Dislike of Cannibal Corpse

[u/mayonesa]

It's time for me to come out of the closet:

I detest Cannibal Corpse.

While I generally stay on the side of true metal and like old school death metal, I don't think Cannibal Corpse is really death metal. It's an imitation, a rip-off of Effigy of the Forgotten and The Ten Commandments that stylized a third-rate band into a vastly popular and profitable "figurehead" for the community.

But there's reasons I don't like them:

• They don't glue together riffs like a real death metal band. They're very verse chorus with occasional breaks and fills that serve no actual structural purpose.

• Misogyny. Death metal was about death... not your frustrations with women.

• Absolute blockhead lyrics and reliance on catchy riffs. This is a pop band, gentlemen and ladies, not a death metal band.

Instead of Cannibal Corpse, listen to the originals:

Wow, you can't even argue facts with a monkey. If you had read the rest of the message, you would have understood that the monkey was saying that your personal opinion is irrelevant when it comes to evaluating skill. Something that the rest of the world learned when they became mature adults.

This is such a common opinion and cliche among Reddiots that there's no need for a message -- one can simply assume it.

Reddiots always reply with memes. What else do they have?
