looks like my sister. every single one of her boyfriends has fit the archetype: skinny white guy, does cocaine, involved in some local music scene, also has a high paying corpo day job. you meet those type of girls at edm and metalcore shows more than metal shows but they'll usually get down with metal because they're not gatekept by harsh vocals. if you ever meet a girl like that 2000's era melo death or 2010's era death doom is pretty good for gateway drugging them into metal because the metal/hardcore-adjacent stuff they listen to borrowed from that stuff.

>You've proven yourself to be much less intelligent than you think you are.
are we reading the same conversation? your only argument is just telling everyone you don't know how statistics work. your argumentative strategy is mentally exhausting me by forcing me to either explain really basic shit everyone with a high school education understands in a thread about music.
like if you're genuinely saying that you don't know a relative % change is a tool for demonstrating the difference between a change in %.... and the relevance demonstrating the relative % change would have in the conversation we just had... when we're talking about how much things are going up or down year by year..... that's genuinely special. consider getting into trades, hvac and plumbing pay good.
i guess this is what you get from the "participation trophy" generation where boomers and xers thought their kids would be less retarded if they called them bright special boys growing up.

>what's the point of lying about what happened in a conversation from an hour ago that's fresh in everyone's memory?
I explained to you that I didn't look at the top of the chart (because I made the mistake of assuming that it included *all* visas).

>your only argument is just telling everyone you don't know how statistics work....... etc etc etc
No, I'm trying to get it through your thick skull that if the % of denials fluctuate by whole percentage points from year to year, then a *relative* increase of 23% would not constitute "skyrocketing." And mind you, that increase is just relating to one particular kind of visa, not the entirety of visas.

>if the % of denials fluctuate by whole percentage points from year to year
show me the post where you did statistical analysis and showed that the standard deviation was 1% or 4% or whatever the fuck.
no you didn't. you don't even know there's a formula for calculating noise in a dataset you fucking ape.

>which implies you are unaware that separate statistics are even collected
No, that's not what it implies. When you said visa denials went up, you didn't specify which ones, therefore I assumed the chart was an aggregate.

>show me the post where you did statistical analysis and showed that the standard deviation was 1% or 4% or whatever the fuck
It is a fact that the denials fluctuate by whole percentage points from year to year. If you wanna just say "nuh uh nuh uh", go right ahead.

>which is what we were fucking posting about
That's not what we were talking about. You said visa denials, in general, "skyrocketed" under Biden.
>>
>>127922917
yes. rob darken is the most campy man in black metal and if you don't 'get it' you can blow me. speaking of blowing people if i lived in europe i would probably hit him up and asked if he wanted his piss drank in the ikea bathroom and if he needed another session musician for lord wind concerts because i love playing hand drums and goofy medieval instruments and i want to dress up like a fantasy rpg character without getting the cops called on me so bad man.

he's said that its basically a passion project for himself, because he would become a doomer, go insane and 'become gollum' if he made nothing but graveland songs for 30+ years.
even if you don't like it i think it plays an important role in graveland's consistency and ability to stay relevant. metal bands are never good for more than a few albums or successfully change sounds and retain their audience multiple times unless they take inspiration from outside the genre they're within. aspects of the side project releases have always paralleled what's going on with the songwriting in graveland proper at the time. graveland wouldn't be nearly as good if rob darken wasn't a genuine huge sperg for medieval fantasy stuff.

i grew up in that era by around 2008-2010 i was disinterested in metal and by 2010-2012 i deleted most of my metal albums to make space for other shit on my drives (but i still have my physical media thankfully.)
90s black metal bands really struggled adapting to digital production, and that's really when the older trve cvlt authenticitymaxxed era of metal gave way for chasing commercial success. suddenly the internet could grow you a bigger overseas fanbase than a local cult following in your country and surrounding region. this alone was enough to make every 90s death metal act on earth go to shit chasing radio plays they never even got. black metal was affected by the same pressures but then on top of that most older bm acts really struggled with adapting to the digital production era early on (or forever kek) while death metal embraced it, and the old death metal acts still died, and yeah.
even in 2010 it was extremely controversial that varg made an album on a laptop and there were all kinds of forum people and reviewers who ruthlessly shit on belus just for the sole reason it was digitally produced. its not my favorite release i didn't even like it at the time but yeah it says a lot that in 2010 something like that was still controversial when the entire rest of the music industry had already figured it out.

Non-classical, non-avant-garde musicians tend to become washed up/irrelevant early on in their careers because they lack artistic and intellectual integrity. This is especially true of bands.

Don't get me wrong. I love metal, but it's not (for lack of a better term) serious music. For the most part, it's rather formulaic, juvenile stuff that's almost never thought-provoking in terms of lyrical content.

i agree wholeheartedly. the best metal acts are the ones where you ask the guy who writes the songs what his inspirations are and nothing he lists off is another metal or rock band. metal is really juvenile, not that complex of songwriting (imo the concept of a 'riff' holds it back a lot) and formulaic but at its best metal and especially black metal can also be expressive, raw and emotional and convey such a wide variety of feels and emotions other genres can't even touch on.
the average metal release is really shit, and making a mids metal album is pretty easy. at least by the standards of music that requires playing an instrument.
but the ceiling for how hard a metal song can slap is potentially very high for the curated, seasoned listener who's taste develops beyond 'hard to play/write = good' mathrock-brained-sloppa.
i think song lyrics all across the board in modern music are laughable, juvenile, musicians aren't the kinds of people i'm generally going to go to for profound thoughts when i have more than a lifetime of free/pirateable books thanks to the internet and my local public library. some bands out there in some genres have good lyrics occasionally but in general i just ignore that shit with music and i'm all about the feels.
bm also has the same strength punk music has in the sense that its really easy for 1 or 2 guys to start a band and make music even if it isn't that good. punk drums are notoriously piss easy to play and that was done intentionally to make it easier to start a band to get a lyrical message out. bm was the same way but the problem is the message bm was centered around isn't really edgy anymore, except the nsbm stuff.
point is, i wish more black metal bands took inspiration from stuff like i dunno, anything that isn't another metal/rock/guitar band.

>>127923840
The "trve kvlt" stuff is annoying, but I get it. Your average metalhead’s identity revolves around the music they’re into, so when their favorite bands wander too far into left-field territory, it feels like an attack on the core of their personality. Of course, sometimes the music really is just garbage that deserves to be mocked and derided.

What irritates me is when a truly innovative metal band comes around that has nothing to do with any "trve cvlt" niche, but the metal community ridicules them as if every metal band needs to confine themselves to their narrow views of what constitutes "pure" BM or DM or whatever.

that's exactly what cucked metal to the state it's in where the audience for non-core stuff struggled to grow outside of europe except for random ass third world countries in latin america and such that no one cares about. the guitar is considered a "legacy instrument" or "effect" in the music industry at large these days, even rock is dead. sucks because there are those acts that show glimpses of what could have been if it wasn't "gay" or "sell out" to take your music seriously or use vocals americans would actually listen to for 10+yrs.

Honestly, I think the entire medium of music has been in its death throes for at least the past 20 years or so. I just don't think there are many more possibilities in terms of innovation.

Electronic music still has some juice left in it, but not much.

if a bm album sold above a certain threshold it was automatically trash back then and you had to pretend you didn't like it on metal forums. you'd see people go from praising to calling a release sell out in a one week period.
>>
>>127924273
Its more implicit than explicit.

I mean, I don't think there are many metalheads going around using that specific term unironically, but they make it clear that they're not in favor of bands who distort their beloved subgenres too much.

Instead of saying something isn't "trve cvlt", they'll say a band is "hipster" or something along those lines. Now, in all fairness, sometimes the criticism is accurate.

What’s the difference between Brutal Death Metal and Slam?
>>
>>127924325
every riff and drum loop that sounds good has already been written. there's only a finite amount of them that sound good with black metal/death metal. this is a problem basically every type of music people actually listen to not counting really disharmonic stuff, polymeter/rhythmic stuff, polyphonic instruments, pure noise movie soundtrack type stuff etc faces.
this has shifted the meta towards music centering around the 'meta aspects to music, not the music itself. how you market it, how you look, the lyrics, "being mysterious" yada yada. other genres adapted to this. metal is starting to but its just way behind and has the disadvantage of requiring knowing how to play an instrument and usually get multiple people to get along and form a "band" to produce. its expensive to make compared to electronic/pop/etc music and has a smaller market so its not appealing from a commercial perspective, same problem most instrumental music has rn.
the other thing too is "sales" are based on spotify views and its industry standard to bot and fake the shit out of those. i don't think the music that "sells" well these days has nearly as much of an audience as people think. atroturfing that stuff is cheap and easy, i know how to set up like farms and i know how much it costs to run them. in the early youtube days they did a fake views purge and a lot of mainstream music was dropping from multiple million view counts down to sub 100k. music's been dying since we stopped buying physical media. yeah downloading and streaming was great in the short term but it fucked over financial incentive for anything but the most commercially driven and profitable stuff to thrive beyond being some guy's passion project that prly loses money or pays like shit to tour.
>examples
uh like 50% of the time when a band changes their sound and everyone shits on it, the first album is actually really good. i'm bad at pulling examples out of my ass sry.

The thing is, the commodification of music isn't remotely new. I don't think that's what's holding it back at all, if that's what you're suggesting. If anything, the internet has pushed things forward by allowing artists from around the world and from every walk of life to instantly share ideas and expand their horizons.

We're in a schizophrenic end-game right now where artists - at least the ones who actually care about music as a serious art from - are so desperate to come up with something new that they're tossing genres that are relatively incongruous into a blender. Unfortunately, what they usually end up producing is like a vomit-inducing smoothie.

The only musicians doing anything I find particularly progressive and unique these days are the electronic artists who place a lot of emphasis on psychoacoustics.

>>127924629
modern metal is too clean it needs to embrace imperfection, timbre, do more interesting shit with rhythm (meshuggah's popularity with zoomers has proven this) why don't more bands actually use more percussion than just drum sets, more bands should embrace some aspects of classical, modern electronic or both styles of songwriting without watering down. synths and such shouldn't be shit on so hard and don't need to be a lead instrument. atmosphere, guitar tones, uniqueness, soul, imperfection is what would appeal to the core metal audience and let's be honest its not a genre that's gonna grow, most immigrants aren't gonna get down with swedish death metal or whatever all the brown people who like it are the poor ones who stay in the 3rd world.

the fact stuff like "if your music has low bpm sections and breakdowns its this genre" "if your band has fast sections its this genre" is normal in the metal scene really limits songwriting. not just that example but the behavior as a whole. causes bands to shoehorn themselves into really formulaic one dimensional songwriting for way too long. i really dislike that aspect of metal. i hope we get some newgen tiktok ipad kids who are into metal and grow up without any conception of this shit and actually make music that wasn't done better in the 90s.

I like the idea behind Gloryhammer but so many of their tracks don't sound ANYTHING like the bands they're trying to parody. They all have this "safe" sound to them that's so common with Napalm Records produced albums for some reason. Space 1992 is probably their best album and so many people thought it was a Warhammer 40k thing and not a parody of Prophet of the Last Eclipse because the two albums aren't similar in the slightest. It also feels like they ironically take themselves more seriously than the bands they parody because there was all this drama over copyright stuff when their vocalist quit while Rhapsody split up amicably.

If that's meant as a slur, I've got bad news for you.
>>
>>127930189
The Nazis literally imposed regulations against riffs in music.

Yes, it is a slur to anyone who's not retarded.

Look it up and you'll find those rules were only for their state jazz band, Charlie and His Orchestra.
>>
>>127930279
Still, it's pretty ridiculous.

And there's no question the Nazis would have filed virtually all Metal under "degenerate music"

>>127930209
Shalom.

>thinking Heinrich Himmler would disapprove of Black Metal
>>
>>127930432

Nazis would have assuredly hated black metal. Hitler liked traditional, classical music like Wagner, Beethoven, and other Romantic composers. He hated modern or experimental music, calling things like jazz and atonal works degenerate because they didn't fit his ideas of order, tradition, and racial purity. Black metal, with its screeching vocals, noisy guitars, and chaotic sound, would also fall into the degenerate category for him. Even if the lyrics praised Nazism, he still would have dismissed it as degenerate instead of true "Aryan" art.
