Being a black metal fan is a pain the ass. Half the time you'd spend listening to music is spent on finding obscure forum posts just to make sure they aren't nazis. The silver lining is there a lot of one man bands. So you only have to look up 1 guy. Still frustrating though. Can I just get some tremolo and blast beats without the nazi shit? At least theres bands like Blackbraid out there. RABM like Dawn Ray'd gives me hope. And that crazy Saudi band that would be executed for apostasy if the government found their identity so they keep it incognito.
There is some inspiring spirit in black metal. The NSBM fucks can all jump off a bridge.
And it turns out the band in question has like a 50/50 chance of being Nazis
Dated a blackmetal guy for a few weeks, it was literally 24/7 nonsense like this and maybe not my favorite genre
is there an equivalent of the youtube algorithm serving you unrequested rightist video "essays" but for this kind of thing? I think I might have listened to half of one dungeon synth song once several months ago and my front page always has five different german barbariansynth/paladin ambient albums from 2021 as well as a couple of what i assume are post-vaporwave records with vaguely fashy pictures and google-translated japanese titles
Hmmmm not sure. When I look up dungeon synth, at first glance, I get more dungeon synth, some Brian Eno, Alan Watts videos, and then recommendations for other stuff I usually watch like video essays on anime. I assume the algorithm is just recommending more dungeon synth but not specifically anything fash, unless it’s all fash and I don’t realize it.
Some choices are weighted more heavily than others. I click one leftist video and it recommends me another. I click one bronie video and it recommends me five. I dunno if this is more about consumer preference or marketing value but either way. There si a stickiness quotient that varies
