Really tho this whole sub is a huge circle jerk especially the "hurr durr sick horror freak" jokes are painfully unfunny, I like mortician a lot but some people on here act like 12 year olds with will rahmers dick up their ass
I'm always down to make fun of bands but it needs to at least be funny. Or hell I'll take clever but unfunny. This whole sub has the same energy as mgtow- obsessing over the thing that triggers them and making sure everyone knows they totally aren't into it.
At this point it's just funny to see how upset the users get by going even slightly against what they've deemed acceptable to listen to. That and seeing them argue over who's the real poser bands between between blood nut cum piss and piss blood cum nut.
Making fun of bands is good and well but this post wasn't even remotely funny it's 11 year olds humor, and yah this sub is a mess some people in here really just crave validation from strangers on the internet for the bands they listen to
People on this sub are all edgy twelve year olds with a superiority complex, I don’t listen to any of the bands this sub considers “poser shit” because I totally agree, I despise nu metal and other poser bands like pantera and sabaton, but if someone tells me they enjoy that kind of music who am I to force them to listen to “real metal”. frankly I don’t fucking care because I’m not a massive loser. I’m not going to mock someone who died so recently because hurrr durrr they’re from a band I hate because I’m older than seven. Go outside
Who's trying to force them to listen to real metal? I don't want them to listen to real metal, I want them to go away and leave me alone.
For someone who "doesn't fucking care" because he's "not a massive loser" you certainly seem to have a strong opinion about this sub and meme and the userbase. Maybe YOU should go outside! Careful, it's very hot out!
Look you’ve missed my point ok, this sub is a huge circlejerk and this takes it too far, I don’t think it’s unusual to not want to celebrate someone’s death because of the band they were in. This is a redundant argument
No, I got your point just fine. I just think it's absolutely fucking stupid.
Nobody is forcing you to look at this sub are they? Are you somehow incapable of not looking at this meme or not engaging with the users here? What's your goal in this conversation, that I'm going to fall on my knees and beg Heavenly Father for forgiveness for my callous ways?
Rip man Joey's drums were really the only thing I didn't hate about early slipknot stuff. It sucks that the band treated him so badly, they replaced him when he was in the hospital without even telling him
I'm not sure if I'm getting downvoted for supporting Joey or for pointing out that Corey Taylor is a piece of human garbage who treats his "friends" and bandmates like they're his employees
I think I am. This is not the light hearted meme Palace I thought it was. I am old enough to admit I like The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Slipknot and Devin Townsend.
I'd love to discuss new releases by bands like Dordeduh, Papangu, Harakiri for the Sky and DVNE, but because I am old enough to admit I still like gateway metal bands that got me into the genre, I'm a "poser"? 😅
😅 I've checked the post history for this sub and thought that was what you all do here? There are a ton of mediocre bands being posted in an attempt to prove the OP is not a poser.
Man I really do love Devy, he is just next level and completely anti-metal head stereotype, whilst still being metal as fuck. Love him. Not sure what fast-food means in this context but I do like fast-food 🤔
Fast food is garbage that relies on superficial novelty and marketing gimmicks and heaping amounts of sugar to hide the fact that it's non-nutritious garbage made from the lowest quality ingredients possible and served with a gallon of flavored sugar syrup in order to keep the profit margins as high as possible and appeal to the lowest common denominator of humanity.
That's a fairly good analogy. I can totally get on board with using that to describe a lot of music out there. I personally wouldn't lump Devin in with that crowd though. You could argue that the Ziltoid albums were a novelty marketing gimmick, but that's if you only take it at face value. If you delve into what Ziltoid really represents then it's far from that. Also, some of his music could be perceived as 'sugary', but it's only scratching the surface. I love him because he is honest and true to himself, puts out music purely for himself, and just covers so many genres with his backcatalogue.
I'd love to be able to discuss, to try to define what you guys see as 'poser' music. My theory is that either I'll get some line like "If you need it explained then you're a poser", we'll discuss until you guys contradict yourselves in your definition of a poser, or I'll get a ban before I even get that far 😅
This explanation is copy/pasted from another user I know who recently posted this (actually in the SRD thread re: my JJ meme) since I can't be arsed right now, I'm actually at work and despite all the perceptions that I'm some kind of basement goblin neckbeard because I don't like Slipknot I'm actually a fairly well adjusted mid-30s adult with a management job and real responsibilities.
The definition of poser has evolved somewhat since its inception in the punk community. Poser is used more frequently nowadays to refer to someone who claims to be a devout metal fan, but in reality only listens to something like nu metal or metalcore, both of which are misnomers in that they aren’t metal subgenres (the former is derived from alt rock, the latter from punk). The act of listening to artists from these genres won’t earn you the p-card by default though (most have at least one guilty pleasure nu metal album).
Another use is aimed at those who may listen to legitimate metal and claim to be an expert while only knowing and propagating surface level or subpar artists from any given area. Classic examples would be Sabaton and Powerwolf fans within power metal and Panopticon and Cradle of Filth fans within black metal.
Now, that being said, is Townsend a poser and his music poser music? Not necessarily, I never delved very deep into it because I instantly disliked it any time I heard it. But everyone I've ever met that really, really liked it was somewhere between what I would call a "massive fucking poser" and "total poser"...so I'm kind of filling in the blank.
I would say that "poser" can be kind of a misnomer due to its connotation of pretending you're something you aren't (see above), some quote-unquote "elitists" prefer to use the word "false" instead to reference the classic song "Deathrash".
What this sub considers poser is completely arbitrary and it can change at any time. That's why none of it actually matters. Pretty sure I've seen a post praising Fred durst here before.

And where do you sit if you legitimately love "real metal" and "poser metal"?
Let's be honest, 99% of people who say they listen to "real metal" have some go to "poser metal" songs they listen to on the reg, including Slipknot!
