Two week nap edition
A thread for extreme, abrasive, technical, progressive, or experimental music under the rock umbrella. This means metal, hardcore, experimental rock, noise rock, and others. Music that is mainstream, "alternative", novelty-driven, "proggy" but not progressive, or not rock music in any sense, is discouraged.
>Is [genre/band/album] fit for /xxr/?
If you have to ask, probably not.

>>"proggy" but not progressive
>The fuck does that mean?
Music that mimics early prog music without attempting any advancement of the artist's expression or the genre's limits, and so REGRESSES into prawg quotation, imitation, and masturbation. Think Absolute Elsewhere, the worst of Psychic Secretions, and much of Dream Theater.
Since /prog/ exists, and /metal/ persists despite its necrosis, then regressive prog rock/metal has one, if not two places to go. /xxr/ should not be the third.
>And why is mainstream shit discouraged when in reality it's still a discussion?
Why is it discouraged in the extreme/experimental rock thread? Are you serious? What does "still a discussion" mean or do to excuse anything?
I want to set higher standards for anons and myself. I love mainstream rock and heavy metal, but this can't just be the "shit I like" general. Heavy metal is, broadly, not extreme nor experimental.
>I thought this was just a rat free /metal/ alternative with broader scope...
Generally, yes...
>...to stop "not metal" shitposts for every album posted.
That's a benefit, but you projected what you wanted onto what I made and assumed you knew everything I was thinking.
To make a general that might live beyond the initial purpose of a metalhead's refuge from schizos, I changed the scope from metal (which could mean Deep Purple or Deathspell Omega) to E/ER. This shifts it away from an aesthetic classification, closer to a collection of common musical aspirations.
