#Metalgate is here

[AnonymousBosch]

It looks like SJW's didn't learn their lesson from gamergate and tried to pull the same tricks on the heavy metal community.

I brought this up a few weeks back: Music journalism has been thoroughly co-opted by SJW's for a few years now. Any millennial communications / journalism major is brainwashed by Critical Theory. I don't see this as a focused attack on metal, but part of the ongoing attack on all music that doesn't fit their sensibilities. (EDM has a 'troubling misogyny problem'; any straight guy singing about girls is 'creepy' and 'entitled' and 'misogynistic'; all rap is misogyny so the bisexual rapper must be praised to the heavens).

Since the majority of communication / journalism majors are female, they favour trite teenage pop music well into their 30's, which is why you're far more likely to see articles reading bullshit depth into Beyoncé and Taylor Swift than anything unfamiliar that might challenge them, such as metal.

Emboldened by Facebook shares and likes, the last few years has been a torrent of this shite in mainstream music journalism, to the extent I barely bother reading about music - one of my major life passions - anymore.

Everything is now misogynistic or cultural appropriation, unless it's white privileged hipsters like Vampire Weekend or privileged white girls like Meaghan Trainor, who are excused, for some reason. Working class kids with guitars have been completely-eradicated from the music dialogue; indie music is the domain of the previous dilettante children of rich parents; and all country music is something to be mocked as 'being for stupid people'.

I have this theory the insufferable, preachy PC nature of the third wave feminists in 90's grunge, punk and rock, killed rock music by making it moralistic and uncool, particularly with the feminist push into punk at the time, which is why we saw the rise of Nu-Metal and the resurgence of shiny pop music.

It's basically a 90's hangover that was made worse by sites like Pitchfork, (though I did laugh at Robert Christgau's put-down of indie Portland darlings The Decemberists: 'Not as smart as they think they are, but smarter than their fans').

Unrelated but a guy got on stage during a metal concert and tried to take a selfie. The guitarist kicked the phone out of his hand:

Guitarist tweeted this:

the metal guys that would come to punk rock shows when I was a young lad were the type that invented choking girls during sex and I think kept the leather, whips and ball gag stores in business. I don't know how this can go over well...

Anyone at a mainstream festival should have seen the writing on the wall.

Consider Coachella this year, Motorhead's set.

When Lemmy came out, the first ten rows were millennials telling people to 'stop moshing' so they could 'get a better view' and 'take pictures'

That shit lasted ten seconds.

Is there video of this? That sounds hilarious.

This is not so much about the metal music scene per se, but about them going after any cultural niche that is perceived as being too "masculine" or insufficiently compliant with the SJW-party line. Yesterday it was gamers, today it may be metal music, tomorrow it will be someone or something else.

The target may change, but the attacker is always the same SJW crusader. And the goal is to infiltrate, corrupt, and destroy any organization or subculture that does not adhere to the feminist/SJW/anti-male party line. It's that simple.

In this war, there will be surprises. Some subcultures that appear to be "hard" or "masculine" will collapse without much of a fight. Others will put a surprisingly strong and spirited defense. You will be surprised by what you see.

You can't really tell what a group is made of until they are confronted with a challenge to their existence.

And some will hit back with a ferocity that will send the SJW scum reeling.

Still reckon this is going to look like a Viking army breaking into the Vestal Virgins' dormitories.

I'm just gonna put this here for the guys who are unaware about the types of people that can be found in the metal world:



This is gonna be beautiful.

It reminds me of the interrogation scene in The Dark Knight, when Jokers says to Batman "You have nothing, nothing to threaten me with, nothing to do with all your strength."

i watched the documentary before. That man's grandfather are such badasses for building a cabin so high up the mountain. The fortitude to do that is so remarkable.

Then near the end reporter asked a retarded question: "Do you ever feel lonely?" then he got ignored for the rest of the interview and that is the end of the interview.

I'm a metalhead. A very big metalhead. "Very big" as in I spend hours each day and most of money on metal.

Right now I am angry to the point of wanting to commit an act of violence.

Let's leave it at that.

I'm strange. It seems all of my close friends are metal heads, except me. I don't really care for metal. Never found it fun to listen to, but every metal head i've ever talked to was by far super cognizant, self aware, and smart. Haven't met a metalhead I couldn't like.

Best of luck to them. They'll give these spineless twats a good run for their money.

 

[Veloce]

Metal is a funny thing. I'm into metal, but for the music. I'm not into the scene or dressing like a metalhead.

Thing about metal, like any worthwhile genre, is its diversity. You can find DIEHARD fans of Rush (I know, prog rock, keep reading), Dream Theater, Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Death, Pantera, Slayer, Tool, Rammstein...You could get fans of all these bands in the same room and you'll find guys either have some common ground or fucking hate each other's guts (especially dudes hating on Dream Theater)

But I think that NOTHING would unite them like knowing that some entitled twats were getting up in arms about their favorite bands conforming to some SJW progressive agenda.

I'm highly looking forward to the backlash.

P.S. Fuck Serj Tankian. I never like SOD

ALL HAIL THE GODDESS OF CASTRATION!

Saw it coming, post from last year:

PSA: Girls do not like metal!


This is what happens when you allow attention seeking women into a scene, it gets them drunk on attention and neurotic females get jealous of the hot ones successfully monopolizing attention thus leading to weird SJW

 

[godfather dust]

i used to go to metal shows as a kid.

highlights: went to a slapshot show (that's the band name, guess they like hockey.) dude pulls out 2 knives, army knife type shit, and spinning in circles with a knife in each hand.

hatebreed show, enough said if you know the band, but 6 people left on stretchers.

deicide, dude got thrown off the balcony, solid 30 foot or so drop.

but ya metalheads are against society and all that so it's a bad target, i wouldn't be surprised if a couple (or all) SJW get stripped, raped, and strangled when they try to ban metal.

#Metalgate?

Now this is something I can get behind. heh

I have this theory the insufferable, preachy PC nature of the third wave feminists in 90's grunge, punk and rock, killed rock music by making it moralistic and uncool, particularly with the feminist push into punk at the time, which is why we saw the rise of Nu-Metal and the resurgence of shiny pop music.

i've always hated grunge, faggot/pussy music IMO.

they used to always say "nirvana killed hair metal YAY!!"

but hair metal was about having a good time and getting fucked up (AFAIK, born in 87), there's some jams in the genre.
grunge is just depressing. "i'm a loser i love heroin and i wear terrible clothes" is the vibe i get.

A lot of hot bitches liked hair metal back in the day.
