too many people are intrigued by the culture, not many respect the music...

Hmm..what's your take on the possible reason for that? Is it because the visual aspect of black metal somehow overshadows the music itself? Or is it something totally different?

not many respect the music...

whats there to respect? seriously

 

[Tribalcast]

Hey come on, be nice.

the unfortunate incarnation of the genre itself was a by-product of religion hating, hence the inevitable culture. however hard one tries to educate the masses, they disregard the trees for the forest.

there are also too many impressionable people who are into the music, they see the culture as complementary, some even see it as a necessity.

i appreciate the genre for the music, first & foremost.

whats there to respect? seriously

respect the music as an intellectual product.

Watch it before.

One thing for sure, Gaahl is gay. And he's weird.

 

[KeDraiv]

^ lol, gay as in?
haha.

the only black metal band i listened to before was immortal.
and at that point of time i have no clue about the background/history of the genre,
so i was basically just enjoying the ambience of their music and trying to understand what are they talking about.
haha.

Gay as in homosexual.

This was posted before no?

 

[chaosphere]

respect the music as an intellectual product.

how to?

 

[Stickman]

Yes there was a thread about this awhile ago leh.

 

[KeDraiv]

how to?

erm, treat it like a text and study it like lit?
that's what i do.
and then you'll slowly realise that in most cases context plays a big part in understanding the text.
haha.
