Is metal just dead forever? I don't see zoomers getting into it.

1. It's too easy to just produce some electronic shit on pc

2. There's too many distractions now. Back in the day if you had a guitar you fucking played it because there was nothing else to do.

Hello :O))

Metal sucks cock. Listen to Beethoven. Listen to Bartok. Listen to Mahler. Listen to Chopin.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve seen Acid Bath, Metallica and even newer bands like I Prevail. Tons of zoomers in all these shows particularly the latter two. Metal also continues to innovate see Mirar. I do think that interest is dying in the internet approved death/black metal stuff since most of that still builds off how the music sounded in the 80s/90s without reflecting the changing times

>>126983773
I think that's mostly true, stuff like OSDM is 'big' online but go to the shows and barely anyone is around. There's a lot of innovative underground extreme metal that isn't playing in the old-school style, but its appeal will never be broad.

>I Prevail
Core stuff has been more popular than "true metal" for a long time now, excluding legacy bands like those you mentioned.

The biggest issue is modern metal is fucking awful
No good riffs, no memorable solos
Just being loud with the same awful production as everyone else
And no some obscure Norwegian band called Disemboweled Dolphin Rapist being an exception doesn't matter cause 4 people listen to them

no, deafheaven saved metal

>>126984002
Zoomers consume they cannot create. Also all metal today is gay metalcore.

>>126983351 (OP)
Someday there may as yet be a quality thread made by a frogposter but that day has not yet arrived.

All the kids are about core now, grandpa

>>126984309
graph shows all the new metal releases being made, not consumed

>>126984357
this. 'traditional' extreme metal went underground years ago, all the mainstream new stuff is mainly metalcore and deathcore

This BDM AOTD contender was made by a guy who was only 17. There will always be people with talent and inspiration too strong to be sucked in by trends or distractions.
>>126983773
>Mirar
Thall is only metal in taxonomical terms. It's like calling brutal death metal rock, or calling birds dinosaurs. Some thall barely even resembles djent.

>>126983351 (OP)
>Is metal just dead forever?
Metal requires testosterone. Intentional poisoning of the food and water supply is turning males into söi trannies, unable to reproduce - or make aggressive music.

>>126985005
There's no good modern metal.

There are no guitar heroes today. Only the old guys still get mentioned. Before, there was always a continuation. First there were Hendrix and Clapton, then Eddie and Randy and many more I won't even bother counting. During and after 90s there were no guitarists that evoked the reverence of the old guys and especially not today. The only one that comes to mind is Henson but most people would rather fuck his face than get inspired by his robotic noodling.

>>126985742
Zoomers truly killed everything

>>126985777
Short attention span and constant cravings for instant gratification. Kids today are just too fucking lazy to put in the work to get good at guitar. They'd rather scroll through tik tok and or some shit. Only ones who do the work are usually just hacks who can play fast but can't write music for shit so nobody knows their names while those who could've been the next Marty Friedman are wasting time watching podcasts.

>>126983351 (OP)
Metal requires some form of freedom and zooms grew up in gay managerial corporate hell. The reason they hate hate acdc and iron maiden is because it's antithetical to the gay WASP middle management archetype that white people are expected to be.

>>126983351 (OP)
:(

I like listening to metal but I don't have the attention span to learn an instrument and make it myself

>>126984357
Youre gayer than any grandpa

>>126985864
We have to be living in a bad perpetual depression of times. Everyone is depressed even rich people

>>126985345
unless its prog

>>126983351 (OP)
True.

zoomers are too preoccupied with obtaining girls and will do anything to get pussy and most girls hate guitar music so they steer clear of having anything to do with it. learning the guitar is literally a waste of time for them.

>>126985206
Yeah the lead pipes were so much better for music

Am zoomer. I write death/black metal riffs on the daily. Some bands that I've talked to other zoomers about (which they discovered independently) include: Blood Incantation, Tomb Mold, Spectral Voice, Black Curse, Chthe'ilist, Deafheaven, and Sleep

>>126983533
You can listen to both retard.

Zoomers are scared of distortion and any heavy guitars. This is proven fact. That's why the only guitar music they listen to is clean guitar tapping with trap beats underneath. And no, they don't listen to shoegaze or nu metal they just pretend to for tiktok clicks. They are the generation that is scared of all things metal, even slipknot scares them. But what can you expect from the generation who are horrified by the SPONGEBOB credits song. No joke. Zoomers are a lost cause, at least there are some gen alpha kids into heavy rock/metal.
>>126988849
>Am zoomer
Zoomers aren't welcome on 4chan.

>>126988212
says who? zoomers are far more likely to be single than any other generation and birthrates are down in the gutter

>>126988940
They like things just because it might get them laid even if they never do

>>126988934
And fags aren't welcome in a metal thread, unless you're doing covers of Judas Priest
You've never talked to a zoomer in your life. Slipknot is surface level, nirvana tier, any zoomer can listen to this unphased. The stuff we listen to is far heavier than any of the hair metal garbage of the previous generations

Most metal is fuKKKing FALSE now. Only bands formed up to the 80s are worth a SHIT, and that's FACT!

>>126988940
Exactly the reason so many guys are obsessed with what could get them laid

>>126983533
I've always seen a large overlap of metal and classical listeners. The only reason this doesn't happen on /mu/ is because everyone here seems to think that a requirement of being "into music" is being severely autistic and having delusions of grandeur over whatever you currently listen to

>>126983351 (OP)
There are many great recent bands, but most of the time they're projects by scene veterans like Akhlys
The only great zoomer band I can think of atm is Welkin from Singapore

>>126983351 (OP)
Zoomers are 30 this year

This is what has replaced metal. Metal drums just dont have much bass so will always lose to this.

>zoomer babble
Most zoomers listen to trap, not very heavy now is it?

>>126990017
1997 is first zoomer. 95 and 96 are true millennials

Get the fuck off this site

>>126983351 (OP)
>because there was nothing else to do.
I think that's the issue, nothing can happen if you're a normie who browse "internet" all day, you need to get bored and stray from normieland to be an artist (not just metal).
Even for me, who's enlightened, it's difficult, so I can't imagine how a youth can escape this shit culture black hole. if they hear about extreme music, it will be in this neutered way, they'll think "wow kurt was a badass" and scroll some more.

Ultimately it is social media that killed it. Metal just has gotten so fucking lame now. It all sounds the exact same, with the same overly compressed production and shitty novelty projects that mix together random genres to try and find a fresh sound. There isn't any sense of neither danger, nor partying, nor mystique left, the latter of which I think hurts it the most. You only used to get small glimpses of artists at a time but now you can see how fucking lame metalheads are irl all the time and it just kills the entire vibe. I mean, you have bands like fucking Mayhem on instagram trying to act tough, it's all so stupid. And if you go to metal gigs they're largely full of ugly nerds now who are looking from a break from their wfh IT job and used up fat women. You see footage of Wacken and it's full of pot bellied basedboys talking about how totally hecking wholesome metal is

Metal, if you can speak in broad strokes like that, is about freedom and being independent from what society thinks of you, yadda, yadda, but clearly all metal bands, old and new, are held by the balls by social media companies and desperately try to attract followers and clicks, all for a few crumbs of money. They can't actually be subversive without being run off of the only avenue bands have left to find fans.
>>126989214
This but unironically for bands up until the mid 90s

A lot of people are pretty intimidated when they see us metalheads but what you might not have known is that... we're all actually super wholesome! Metalheads are like one big family and we look out after each other! We're not looking for trouble and really, we're just trying to have fun and build a community that everyone can feel a part of! So when you see us banging our heads (that's our form of dancing, it's called "headbanging") and "moshing" (there are a lot of rules so that everyone is safe), don't think that we're dangerous.

You might be surprised to hear this but outside of the often very dark music we listen to (System of a Down, Sabaton, etc.) a lot of us are normal people just like you! We go to work and love our children just like everyone else! We participate in democracy and love to vote too! And yeah, there are some people in the metal community who think anything that isn't metal isn't good music but those are fortunately in the minority. Yeah, I'm talking about "those guys". No one likes "those guys". Don't be "that guy", guys. True metal heads are open to any and all music. You know, when I'm not busy listening to SLAYERRR!!!, I sometimes even like to put on some good ol' pop while doing housework! [cut away to two men with long hair headbanging to Taylor Swift - Shake it Off]

"But how can I become one of you guys???" you might ask. Well, the answer is simple, my friend. You want to be a metalhead? Well, congratulations, you now ARE a metalhead! There are no prerequisites for joining us! So throw those horns and let the power of the RIFF take you away, mwuhahaha!! *looks at the ceiling, makes an exaggerated face and slowly raises hand while doing the devil's horn*

See you at Wacken.

Metal only belong to Millenials or above.

>>126989979
There is no overlap. Never was.
Of course, there is a small percentage of classical listeners who like to listen to popular music every now and then, but those are in the tiniest minority. Metalturds pretend their genre is "above all else" artistically (while musically being the polar opposite), and that's exactly why they want to associate themselves and their lowbrow genre with classical music. This >>126988893 (& You) is an example of a metalfag who obviously doesn't listen to classical music. These metalfags you're talking of listen to classical playlists in background once in a decade or so, which is equivalent of listening to AI generated djent and claiming you're a metalfag. Wannabe intellectuals, nothing else.

Nice ChatGPT posts. And in any case metal actually died in the 90s.

>>126991028
Not GPT... zoomers really are scared of the spongebob credits. Why do they get an opinion on metal?

what killed metal was when it stopped being for sex having normies and became incel shit with some fat fuck yelling in a growl voice about Vikings over downtuned riffs with no solos. absolutely unlistenable. you want to fix metal, give it some actual sex appeal.

>>126990703
>This but unironically for bands up until the mid 90s
First, I wasn't being ironic. Second, nah, fuKKK that. Most I can concede is 1990. The rest is irredeemable SHIT (unless it's bands doing the 80s style but not worshipping, ripping off, or copying, just with the same ENERGY and FEELING).

>>126991048
Zoomer here, what the fuck is wrong with my people?

>>126991103

Kill yourself

>>126991096
nobody wants to turn into Wynton Marsalis who killed jazz by demanding everyone reenact 1958 for rhe rest of forever

i see tons of metal zoomers around. they're just into underground shit instead of gay stadium metal which is how it should be.

>>126991126
>>126991150
Are you guys really telling me I'm not allowed to talk shit about the bad eggs in my generation? Talk about rent free.

>>126991160
Actually, that's exactly what metal fuKKKing needs. Not reenactment, but REGRESSION and STAGNATION. Progression caused all the FALSE, WEAK, PATHETIC, POSER, DISGUSTING SHIT to pop up, the same GARBAGE that gets listened to by clueless, worthless, brainless snobs. The less people like metal, as long as it's REAL metal, the better. And it's mostly about capturing a very specific feeling, individualistic and chaotic, unlike anything else. There's no metal identity otherwise, and there shouldn't be.

>>126991199
Exactly most oldheads are so tapped out of the scene, they just listen to whatever new band is copying the boomer gay stadium sound and be like yeah metal is dead

>>126983533
>t. Chink

when i was younger i always wondered why they don't make metal riffs more complex... idk... sorry

>>126991472
>more complex
A bit hard to top this ;)

Except the entire dozen is rotten

>>126991199
Metal had a lot more cultural relevance when it was Rock In Moscow though.

>>126983351 (OP)
>metal is dead
Wrong

A lot of coping ITT because metal can’t fill up a stadium.

>>126991754
Black Sabbath just did

>>126991769
With how many supporting musicians?

>>126991754
LOL
LMAO EVEN

>>126991723
That faggot shit is not metal

>>126991769

Fucking aquaman was moshing in the pantera pit kek

>>126983351 (OP)
Metal's still got alot of of loyal fans outside the anglosphere. Y'all aint got no soul, everytime a metal band goes to south america they fill up stadiums and have to add more days to their shows.

>shitting on new metal based on the guys who play it and won't bother looking or even listen to their music
you're all becoming your dad

>>126991778
They're like 80 and the frontman is in a wheelchair, give them a break man

>>126992013
They really shouldn't have even been able to get up there and play at all with their age and physical damage (especially Ozzy, holy god) caused by decades of substance abuse.

>>126983351 (OP)
stupid frog OP

>>126991754
Cuz zoomers are gay and have the minds of church ladies and are offended by everything unless you're black or a woman. Then you're empowering

>>126991723
Both of them are around 40

>>126983351 (OP)
Sleep Token and Ghost just made metal mainstream again

>>126994157
that's Millenials though

>>126994157
Let the gay boys and girlies have fun, old man.

>>126991723
neither metal nor music

>>126983533

Everything is dead forever.
Swing died.
50s rock died.
60s rock died.
70s rock died.
80s new wave and glam died.
90s grunge died.
etc.
No style lasts longer than a decade; and the 80s was it for metal in the main, maybe 82-92.
Forever, we all die.

>>126983351 (OP)
uspm is probably the last scene to stay true to its metal roots while still being fairly innovative

>>126994481
So we should let 10% of the population tell us what is what then. Fuck off

>>126991769
