>>131731620Name a successful metal band from the 2020sOneJust one
grunge sucks unironically. cant name a single grunge album i like.
>>131731651imagine dragons
>>131731543and then it was THROWN to the ground!
>>131731543Tenacious D's music was never good or funny
>>131731597sheer brutality has its place in metal. sometimes i like listening to something that was intended to be abrasive
>>131731651If by successful you mean good, then Havukruunuhttps://youtu.be/NeJLJFi51vI
A LONG-ASS FUCKIN' TIME AGO IN A TOWN CALLED KICKAPOO
>>131733516no, a lot of it was good and a lot of it was funny, some of it was even good and funny
>>131731543>They failed, as they were thrown to the groundWho could have possibly seen this coming
>>131737604Gunny
Is Kyle Gass still "cancelled"?
>>131731651Sleep Token
"Grunge" is not/was never a genre, it was a marketing label tacked onto the scene after the fact to describe the attitude/aesthetic/fashion etcNone of the bands lumped under that label would ever describe themselves as such unironically
>>131731543Grunge is basically metal
>>131731543It did kill hair metal though, which was the most popular type of metal at the time. The rest of metal just barely survived the nuclear devastation. The only metal that managed to make past that point was roach metal.
No genre is actually dead, fucking ragtime and showtines have dedicated artists and fanbases that will show up no matter how small and niche

>>131731543I like power metal is that bad?
>>131731543The song is so stupid, no one tried to kill metal.
>>131741972not metal
>>131743417Finally someone says it
>>131733516Okay, but it's still a perfect for anyone in their immature shit-head phase and catchy enough to maintain a certain oevel of nostalgia value. I can still sing along with nost of the songs from The Pick of Destiny, plus I can absolutely kill it on Kickapoo when I go to a karaoke bar.
>>131731543Alice in Chains were metal though
>>131738181>cancelled by right-wingersDamn...
>>131731883Imagine dragging these nuts across your face
>>131731597metal concerts were breaking attendance records throughout the 90s when it was supposedly dead, whereas Grunge couldn't even make it past 1995 without completely disappearing as a genre
>>131746542Wrong
>>131731597Metal is alive and well for being the only music that routinely sides with its fans against the critics. Virtually everyone else cucked out for the Epstein class. Slipknot and other Roadrunner Records bands' attempts to do on behalf of metal are always mocked.I don't like metal but to say it's dead and killed itself is just patently false.
>>131747959No correct.Sleep Token is gay cuck shit designed to make BPD chicks feel less guilty for being a whore and that it's actually spiritual and futuristic.No one who appreciates metal goes for that nigger shit.
>>131731543It didn't work.Look, every generation wants to contribute to the world culture, and this has always been true. If it's metal you want, you go to Black Sabbath and learn about great riffs, great bass lines, vocals. It's all there. It's inspiring. Metals isn't dead, it just smells funny.Go listen to "Into the Void". Restore your faith.
>>131731597Truth nuke, went from Iron Maiden, Judas Priest to chat pile and mumbling death, thankfully there was A7X to fix that.
>>131731543the cockrock replaced by nihilism heroin junkie drudge for a few years, or oogabooga gangsta rap. Then rap rock. Then more wigger shit. And it only got worse from there.
>>131746297Not at all, Ecliptica, Visions, Keeper of the Seven Keys, Temple of Shadows... are all amazing classics.
>>131747987>it's not le real metal!!lol incel
>>131731543Nah, grunge is really punk/new wave/mid intensity rock capitulating to metal. The metalheads won in the end and us jangle guys have never been popular again.
