[QUOTE="Kalopsia:132415"]many metal fans are lazy. with your first question, i'm assuming you mean how come metal heads don't support metal itself as much as hardcore fans do (prime example: show attendance). remember metal, especially death metal, mostly relates to misanthropic/depressed/anti-social people. and yes there's just too much going on in metal songs for the majority of people to accept. being a musician, i NEVER say "there's just too much going on in the song for me to understand it" because i always can understand everything that happens in the songs. only die hard metal fans and people who are open to new music will ever understand death metal. i am so fucking sick of people claiming "i don't like it because you can't understand what they're saying." but in current music, NO ONE has songs where u can make out every single word as they were originally written. i've heard Britney Spears songs where i didn't know what she said in a verse. so what is the big fucking dilemma? because we sing in a much lower (or higher) octave. people also can't understand the reason behind the vocal use in extreme metal. and it's very simple, if you're going to have extreme music and lyrics, you gotta have extreme vocals too. if you had Steven Tyler singing in Cannibal Corpse, it would not work. the majority of people are just plain ignorant and close-minded. if you don't like it that's fine, but at least understand it before you go bashing it. but anyways, subculture is extremely important. if you don't have that, then you don't have a scene. and EVERYTHING is a scene/trend/ect. i've made many friends over the years with other people because they are metal fans. there definately is too much negativity in metal though. i for one, want extreme metal to go mainstream. for one, the bands deserve it. second, i don't know about the rest of you, but i'd rather turn on the tv and see Suffocation's "Surgery of Impalement" than Usher's "Yea" any day. and too many metal fans want to keep it underground. why would u wanna hold them back? if my best friend wants to go to law school, i'm not gonna hold him back so he ends up working at Burger King for the rest of his life, so why would i want to hold back my favorite bands too? people will battle that by saying "i don't want posers corrupting the death metal scene and turn it into some nu-metal fag shit" that's not necessarily true. before i got into death metal, i listened to nu-metal. i listened to korn, kid rock, limp bizkit, godsmack. now, i hate every single one of those bands. if i can change, then others can change too.[/QUOTE]
