      I listen to metal because I was drawn to it as soon as I was exposed to it. I come from a somewhat musical family and listened to music as an infant and developed an ear for great music. I could play instruments by ear since I was two. I know what music sucks and that's mainly the mainstream bullshit for musically stupid people.

    I listen to metal because I absolutely adore the adrenaline rush I get from the music, it drives me insane and that I just love that feeling. I also love the music in general, it's far more deeper and meaningful than listening to most pop music today where everyone just copies everyone else and all the songs have the same beat and same rhythm. Oh and because people tend to leave me alone, I hate it when guys try to hit on me, so all I have to do is say I listen to metal and they run the other way xD.

    there are simply 2 reasons why boring people don't like metal.......
    1. they automatically associate metalheads with skulls, blood and other horror stuff, which is definitely not the case of every metal subgenre, so they just hate it, because they don't know enough about it, they also think that every single metalhead is a rebellious hellraiser and troublemaker, which is also bullshit......
    2. some people just don't like the music itself, cause it's too extreme for their own music taste...... I mean, if someone actually likes "music" like Justin Bieber, it is really hard to imagine that particular person liking rock music in general, nor the most quality and extreme version of it......

    "Why do you listen to metal?"
    It's not only because I like it, it is a genre of music that I can strongly relate to & why I consider it my very own sacred haven from all the horrible BS in life. The music, the riffs, the lore, & the diversity of creative lyrical themes whether it's about Darkness, War, Destruction, Dragons, Monsters, Demons, Skeletons, Dark Fantasy, Horror, Chaos, & all that other scary stuff. Everything about Metal just feels extremely transdimensional, orgasmic, & just incredibly amazing. After a while listening to my all time favorite bands like Disturbed, Mushroomhead, Korn, etc, I've decided to expand my tastes in Metal & started to dig deeper into pretty amazing bands such as Iced Earth, Within Temptation, Lannon, Fear of Domination, Hostile Breed, Dååth, & various others from genres like Thrash Metal, Nu Metal, Industrial Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Progressive Metal, Gothic Metal, Symphonic Metal, etc, etc. I listen to Metal because it helps me stay positive, it prevents my anxiety & depression, & it prevents me from overthinking about the horrible things in life & in all honesty I can be a very sensitive person & it's embarrassing to admit it. I used to get yelled at, bullied, picked on, mocked, emotionally & verbally humiliated all because I'm not like everybody else & that is something I should NEVER feel ashamed of. Literally everybody else only listens to Pop & Country because they have absolutely no musical standards whatsoever or maybe because it's "popular". I don't mind listening to other genres of music that are outside of Metal such as Dark Ambient, Classical Music, Eurodance, & Cybergothic music. I don't hate people for liking Pop & Country, I just hate the music in general because it's boring & it constantly sings about the same old repetitive lyrical themes whether it be a "love song" or a song about partying. It makes me sick having to hear those same old topics & always gets aired on the radio 24/7 nonstop. That's why I love Metal music because it has a vast variety of creative lyrical themes & such. Though I'll admit that I used to like Rap music when I was a little kid until when I've turned 11 & started checking out Rock & Metal music, then that's when my taste in music started to evolve & just thank God I stopped listening to Rap because that crap went farther down to the garbage disposal. Being a die-hard Metal fan has me special, unique, & proud, I even wanted to start my own Metal band because it's what I love doing & I feel heavily inspired by that. Despite all those loud harsh aggressive vocals, heavy riffs, & super brutally dark lyrical content, I am literally one of the very NICEST people on the planet & I guarantee you'd definitely like me as a good friend. My love & therapy for Metal music also shows that I'm not alone! I have few close best friends who share the same tastes of Metal & have shared their same experiences as I do. I could've never been that much happier in my lifetime because if Metal music didn't exist then my life would be in a different yet destructive path of misery.

      if you are interested, check out the 1970's "films d'auteur" movement in cinema. there are some things that are really out there. i actually have a printed script of a movie from that time period called "doux glissements du plaisir". i read it but i felt like i was reading pure surrealism. namely, the main actress covers herself in raw egg, script notes include the metaphorical message of her being impregnated by the dichotomy between nature wild and free and nature captive. i'm not making this up either. it gets weird from that point on. it's either mental masturbation or an excess of psychedelic drugs. i'm not sure which.

    As long as i can understand it, that's all that matters.
    Metal doesn't talk about Satan 24/7
    Metal lyrics can consist of helping others, philosophy, religion, logical information, feelings and emotions.
    Who could not resist Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Dio, Pantera, Gorgoroth, Mayhem, Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse and Metallica and much more. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON ROCK, GRUNGE AND CORE GENRES.

    Heavy metal isn't for everyone because it is esentially a wall of sound,
    You get bombarded with so many sounds at once it's difficult to tell whats going on therefore it just comes out as noise to the "normal" listener. But if you can hear the bigger picture and how it all comes together Heavy Metal is mindblowing. Not to mention how diverse it is. It varies from epic 8 minute orchestral pieces about fighting dragons to an absolute sonic assault that hits like a 10 ton truck and it can even be pirate themed (No Grave But The Sea HYPE).
    As for me, i listen to Heavy Metal because it's the first music genre that actually made an impact on me. One of my fondest memories is stealing my brothers Whoracle, putting it in the CD player and getting literally stunned by Jotun, spending the entire album sitting on my bed and staring at the wall with a dumbfounded look on my face.

    • @painkiller7769
      @painkiller7769 3 роки тому

      A person who can tell whats going on with those fucking good riffs and solos are more intelligent than a person who's listening to new pop music and new "mumble" shitty rap. The metal is an emotion and musicality source( same for blues, rock, hard rock and old school pop, rap and disco), that's why im listening to METAL.

      Of course! I think some people have herd mentality where if you diverge from the perceived music of black culture, you must be betraying your race somehow because you like 'white people music'. That's dumb anyway considering rock/metal originates with black people and most of the founders of metal were inspired by black musicians.

    • @MidnightIsolde
      @MidnightIsolde 7 років тому +6

      Some are, but if you're talking about the roots of metal it comes from rock which comes from blues. It's just that metal diverged and expanded it's sound to incorporate other elements but that still the base. Doesn't matter though does it at the end of the day. If you like it who cares what other people think.

    I listen to Metal because I think it's just what appeals to me, but specifically I love the willingness to push boundaries, the "don't care what others think" attitude, the community being accepting and friendly, being to able to identify with the bands and artists, the extremity of the music and the fact that we've managed to keep it alive since its beginnings despite being heavily ignored by mainstream culture.
