I say this as someone who listens to extreme metal almost exclusively

    Yup. Rap was getting popular? RAP IS CRAP. EDM was getting popular? They aren't playing real instruments! Pretty sure these fools were hating on disco back in its prime. Like , are you just trying to dog whistle that you hate gay black and brown people?

    At least younger metal fans are less cliquey.

      there's been a lot of overlap between rap & extreme metal fans for a couple decades now

      those dog whistles are definitely still there but they just seem like this weird anachronistic throwback at this point
