Overnight the country went from being trad nordic tradjaks and cottagecore blushing womanjaks to being very crying soyjak.
*Death Metal/Progressive Metal, not Black Metal. (Sorry for being pedantic.)
Me when they call it emo tiktok music instead of alt-pop goblincore nightcore chipmunk hyperfusion
Death metal has its roots in the anarcho-punk movement. Black metal is mainly prominent among neo-Nazis. So yes, people get a little pissed if you conflate the two.
Tossup between that and Nu-Metal, really. One's for suburban white kids, the other is for Norwegian mall pandas and suburban white kids who wish they were Norwegian mall pandas on their way to bvrn a chvrch.
Black metal is mainly prominent among neo-Nazis.
The existence of Varg Vikernes in the early scene has had disastrous consequences and there are a lot of artists to avoid, but I still think this statement is somewhat unfair to where black metal is today.
People have learned to apply the NSBM label extremely liberally as a way of isolating those artists from the rest of the scene, but just because no one talks about RABM (red/anachist bm) doesn't mean it's not there, just that there's less urgency in pointing it out. To my knowledge (haven't looked in a bit admittedly) Mgla doesn't really have abhorrent statements or lyrics, but it's widely labelled as NSBM because of interaction with individuals who are more clearly NS-adjacent. It's healthy to do this because it's extremely helpful for listeners who want to avoid supporting that stuff - we're at the point where if there's any sketch and the group is not unknown, you'll probably find out pretty quickly. Going in the other direction though, there's no urgency to label something like Obsequiae as RABM under the same logic. Knowing that they are leftist is an interesting fact and there will be people who care, but it's very different from a dire warning that it needs to be avoided. It's just not going to be talked about with the same emphasis.
Using the NSBM label very liberally has been increasingly effective in creating a schism between the NS groups and the artists who don't want to associate. Neige (Alcest guy) I believe went to high school with the Peste Noire guy and they collaborated on stuff as teenagers including Alcest. Neige put out a statement a while back to apologize and condemn that. To my knowledge his own words had never been problematic, but more and more artists are explicitly picking sides.
There's some antifascist black metal out there, but it's like searching for diamonds in a giant pile of steaming shit
They dialed down the prog/death elements a bit for that particular performance but it still went pretty hard, great performance all around.
You'd think it would be, but I've been seeing crackers
over the imagery.It's hilarious because that ceremony was literally just a part of French history. These people are deeply unserious
IMPORTANT UPDATE
They also found it necessary to tell us what "controversial social media personality Andrew Tate" thought about it. Love the San Francisco Chronicle, such a great newspaper.
Failed Comedian --> Reactionary Tradcath (Schneider is here) --> CIA Asset
The Pipeline.
Ngl: Would watch a movie with him as a bumbling CIA agent trying to coup Venezuela.
It would have Kevin James as Maduro.
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo has an opinion on the decaying morals of society.
For once I agree with the chuds, it was woke, it was gay. AND I WANT IT MORE WOKE AND GAY!
God damnit how many times do I have to tell people it's not gay, it's just french. That's just how they are.
