Did you grow out of listening to metal? For me I can't enjoy metal music as an adult I just don't have the energy for it. I can only see myself listening to it if I was lifting weight buts thats it.

I still enjoy metal as an adult. I dont take it as seriously as i did as a youngster though. It makes me feel hyped up and aggressive. Its good for working out.

>>81560979 (OP)
I can barely enjoy music period. I can literally only listen to like, video game music, ambient music, classical music, and jazz music. Yet as a teen I constantly listened to metal but now I can't stomach to listen to it whatsoever, but again this basically goes to virtually all music

>>81560979 (OP)
I used to be really really into powermetal back in HS. I'd go to my friends house and we'd just lay down on his bed with the lights off listening to the new albums of whatever bands we liked at the time using his surround sound speakers in his room. He was into classic stuff like Metallica and Megadeth while I was into shit like Powerwolf and Alestorm, those were good times. But yes, I started growing out of metal a bit after I graduated, it kinda just stopped appealing to me for whatever reason. Nowadays I mostly just listen to the sans stuff I've always listened to, mostly old Russian music like classical waltzes, military marches, and orthodox chants.

Typically you branch off to explore different or emerging subgenres of metal.
idk who told you you're meant to listen to the same power metal bands your entire life.

Currently enjoy a lot of recent black/dsbm

I really only like mathcore and dissonant black metal and brutal death metal now.

>>81561211
Don't diss symphonic metal. Besides, I tried other genres to varying degrees of success. Symphonic metal I really liked, but stuff like doom/death/black metal and it all never clicked with me. I just grew outta it is all.

>>81560979 (OP)
When I was a teenager it was all thrash and progressive metal for me. As Ive gotten older I found I still like prog, but stuffy technical wankery doesn't appeal.

Now I listen to black and death metal mostly. Bands like Nile, Behemoth, Morbid Angel, Opeth, Enslaved, Shining, etc

>>81561255
I think it's more just the "attitude" of the subgenre of music that appeals to metalheads. I never liked power metal, symphonic metal at all - it was way too energetic and upbeat even if it was grandiose in a way I liked. I think the only power metal album I can put up with is Carolus Rex

I really enjoy super dark stuff, like basically my favourite song as an adult is blow your trumpets gabriel

>>81560979 (OP)
Yeah it gets annoying after awhile, just causes a fucking headache. Same with rap. It's just soundslop.

People who listen to only metal and watch only horror movies are just immature. Old 4chan has so many of these dudes who "only listened to metal and classical" and "and classical" became a meme so they didn't look like musical amateur's, it's what they coped with to pretend they didn't have shitty, childish tastes.

And I've never seen these fucks every actually listen to classical stuff. They just paid lip service to it.

Nowadays I listen to stuff like this:

or

Just chilled out ambient music for the background. Immature fucks need music with a plot so they can relate to it's character. I work in the music industry too, everything is a fake and gay marketing scheme. Metal bands and rappers all act like pussy ass rich normies backstage anyways.

>>81561255
you liked two of the distinctly most "pop" genres of metal. you just said you never even liked black/doom/heavier stuff. You can't
"grow out" a music you never even liked in the first place.

No I don't like that many things anymore but there are some metal bands that I still listen to. When something is really heavy it makes me happy like a really good joke

>>81561284
I agree, there's definitely a lot of overlap in what genres of metal people like based on how similar they are. I never actually liked Sabaton that much, most of their songs felt kinda uninspired desu.

>>81561347
See what does that even fuckin mean? How does being faster make metal more "pop-esque?" I never understood this incessant need to gatekeep among certain metalheads.

>>81561411
What he means is they are somewhat adjacent. They take after classic heavy metal and rely heavily on hooks, guitar virtuosity. It is a normie-ish genre to like especially compared to something like this

>>81561436
And THAT is normie-ish compared to this. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RUGmv4mvZt0
There's many different tiers of hardness.

>>81560979 (OP)
its mostly just anything produced past like 1999/early Y2k
modern vanilla sausage metal is physically grating to the ears

>>81561411
I like power and symphonic. they're definitely more "pop" as in its easier to imagine them playing on radio.

You're one being a pretentious fucking douche talking about "growing out" of a genre. I'm just pointing out you're being retarded.

>>81561498
Nope. The trend of metal in general seems to be to add Meshuggah and metalcore to everything, and to overproduce the fuck out of it, but it's easy to find stuff that doesn't do this
For example

>>81561587
Meshuggah is great, dude. The I EP mogs most metal.

>>81561613
I like Meshuggah too, obzen in particular. But who they influenced like fucking periphery is garbage cancer homo shit that needs to be burned with fire. If I have to hear Spencer Sotelo say "dream" one more fucking time I'm gonna kms

>>81561587
>muh underground
still sounds like ear grating bullshit

>>81560979 (OP)
I used to be much more exploratory but now I basically only listen to prog and a few black metal bands.
Shoutout Ne Obliviscaris for creating Devour Me Colossus, one of the best metal songs to grace this planet

>>81560979 (OP)
I still listen to it, but not as much as I used to.

>>81560979 (OP)
My dad still gets drunk and plays it out loud full volume at 55 years old

I still listen to it, but nothing new, just the stuff I grew up listening to, mostly prog and tech death.

I hate using the term "growing out of" metal. I don't think metal is childish, I don't think that metal is beneath me. I simply have branched out into different types of music I enjoy, and most of them don't include metal these days. There's still a spot in my heart for metal, but it now has to share that space with a lot more. That sounds super fucking gay but it's the best way I could think to describe it.

Mostly these days I find myself falling into just whatever slop the Youtube algorithm wants to throw me. Though I still keep all the old metal I listened to on my phone for driving music.

Yeah it's weird how Youtube sucks and shows obviously bought-out bias when selecting videos for you...
But damn the algorithm really gets your taste in music and makes a perfect DJ.

>>81562032
Music is one of the few aspects of youtube that hasn't fallen to the agenda, because like, its music. Still retains the golden age of the algorithm
