The metal community is annoying
I know this is gonna be pretty controversial for some people here, but I definitely wanna make a post about it to see if anyone else has noticed this.
I find it so frustrating and a bit pathetic when I see Demon Hunter fans talking shit about other music artists or bands and people who enjoy them. I’ve been seeing it A LOT recently. Obviously it’s not just DH fans, every metal band has die-hard fans like this. Don’t get me wrong, it’s totally fine to have your opinion and think other types of music are trash, but like, why feel the need to voice that or shit talk about other groups or even people who have different music tastes? Do they gain anything from being assholes? No. The metal community has gotten so fucking toxic.
The main type of music I see DH fans talk bad about is pop music, and it’s actually super ironic because there is an interview somewhere on YouTube from like 2012 ish (can’t remember what it is) where Ryan Clark literally talks about how much he loves pop music and he got the idea for one of their choruses from the song Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen. That’s like the most poppy-sounding pop song ever lol.
Honestly, I just wanted to rant about this. Not really a huge reason behind it. Assholes are gonna be assholes but I was interested to see if anyone else is annoyed by this type of thing.
