#metal elitists

[grossbabygoblin]

I don’t care how un cool and not edgy enough it is considered by ppl who like heavier music like. I love Waterparks and all my other fun funky pop punk and straight up pop artists so suck it. Metal and punk elitists get off my fucking dick.

Metal elitists when metalheads listen to metal other than the two bands they know:

Metal elitists when not all music is metal (or the 1-2 metal subgenres they know):

Metal elitists when they say "this band isn't metal" about a band that isn't metal:

Iggy you like corn?

[testure-1988]

Ok I hate to really be THAT person but Type O Negative isn't a goth band

Toxic elitist metalhead gets called out by an actual metal band. We need more of this

[pissmoon]

Dying species of 'black metallers are pussies and wimps, death>black' metalheads

when guys in the metal scene (metalcore specifically) claim that a fandom is so annoying, why do they always blame it on the "FeMaLeS"? always pointing at women, who are just enjoying themselves and minding their own business. i swear, god forbid women enjoy anything at this point. 💀

I think we really need to discuss the misogyny in certain band fanbases, particularly in the Bad Omens fanbase tbh.

The metal elitists in general hate it when women or feminine presenting people happen to enjoy something they also enjoy, and act like every fangirl in a bands fanbase is an utter creep when that simply is not the case. I've seen so many women and feminine presenting people get trashed online simply for being fans of Bad Omens, and they are constantly told that they are creeps and sexualising the band when the majority of them don't. Women and feminine presenting people were blamed for Noah deleting his social media accounts for example when there is zero evidence of that being a reason, and many people act like every woman and feminine presenting person who likes Bad Omens doesn't care about the music and that they just want to sexualise and thirst over the band, which is not the case. It's incredibly annoying behaviour because many men also find some of the band members attractive, yet you will never see them get any of the hate for it. All the creepy behaviour is blamed on women and feminine presenting people despite the people going to Noah's house and searching up his relatives obituaries being an extremely low percentage of the fanbase, and it's likely that some of these creeps were also men.

Being a creepy fan is not linked to gender and acting like all fangirls are creepy is pure and simple misogyny. It's simply not acceptable. Statements like 'fangirls only like x band because you find the members attractive' are rooted in misogyny, elitists. You cannot say things like that and claim to be a feminist. There are many men who also find male musicians attractive and some take it too far as well but they won't get anywhere near the same level of criticism. This applies to so many metal bands in the genre tbh and not just BO, but I've seen too many annoying generalising posts on Twitter about this band's non-male fans. The majority of fangirls just want to enjoy the music in peace, myself included.

Maybe a controversial opinion that y'all are going to take the wrong way but. Metal is a music genre, not a honorific title. People who say Sleep Token isn't metal might think they're insulting ST but they actually aren't. People who say ST is metal might think they're defending ST but they actually aren't.

"Is ST metal?" is a purely neutral debate. The answer, whatever it is, should only matter to you when you're looking for their discography at the store and you want to know what category they might be in because you have a bus to catch and you don't want to wander around the aisles for half an hour. It says nothing about the band's merits.

I think if we could all agree on that, we wouldn't get mad at each other.

Someone with a "I support gatekeeping" thing on their blog just reblogged from me 😂 I think you are in the wrong place

[iamonlyhereforthefreefood]

Do you know know how jarring it was to hear a Ghost song and have it be like pop rock? Like bro with all the satanic imagery and shit I was expecting something heavier.

[irhabiya]

ivee come to the conclusion that i dislike or am indifferent to most metal music my favorite genre of music just happens to be a metal subgenre...

Rough description of my new muses, members of a group called Deadly Extravaganza, aka what if the seven deadly sins made a group together lol. I'll eventually add more information on the group and muses, I just wanted to finally post this and set these menaces free. I put it under the cut because it gets a little long.

Claude, they/them (fc: Park Seonghwa) -- the personification of Lust; main vocalist, main dancer, sub rapper & face of the group, can also play the guitar and the saxophone; it's painfully obvious to everyone, including fans and viewers that they're the most favoured member out of the group even leading up to rumours of them being in a relationship with their company's CEO (though it's never been confirmed nor denied). 1/3 of the "I only kill eat boys" club; in an open relationship with Don and Eris and always looking for an addition.

Do beware of potentially explicit stuff, for obvious reasons.

They were the first person in the group to be introduced to the public with the songs BEG! (with backing vocals from Kali) & Closer

Jiyoo Ava, she/her (fc: Yoo Jimin/Karina) -- the personification of Greed. The person she possessed used to be a doctor who truly wanted to help people instead of caring more about their paycheck, but gradually lost hope due to corporate greed. The actual person died in a housefire as she took over, the doctors were surprised she survived, but they did not know the full true story. What they found even more confusing for them how only her fingertips were burned up (and she still has burn scars there), but other than that she was completely fine, it didn't make any sense compared to the time frame she was presumably trapped in the fire. To the surprise of all the people who once knew the previous person, Ava changed her name and turned her life full 180° by becoming a singer, she also cut all contact with those people. (Also nepo baby allegations? I don't know her) Despite all of that one could say there are still remnants of the old Jiyoo.

She was the second member of the group to be introduced to the public with the songs BLOODMONEY and Midas Touch

Don, he/him (fc: Bang Chan)-- the personification of Pride; the tired leader of the group who constantly has to argue with Kali, especially when they share the screaming parts in songs. More information on him tba.

The third member to be introduced to the public with the songs Sun//Eater and Personal Jesus (there was a leaked snipped of a song called God Complex thought to have been for him, but later on the full song was released as a duo song sung by Ava and Eris and him only doing some of the backing vocals)

playlist + pinterest

Eris, she/her (fc: Seo Soojin) -- the personification of Envy; sub vocalist and lead dancer of the group (she's good at contemporary dance as well), can play the flute. Despite the fact Don and Claude don't exactly like Yi and Luca, she secretly meets with them for the latest tea. more information on her tba.

The fourth member to be introduced to the public with the songs Obsessed and INVU

playlist + pinterest

Dennis, deadboycoric (afab), it/its (fc: Huening Kai) -- the personification of Gluttony; lead vocalist & visual, can also play the piano and the guitar, its screaming vocals are extremely underappreciated both by the company and the fans; one of the less serious members of of the group, 1/3 of the "I only kill eat boys" club. Annoying little bastard. It kind of works as a manager of the group (even though they do have one that's not part of them) and plans things for them.

The fifth member to be introduced to the public with the songs Teeth and Concrete

Important note: Do keep in mind that if you want to interact with this muse it's possible for triggering topics such as eating disorders to pop up.

Kali, also known by the nickname "Rex", she/her, they/the & he/him (fc: Huh Yunjin) -- the personification of Wrath; lead vocalist, lead dancer & main rapper, if there are any screams in a song, she's usually the one to take care of them, can play the drums, from time to time she does some DJ gigs at clubs too, a big chunk of the group's music is created with her help; she's been a part of a few musicals and movies as well. Stronger than all the other members combined together, 1/3 of the "I only kill eat boys" club (no but really, if you're a man you should be scared for your life if you're alone in a room with her, she doesn't fuck around); the girlies are gatekeeping her, and for good reasons. Has a short temper and anger issues, and usually constantly has beef with at least one of the other members, as they should; will always argue with the leader of the group. She's also the member with the most scandals revolving around fighting; just give her a bat, I promise nothing bad will happen. Surprisingly hasn't started any fires so far, or at least that's what they say. "At least I am the life of the party!" (Claude - "Keep dreaming, babygirl.") Anger issues aside, Kali is probably the member who has the most empathy towards humans, especially those treated unfairly, and being fair is very important to her. Despite being the one who does a huge chunk of the work to make music and stuff, she's probably the most neglected member of the group. She would be your scary dog if you want to go out at night and not have to worry about being in danger, but if you call her "Rexie", she will fuck you up.

She was the last one to be introduced to the public with the song Burn Your Village (featuring Ava). Later there were leaks of three songs rumoured to have been possible demos for her debut called Growing Pain (later released as a full song sung by all the member in an album), Brutus & K.O (later released as a separate solo songs of hers).

Nyx, any pronouns, aroace (fc: Park Jongseong/Jay) -- the personification of Sloth; tired all of the time, honestly not really in the band - he doesn't often get involved in the making of the music, doesn't perform on stage at all, only goes to the studio from time to time to record some background vocals. Most of the time you could find Nyx at home in his room sleeping, they don't go out much often on their own so the rest of the members have to drag him out (with Kali usually being the one to bring it up). That caused of some rumours about the group having a secret member after some fans noticed the unfamiliar voice in the background of some songs and also finding images of him being with the members. On her own time, Nyx usually talks the most with Kali out of all the members, the others honestly kind of forget about her.

Important note: Triggering topics such as depression and trauma could be present when interacting with this muse.
