The Cult Is Alive...? Admittedly its on the more BM end of crust.

I think the term "blackened Crust" emphazises more the "Crust" than the "blackened" and TCIA is still closer to (Black) Metal than it is to Crust. In it's core TCIA is the same as Hate Them or Sardonic Wrath before. They just broke some parts in their amps for a more dirty sound and amped it up to 11.

Why do you have it?
There was a political disagreement between black metal heads, and it happened one of the leftists left his battle vest behind.

"Black metal is class war"
 
Grunge was more of a favorite with music critics, who were personally invested in making it seem like it was this major force in the music industry when shit like REM already paved the runway. The problem was that they hated hair metal because they were unabashedly masculine, even as they dressed like faggots. It was the music their bullies who beat them up and stole their girlfriends listened to. Fags like Kurt Cobain were feminists and grunge was supposed to resemble progress. So they actively fought for grunge and against hair metal. So that’s why there’s this total rewrite of the music scene in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it’s considered canon and every Generation X faggot follows along.
There's no doubt (pun intended) that mainstream music critics inflated grunge's legacy and have always given softball reviews to anything nihilistic and glorifying heroin. I don't want to do a straight edge sperg rant but i've seen cheesy or "feel good" used so often by rym users aping their favorite critics to condemn music as if joy is the enemy of art. There's a place in music for both concept albums about addiction and hard rock songs about driving fast

You see it a lot on P2P like soulseek or old forums and torrent trackers. If your goal when buying stuff is to share it publicly but then curate who has access to it, why bother pirating at all?
glad to know there are fellow kiwis on slsk. I don't leave nicotene open as much as i wish to anymore but I'd say with 4TB of music alone that none of it is "locked" and i see anything taken from me as insurance incase my backups of backups fail, someone is enjoying it. my name there begins with "pizzahut"

to contribute something of my own, Catch 22's work after Toh left is still solid, though increasingly inconsistent. Its worth a listen for fans of Keasby Nights and i loathe people who skip over albums just because (((approved voices))) don't recommend them on 3x3 or 5x5 genre charts

You could argue that Soulja Boy and his hit Crank Dat inspired other shitty dance rap songs that people like to dance to on social media.

Not sure if what I'm gonna say is an unpopular view but fuck it anyways.

I fucking HATE Ghost. I really fucking do. Loathsome talentless cunts who have made nothing good. All they have made is overproduced, manufactured, pop metal fucking CANCER.
sadly ghost is the most interesting radio rock act to come out of the 2010s. still, a pitifully low bar, don't see why people are raving over them. maybe it's their FNAF-tier hidden lore or some shit
 
If you can't enjoy a single AOR band, then you're a hapless faggot who's cynical faggotry exceeds that of even the most doomposting killjoys on this fruit forum. I'll only grant you mercy if your hatred is for AOR made after the first two or three years of the 80s.
Likewise, I think most "buttrock" is a lot of fun, if only because it reminds me of a happier time for myself and most people's lives. Unless you like shit like Buckcherry, Five Finger Death Punch or Volbeat. Then you can eat shit.
No other genres to me are more fun to blare in a car or sing along to. Nothing is wrong with semi-saccharine popular rock music unless you're a self-serious music-elitist faggot. And if a self-proclaimed self-serious music-elitist faggot is telling you that, there's a problem.

Take your punk, prog and endless offbrand metal genres and go fuck yourself.

Common’s Be album was the perfect example of
being ”proto-woke” without being too in your face with it. The last song in particular was pretty much proof of it:


The album has him talking about reparations, Afro-American ideals mixed with possible Che Guevara support and taking back land and acres that they supposedly thought was theirs during slavery times.

Not even his Like Water For Chocolate album was as blatant as this, and I say this as someone that used to listen this album a lot mainly for the Ye/Kanye West and J. Dilla production credits.
 
I really loved Dark Side Of The Moon the first time I heard it, but over time I've found myself skipping it whenever it's in rotation. I still like a couple of the songs but songs like The Great Gig In The Sky really kill the flow of anything before or after it and I've heard Money so often I'm sick of it.
 
Fleetwood Mac is a precursor to those indie folk groups who are best known for strumming a banjo and saying “Hey!” and getting a shit ton of airplay because radios don’t like to play anything else. I feel like if the group was at its peak in the 2010’s instead of the 1970’s, they’d be celebrated for being “real music” and not “autotuned dogshit”.

-Creates one of the best covers and visual concepts for a band
-Proceeds to create a mediocre, repetitive, reddit-style and simplistic music chain that does not do justice to the visual aesthetics and appeals for the tiktok hivemind.
-Occasionally uses "hail satan" messages to be "groundbreaking"
-I found out that the main vocalist doesn't even give credit to his musicians and takes credit for all of the songs even though he doesn't create everything and can't even play simple chords at interviews.
-Ghost fans be like: "I'm a metal fan. Metal is so cool" --> Me: *Shows them some good metal* --> Ghost fans: *twitter discovering behaviour*
-"Yep. Ghost is shit"
