I’m no fan of metal but I’ve never liked the idea of gate keeping genres based on our personal preferences. There’s plenty of music out there that I love that I know others don’t care for and vice versa.

This just maybe, possibly, might be a shitpost
There's no bad genres, only bad music.
It seems someone hasn't heard of country rap!
What about Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals and Transition Metals.
MF you think we have photoshop money? Make the editor GIMP
You think you need to buy photoshop?? Both Captain Jack and mom would be disappointed!
GIVE ME TRANSLANTHANIDE METAL AND GIVE ME DEATH
I dislike all music except the Donkey Kong 64 intro aka DK Rap.
Finally, a person of taste!
When your shitpost works a little too good
Lowkey, I see a negative ratio as a mark of honour. I know I shatposted well when the average overserious Lemming lets their jimmies get rustled in the shitposting comm
Dude on the right thinks Barry Manilow is peak art
It might sound like noise to me, mostly, but I'm sure the things I like sound like boring elevator music to them, lol. 😅
All up to taste my guy. All music is inherently subjective.
The only real music is made by the mentally unwell homeless gentleman banging pots together and screaming slurs at passerby who I see coming home from the bar. Everything else is for posers!
True art.
except for NSBM. that's just bad.
Listen, if you don't like Metal, you can try again.
Better?
Fantano is a hipster, so he likes black metal.
69.420% better
You leave Crust Punk out of this!
Never!
God tier shitpost!
Curious to hear what kind of garbage you listen to OP
All sorts of garbage, been getting into punk-folk recently, but Avenged Sevenfold, Machine Head, Sabaton, and Ghost are my metal go-tos in no particular order
Decent garbage. 10/10 shitpost, 11/10 music taste
Tasteless post
Tasteless comment
Fine, I'll elaborate:
You create a post in which you mark a list of sub genres as garbage and claim metalheads are dumb people, based on your own musical taste.
Claiming you are smarter because your taste in something is different than others is dumb and ignorant. Making fun of others for their taste is tasteless, childish and sad.
Whether or not you like metal, it can be well structured, musically complex and have highly political statements and well made lyrics. It had been an inspiration for many other musical genres. I wouldn't call that garbage and I wouldn't call the people listening to that stupid. It's not my favorite genre but I don't think I'm better because of that. I understand music and can recognize quality in music, even when it's not my preference.
Psst, buddy, this is a shitpost. Please don't fall off your high horse and hurt yourself! 
As stated before, your shitpost is of poor taste. I've seen Germans with better humor.
The metalmemes comm loved it, but I suppose I'll kneel to the humor czar. I'm very sorry to have rustled your jimmies, and I hope I only post things that are safe humor without a hint of edge you might cut your poor lil fingies on!
Correct.
