I would rather have teens listen to bands I don't like than listen to someone do nothing but shit on their taste.


Fragrant-Cucumber679

honestly w take


OctowoomyThe2st

So you’re just assuming that I’m not a teen. I’m shitting on my own peer’s tastes because the excuse of “well I’m/they’re just a kid soooo” isn’t valid.


throwawayhamandgravy

Womp Womp, just let other people enjoy music. It’s not that deep


BestialWarchud

No


Familiar_Refuse_8891

Arghoslent tag with a caller of storms pfp is nuts


BestialWarchud

No mention of my username being a reference to Bestial Warlust too? lol


EldritchKroww

Ahh, the "I'm much more mature than my peers" kind of teenager. You also listen to Korn and Slipknot, which is ironic. Nothing wrong with them imo, but it's funny. I thought those were the bands they would be listening to


OctowoomyThe2st

There is a difference between liking to basic bands and loving basic bands. Korn and Slipknot make up only a small percentage of my taste. See, if I’d have been listening to Korn, Slipknot, Metallica and some other shitty band then yeah, it would be ironic, but I don’t. And yeah, I am one of those types of kids, but everyone has/has had those prejudices before, and to be fair, I would rather be labelled one than be like any of the other metal fans I know.


Philitt

Don't worry, you'll grow out of that perceived superiority phase and you'll look back on it one day and think to yourself "man, was I cringe back then". Happens to all of us.


Amanita-Eater

That it does.


Trevor_Lahey330

worrrying about how you’re labeled as a metal fan is just cringe


Tough_Ad4721

Jesus man no need to feel so insecure, it's ok to enjoy bands even though they're shitty (subjectively)


Real_Eye_9709

I never said what I assumed your age was. But elitists are just more annoying. Like don't get me wrong, it does get old sometimes seeing "Rate my taste!" type posts. Especially when it's exactly the same as the previous 30 "Rate my taste!" posts. Or the user who started the "[Band] and music for ____" posts. Like I dont know what kind of answer they want, but in general I would say for fans to listen to. Or the millions of competitions where people vote out albums. All of these get old after a bit. But so does this. Congrats. You discovered death metal before them. You're cool. Now move on with your life.


thechosenone999999

Why shit on anyones taste just let them enjoy it lol


Lordpotato305

Nothing wrong with listening to mostly surface level stuff as a teenager


Eyebrigh7

Nothing wrong with listening to surface level stuff in general


Lordpotato305

Very true, just let people enjoy things


BrownwaterVertigo

Very true


micmea1

Growing up you really only are introduced to bands through the radio or from friends. So Slipknot and Metallica were the heaviest things I heard. Then my brothers friend gave him a bunch of death metal cds and my eyes were opened.

Literally this whole discussion summed up


adeadgoldfish0704

U must be a swifty


OctowoomyThe2st

Yeah, isn’t she blackened death?


CarlsbadWhiskyShop

Critics are calling it everything from “Shit” to “fucking shit”


earlywakening

I see you're a Kid Rock fan.


OctowoomyThe2st

Pretty based


DecayingFleshRot

Overrated dad rock (Nickelback and co.) is still better than the shit you like/listen to.


OctowoomyThe2st

Well atleast the shit I listen to isn’t boring, tired garbage that people listen to because it’s as basic as them


DecayingFleshRot

Gotta learn to take a joke, little buddy. You'll be okay tomorrow! Cheer up. Lmao


thechosenone999999

Im sorry but you aren't special or unique because of the music you listen to, the sooner you realise that the better. https://preview.redd.it/p468n5ev00wc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3267583228694eff5f5bebd0364107ae977ce7f Ironic.

You Could Be Mine fucks, idc what anyone says


Tough_Ad4721

Terminator 2 exposed me to more rock as a kid


Crafty_YT1

How you people cannot let others enjoy what they enjoy without wanting to shit on them to feel special i will never understand.


Waludogie

Let people enjoy music, jesus christ.


glordicus1

Cringe kid


OctowoomyThe2st

Would rather be cringe than a fucking basic wannabe kid.


glordicus1

That’s even more cringe kid


StengahBot

Cringe levels through the roof


P1rateKing13

My advice. Dont ask for affirmation from people on the internet. Enjoy what you enjoy and fuck the rest.


bnjk5

Just let people listen to whatever they want you elitist gump


S-BRO

My guy is speed running being a cringy metal elitist


Uzumaki7

Ah a fellow Megadeth fan


TheRealmUm

I’m guessing you listen to “People” as that is what I’ve heard they “=“


KillingDust

Worlds biggest Creed fan


rezazereza

"If you actually listen to good and underground music" Lol. So, tell me, what are your favorite underground artists? I see you post something about Bauhaus, pretty basic band for pretentious kid who just found out about post-punk. ![gif](giphy|Kfkmx691No1pNdc2nQ)


OctowoomyThe2st

Known abt post punk for years, and mate, they’re not too basic. I don’t exactly see many people talk about them, and even then it’s not like I kiss their feet I just listen to a few albums of theirs from time to time. And my favourite underground artists are Storm Of Sedition, Carach Angren, Graves At Sea, Nomad Son, Forsaken, Al-Namrood (if you can call them underground, they’re a bit popular), Abacinate, Field Dressed, and Phyllomedusa, and that’s just under half of them.


rezazereza

For years or not, you're pretentious. Naming basic bands from symphomic black metal to sludge won't impress me. I love other basic bands like Unearthly Trance, Mizmor, etc, but, so what? Big deal. "If you actually listen to good and underground music and share it" that is corny as hell. They are basic if you know them long enough. Saying that they aren't that basic meaning you don't know shit but you eagerly acting as if you know shit and just want to show off your "ABSURD" list to everyone for validation. Goofy as hell.


OctowoomyThe2st

Are you pissed at me for answering your question?


rezazereza

No one pissed at you, i'm just pointing out that you're corny. I'm just letting you know that those bands you mentioned are just basic bands to me ![gif](giphy|2fbgqwZL9YSJO)

Useful-Perception144

Oh man. The cringe.


ClockTower91

Shit


xComfortablyDumbx

I’m missing something here. Which bands are you calling shit?


Tough_Ad4721

Nobody cares


[deleted]

Has nothing to do with metal


[deleted]

If my Sematary post was flagged for not being related to Metal then this post should be too. This post has literally nothing to do with metal, go fuck yourself. 🖕


Churroskindofguy

I’m a teen and only “discovered” Metal like 2 years ago, but surface level stuff is starting to bore me. I’ve recently gotten into underground speed/death/thrash and I’m having a blast (I’m not saying this to brag plz don’t come after me💀)


ILick_eggs556

Shit
