Why has there never been a film about heavy metal subculture? There are one million punk culture films despite that being a much, much smaller subculture.
Metal: A Headbanger's Journey from 2005 is what you're looking for i guess.
>>222512545Lords of chaosHeavy trip
>>222512545Metal just isn't cool . Sorry
>>222512545Punk is jewishMetal is white
the only good metal is European power metal about dragons and Tolkien and shit. the kind that actually has melodies instead of just a dude going ROOOOAR and thrashing.
>>222512545Fat dweebs who hate their dad and homework aren't a very interesting subject.
>>222512545>>222512609That and Heavy Metal Parking Lot, one of the greatest amateur found footage flicks ever https://youtu.be/whZuz5Dwtw8
>>222512545Most metalheads were and are gay liberal losers who were angry at their parents for being squares
>>222512715You're a pussy.
>>222512807Also The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years .. if you’re into hair/glam metal ( though it also has ozzy, lemmy, kiss)Not as good as her first doc on punk, but interesting. (She later directed Wayne’s world)
>>222512834good. i can't think of anything more insufferable than>brooo my metal is WAY HARDER than urs haha now let's MOSH with NO SAFEWORDSgive me gay pop music any day.
Powe metal is gay.Black metal is giga gay.Death metal, nu metal, gay gay gay gay.For some reason metal heads like to larp as satanists when all the early "metal" rock bands were Christians. Only classic "metal" is good and even then it's just heavy rock.
>>222512545Any serial killer documentary or movie about drug addicts is a sludge metal movie.
>>222512872broooooo you don’t understand! Pretending to be demon worshiping Satanists, shaving our heads, and groaning into a mic like we’re possessed by a bear is actually the highest form of art and equivalent to Beethoven or Bach!
>>222512907Christians just have a stronger emotional core that they can channel into music. it's why The Smiths comes across as whiny, but Flyleaf feels hard-hitting. it's not just 'my dad abused me': it's 'my dad abused me and it led me to a crisis of faith'. you feel that conflict in the music itself. meanwhile Morrisey has had no actual problems in his life. a bus was late once, or something. doo-doo-doo~
>>222512995they don't SAY this but they ACT this way.there's also a lot of false modesty, i guess you could call it.>We're actually pretty chill, the metal community are the friendliest people you'll ever meet. We're an ALTERNATIVE to mainstream music scenes about drugs and fights....and then they all take drugs and love fights. they're only friendly to other hardcore metalheads, they are not welcoming.i've given it a try, many, many times. the music isn't for me. the scene isn't for me. i'm quite happy to never interact with metalheads ever again.
>>222512995Meanwhile, real music by real musicians:
>>222512545Punk is faggot poser shit, Metal is a genre with many genres.
>>222512545Never mind that, I want to see a biopic of Skrewdriver
>>222512715>the only good metal is British circa 1970corrected your spelling mistakes there bud
>>222512715Germany has the reputation, but the best power metal is American, Brazilian, or Swedish.maybe Italian if you’re into that sort of thing
>>222512866first one is good, because it's raw and brutalsecond one is more civilized and boringinterviews with ozzy/steve/joe etc saves it
>>222512907>nu metal>gayNo anon, I think you're describing yourself.
This thread is gay.
>>222512545Punk had hipster cred is why.
>>222512545Metal culture is all shallow aesethetics. Most of the dudes going to Slayer shows in their gay battle vests go home and then clock into their warehouse or IT job the next day. While there's plenty of poseurs, punks at least did "punk" shit. (This doesn't apply to 21st century "punks")
>>222516718/threadPunk isn't any smarter or less shallow than metal, but guys who studied filmmaking in school were more likely to be into it.
>>222512545>Heavy Trip>Heavier Trip
>>222516756Anon Slayer is thrash, they literally play that shit on boomer radio channels. We're talking about actual metal here. Your grandma never listened to Burzum.
>>222512545there’s no story to tell. metalheads are usually normies. unless you’re gonna make shit about wizards and fairies like >>222512715 your options are limited>coming of age, but METAL>a gory horror film but METAL>macabre aesthetics but METALall other themes that are discussed within the metal genre are brought down. and not every genre needs a film.
>>222516815Reminds me of another thing I hate about metal fans, they're all elitist, pedantic genre fags.Thrash metal is still metal.
>>222516756True as that is, you don't really offer metal types a livable lifestyle in the first place. If the musician is making songs about serial killers, say, it's probably for the better that they don't actually go out and serial kill. Punk music is fundamentally about getting drunk and living in a shitty communal house with ten other dudes and committing petty crime. These are low stakes enough that you can actually do them for a while. Metal music doesn't really have that, since you just can't have a life where you're a satanic cultist that sacrifices people. You can't have a life where you're a roaming warrior or a occultist or whatever. So instead it's all normal working people, like you said, who just think Conan the Barbarian has a sweet aesthetic or that they just want something brutal to keep their blood pumping when they hit the gym after a full workday. The idea of a metal lifestyle, such as it is, is pretty much confined to attending concerts and festivals and that's no different from any other subculture. You could call that larpy but I think everyone gets it from the start.
>>222517000>You can't have a life where you're a roaming warrior or a occultist or whatever.Not with that attitude
>>222512715That's among the shittiest genres of metal.>the kind that actually has melodiesLMAO
>>222517123No, child, it is not, these are your delusions speaking No, child, you will not lmao while enjoying prison.This is why your life is already over, stalker.
I enjoyed this one. It was nice seeing them talking about how the whole act was mostly about who was the biggeste edgelord and they knew jack shit about satanism.
>>222512545BoRhap for "stone cold crazy"
>>222512545Metal is about being headstrong and independent punk is about being a failure and a clone

>>222512545The Anvil documentary is pretty good. Not a metal fan myself but it's a pretty good "almost famous" story.
>>222517211I always forget that Varg used to be a serious musician.
>>222512834This guy has to listen to other men scream to get over the fact his mom didnt hug him enough
Where is Castle Rat anon?
>>222520006Castle Rat is cool and the chick is super fucking hot but I wish they were just a little bit heavier. To me they occupy this space where I'm almost embarrassed to list them alongside Electric Wizard or Hooded Menace when I'm talking about Doom Metal. It's soft, soft Doom at best, on the periphery of the subgenre. I guess that's because it's more "trad" than extreme, whatever. She calls it a "Sabbath worship" project in interviews. I actually do like the project though.
>>222520474>>222520006>metal fan who spent years unsuccessfully pretending to be an indie rock musician for commercial reasons and then finally getting traction when doing metalMany such cases! myself being one of them
For me, it’s Infester - To the Depths in Degradation
>>222517211>>222519439I like how Varg has a melty these days when people call him Louis. Bro you literally legally changed your name to it.
>>222512715>just a dude going ROOOOAR and thrashing.That's a minority of metal genre actually.

>>222524630Goofiest gimmick in metal.
What's the Obscura of cinema?it took me years and years to notice the old guy. I always saw some pig creature.
>>222512715That sounds very gay.
