The proper genre is "Halloween glam rock."

I will not be taking questions at this time.

Ghost is Scooby Doo metal and I fucking love it.

In their concert movie they included an animated chase scene done in classic scooby doo style. I lost my shit.

Haven't seen that(or maybe I don't remember it, although it does sound familiar), but I will say that their show was one of the most fun shows I've ever seen. One memorable bit(googling it now, it seems to have been a hit with many people) was that they had a sort of confetti Cannon that shot fake money. Managed to get one; pretty cool memorabilia. Especially in this day and age when physical concert tickets are rarer. I still have the ticket from my first concert(and all the other subsequent ones)

I don't hate them. I actually kinda like a few of their singles. But them being considered metal is beyond the pale. Hard rock maybe, but definitely not metal.

Quality trolling. Ghost is barely metal, it's basically hard rock.

I don't remember where I heard it, but Ghost is Bon Jovi for theater kids.

They're still great though

That's good hahaha. I've liked the comparison of Ghost being the dark version of ABBA.

[–] alx@piefed.blahaj.zone 13 points 7 hours ago

I always say it’s ABBA metal (in the absolute best way possible)

Possibly the biggest douchebag I'll ever meet was really into Ghost.
