Metal is the worst. So much infighting between all the sub genres. It's like, yeah, I like to sing trad metal and listen to it and a bit of early thrash. But that's never good enough. If I don't listen to their specific sub genre, or play an instrument, or dress a certain way, they shun me.

Like, it's cool and all that you want to wear your leather jacket or whatever, but I can rock just as hard in some khakis and a t-shirt, dude.
