    I legitimately think one of the reasons why "Nu-metal Fashion" is making a comeback is because, like you said, it's more similar to hip-hop rather than metal or punk. Given how hip-hop is the dominant genre today, of course Nu-metal's baggy jeans, graphic tees, and chunky shoes would thrive.

    In Japan, the symbolism of choice instead of pentagrams were swastikas. Because in Japan, the pentagram isn’t as shocking, because there are not many christians, so you get bunch of guys looking like Mötley Crü, but with swastika armbands. The bands sound more like thrash metal, with elements from both glam and early black metal.
    The names of the bands also follow this topic, probably the best band of them is Rosenfeld. Others are Rommel, Hakenkreuz, Mein Kampf, Gyorai (torpedo in japanese) and bunch of bands with SS at the end.

    I don't think of Motorhead as starting off as a Metal band, they were a Rock N Roll band that didn't sound too different from the Sonics or MC5, they did early in their career incorporate Metal into their sounds and made full fledged Metal songs (Brotherhood of Man). Lemmy attested that he felt more aligned with the Punk circles than he did with Metal circles. Otherwise, Motorhead's music was rather varied, some were also be Punk rock (R.A.M.O.N.E.S), and others were also Hard Rock (Hellraiser).

    • @MGdelOeste
      @MGdelOeste Рік тому +5

      I always thought of them as a hard rock band not that different from AC/DC. A traditionalist 70s rock band (you can tell ZZ Top or even Grand Funk Railroad influences in their music) with a simpler approach and a punk twist. Having they appeared back in the early 70s, they would be considered a proto punk band like those from Detroit. But as they released their first records right after the punk explosion, they were lumped with the metal bands, because those were the ones which still openly carried early/mid 70s stylings (blues or, prog rock influences, guitar solos, long hair...). The difference between punk and metal back then wasn't exactly the one we see today. In the late 70s metal was seen as that traditional 70s hard rock offspring, contrary to punk which wanted to destroy it and somehow return to the basics. As I said before, I think you can compare Motorhead with AC/DC (and other Australian hard rock bands at the time) in that sense. AC/DC were even considered punk for a brief period of time there in Britain.

    • @John-k6f9k
      @John-k6f9k Рік тому +3

      They even had a ballad, a few slow, bluesy songs and one or two upbeat pop rock songs. People often criticize Motorhead for being one dimensional, but they were more diverse than say AC/ DC or Sex Pistols.
      They came after the Vietnam War though, so I'm not sure the bullet belts were a topical reference. Lemmy himself had a surprising long career in music, active in the late 60s, and I don't remember any bullet belts he wore then.

      Nah. Phil from Pantera used to have a hair metal style like shoe laces replacing the zipper on his pants and then because of New Orleans bands like Exhorder and Acid Bath he switched to the more Nola gutter punk gangster look.

      Nope. Scott going bald wasn't the change there. There are tons of pictures of Anthrax in super bright "camo" style baggy pants in about 1986. In lots of those, they're at some festival with Metallica and Jason Newsted is dressed the same way (or possibly wearing Frank's pants, but no one wants to hear obscure fangirl slash theories).

    At the core of it all, is the outwardly expression of discontent. Early rock got its basis in rhythm and blues. It's literally low art as opposed to symphonic or operatic high art. This is the music of the poor and working vlasses and is often an escape that appeals to every person on some level. When bands become popular, fans want to copy their aesthetic. When new bands build upon the existing ones, they copy the previous fans. Eventually, corporations get involved and market the s*** out of it all. And before you know it counterculture becomes worn by posers making it mainstream. Then people get bored and start wearing out of date or tattered old clothes to be even more rebellious and, and the cycle starts all over again. That is why fashion keeps making a comeback.

    Metalcore kid back in the day. Metal Militia Flat Brim, AA/PWD/MMF graphic t- shirt, Super skinny denim jeans, chunky studded belt, chucks, and a wrist band or two. Thrash metal kids wore the denim vest with patches, black blank tee, camo cargo shirts, combat boots, and nasty pony/rat tails. I remember the two groups liked a lot of the same thing, but the thrash kids thought they were total hardcore badasses because they liked older metal than newer ones.

    The reason why modern bands have such plain clothing is because they want to put as much emphasis on the music itself. And honestly I agree with that mentality. Sometimes the aesthetic adds to the live atmosphere, but often it's just a useless gimmick like in Sleep Token. Although there it isn't surprising since the band is full of useless gimmicks that don't add anything to the music.

      This. The point about the emphasis. Also if metal is "about freedom", why shouldn't anyone in it be able to dress ordinary if they want to? I believe being or not being a conformist in many aspects of life is not about performing a certain action but about the reasons for doing it. So if you dress how you want, why is it bad of you just because most people dress the same? It doesn't mean you try to be like them, you just happen to like same things.
