the fans leave the concerts as soon the merch table sold out even if the band is still playing.
wow you guys are all nerds no wonder metal died
>>121460532You don't know what that means
>>121457414>2 shitty uninspired albumsFuck off, Dulcinea, Garden of Light, Ghost Key and Threshold of Transformation aare some of their best songs
>>121458705>Hipster metal doesn't filter as many people"real" metal like Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden is much more popular than any of the hipster bands
Neurosis is betterinb4 wife beater
>>121462453Metal is a genre made for nerds by nerds. That's how it's always been and I mean that in a good way.
>>121457146>Because there's actually creativity & musical ideas being expanded. Metalbabbies will seethe because they claim to be alternative and extreme but when anything that differs from their norm of caveman riffs and blastbeatsVery true.Metal has become an extremely stifled uncreative genre, and has been for a long time now. Every single element of metal is now formulaic. Guitar tones, the amp and speaker cabinets used, the mic used to record it, the guitar itself, the way the rest of the band is recorded and the instruments they use too. The vocals and vocal style. The way the songs get written.The original metal bands hold up well because they didn't have any of these limitations imposed on them and were just writing songs to sound good. If the early Black Sabbath songs were made today they would be considered 'hipster metal' and many wouldn't be considered heavy enough to even class as 'real metal' by the metal community.
not music
trendy slow metal aka hipster landfill metal? no thanks. i prefer raw metal:https://youtu.be/n3A8icbRwzo
>>121457267nothing bad about being gay chud. if real metal were really gay it wouldn't suck so much as it does
>>121456915FPBP
>>121457746he has autism
>>121462678Bringing legacy acts that existed 20/30 years before any of these hipster bands started popping up is pretty dishonest. Even then, a lot of people who listen to these hipster bands would classify those bands as boring dad rock/metal
>>121456837Because you don't like metal. Stick to post-rock if you like that album
>>121468068Post-rock is not nearly as heavy and doesn't have harsh vocals
>>121468092That album isn't "heavy" unless you typically don't listen to metal. I find Isis kind of bland and boring personally.
This thread once again confirms this chart is 100% accurate.
>>121468147
>>121468111Lol I bet you also think Neurosis isn't heavy
>>121468147>>121468165Back to your schizo general faggot
>>121468171They have heavy moments but I don't really like them either. I respect them though, they're probably the pinnacle of that post-metal crap
>>121468165>Mastodon>Vektor>Pantera>Dream Theater>Burzum>Opeth>Mr Bungle>Type O Negative>Megadeth>Gorguts>Death>EmperorI know this chart is b8 but some choices are really bizarre
>>121468238you just listed like the most soi bands on there. is this trolling?
>>121462634the part in 1000 sharTs 1:30 just hits so wellhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Lze7jQfqqI
>>121468354How are those more soi than Deafheaven, Alcest, Pallbearer, Yob, Liturgy and Panopticon lmao
Metal died in 1993. Only 12 good albums have been released since then (most of them in 1994, being already recorded by 1993). Metal achieved its creative peak in albums like Onward to Golgotha, Pure Holocaust, and The Red in the Sky is Ours, elevating the genre into a legitimate art form. Now, thanks to Slaughter of the Soul and Gojira, all its potential was squandered and the genre has been reduced into being mere gimmick ridden noise for drunk idiots (i.e. the lowest common denominator - stop trying to turn underground metal into AC/DC).
>>121468434This stuff is so fucking bland compared to their first 3 albums, no wonder Caxide and Turner think that the last 2 albums are shit, this is basically just bland post-rock, it even sounds bad production-wise thanks to Barresi fucking with their sound, sounds muddy and lifeless.
>>121468543Stale pasta
>>121468565Might be, it's the only passage that stuck to me past the albums mentioned, can't explain it
>>121456837this band is massively overrated (still enjoy their music tho)
>>121468165>im fat and uglywe know bud
>>121457146>because they claim to be alternative and extremeI am a long-haired metal head that wears nothing but band shirts and I consider myself and the music I listen to to be 100% more "normal" than, as OP puts it, "hipster metal" which is weird and full of trannies (plus the music obviously sucks).
>>121463747no
>>121468165>guys who get fucked in the ass>virgin incelsThe only two types of people that post on /mu/
>>121468238>some choices are really bizarrethat's what makes it b8, dawg
>>121463747correctpicrel
>>121463747nah metal has always been knuckle-dragging wigger shit, nerds like hipster metal
>>121457279>>121465508metal fans are so fucking subhuman it's unbeliavable
I saw ISIS live long ago and it was the worst and most unbearably fake band I've ever seen in my life. Like Metallica doing beatdown gimmicks forever, with bad screeching on top.To put it in context I'm not a metalhead and I did like post-hardcore back then.
>>121469637>I am a long-haired metal head that wears nothing but band shirts in 2024Grim, how fat are you?
>>121468165thanks for the recs!
>>121465508Gay as in lame
>>121468238these are all reddit tier metal choices
>>121476954>reddit tier metalBetter than the shitty NSBM you spergs listen to
is Kardashev hipster metal ?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=App_5521ynAand if so more recommendations for shit like this
>>121457146Wow, facts.
shut THE FUCK up
>>121477843>t. Penn Jillette
>>121457353Tbf most 2000s Rock in general is prettymuch except for nu metal which has a genuine rabid fanbase which I guess would further prove that point. Limp Bizkit is still remembered and Awolnation are not lol.
>>121456837I remember when this was my favorite metal album of all time 10 years ago
>>121457146if it isn't Revenge then it can suck dick, faggot metal is garbage and i'm sick of pretending otherwise. hit the gym and release some oxygen into your brainjpfv
>>121478706>Revengelol faggot poser
>>121478611AWOLNATION is not landfill independent, more so buttrock which intersected with scene and Imagine Dragons's fanbase (kind of)
>>121469637imagine the smell
>>121478747Awolnation isn't even rock to begin with. Garbo pop music for """dubstep""" whoo-whoo sloppuhs. It's contemporary, howthoughever...
>>121456837>still having this discussionare you guys fucking serious? people have been having this exact debate since the 2000s and it's never been less relevant to the metal scene unless you live in some eastern european countrythere has never been less of a divide between "hipster metal" and "real metal"all the people making meat and potatoes death/black/thrash (what i assume you mean by "real metal") are the people that would have been called "hipsters" 15 years ago
>>121475665>To put it in context I'm not a metalhead and I did like post-hardcore back then.so you were a faggot?
>>121457146>Because there's actually creativity & musical ideas being expandedHow about writing good music rather than trying to create a mashup of genres to seem creative. Thats the problem, trying to actually write some good music. Stop trying to create the next big thing, it isn't going to happen by mashing up hipster music with metal.
>>121481346>How about writing good music rather than trying to create a mashup of genres to seem creativenot mutually exclusive
>>121457146>"omg I HATE metalheads", he said>"like what is their problem, you know?">"it's just like UGH. I can't even">"omg you KNOW they're thinking about me RIGHT now. they're OBSESSED WITH ME">"...omg do you think they're thinking about me?"
>>121468165rust in peace completely ruins it
>>121468165I still can't believe the amount of seethe sunbather caused. Still a classic, yet trve cvlt didn't approve.
>>121482109It was mid even by blackgaze standards
>>121468111Their first 2 EPs (Red Sea, Mosquito Control) and their first album (Celestial) are pretty heavy, in a kind of Godflesh-y way, not like in a fast way like trash metal or whatever.
>>121483042Shut the fuck up zoomer faggot, go listen to your tranny rym approved gook shit. Lrt me guess sadness is so heckin based
>>121456837"hipster metal" can be any metal album that appeals to the most number of people (generally because of its high quality like Symbolic or Dopethrone which make it stand out from their parent genres), which includes non-metal heads; by definition, it's the opposite of hipster since it has a broader base appeal.
