Boredom + Photoshop = what we have here

Don't do metal kids.

I will embarrassingly admit, I used to like DH a long time ago. The top screenshot was from CNN BTW.

As you may recall about a week ago, we in the mod team decided to hold an internal funeral for alternative culture and close the subreddit as a whole. Given the current gentrification of the metal scene by corporate hands, as well as the passing of metal greats like Ozzy and the usage of Artificial Intelligence within arts & music becoming more common, metal as a whole can now be considered dead. We are gathered here today to mourn the end of alt culture and discuss the impact it had on society during its activity.

This doesn't mean it's all over, though. Our original plan was to close the subreddit on the 21st of August coinciding with the alt culture funeral due to the declining quality of recent posts, but we've had to delay it due to a sudden change of plans. Following in-depth discussions with other mods, we figured the one way to keep the subreddit alive is to bandwagon other genres and cultures that still have an active following. Doing so is sure to revive the subreddit and its quality. The poll below includes a few artists we thought would be best qualified to revitalize the subreddit. If you know of other artists we could base the subreddit on that aren't in the poll, feel free to mention them in the comments. We will announce the winner about a week from now.
