Some metalheads are just the shittiest people to talk about music to. They're always hyper-focused on their specific sub-genre of music and they get very upset when metal publications even talk about related genres e.g. darksynth or hardcore.
Like they still buy into the mentality that the music you listen to is what makes you cool or tough or manly, like they're still fucking 13
Metal has a similar problem to rap in that regard, that being the genre is very self-referential.
Almost every metal band has some stupid song like "Can't Kill Metal" or "Brothers of Metal" or some other shit with metal. We know you're a metal band you don't need to tell us every 5 seconds. I want a metal song, not a song about metal.
One thing I appreciated about the synthwave scene is how tight-knit, welcoming, and chill it was, probably due to massive crossover appeal in its heyday

Aww come on, some of us are pretty okay and not like that at all :deeper-sadness:
Hexbear metalheads are the coolest metal heads
:side-eye-1: :side-eye-2:
:lenin-laugh:
I only mean the most obnoxiously vocal ones
I have a friend who's super into metal but he also doesn't shit on other music. You guys do exist.
No worries man, I get it :fidel-salute:

Genre purism leads straight to stagnation too
It's an attitude that actively kills their own scene
