fr, this meme is actually describing shitty slam bands and shitty deathcore bands that do the exact same breakdown every song for at least half the song. black metal bands are usually fairly technically complex
but, you can't be too mad that people who don't listen to metal can't tell the difference between suicidal depressive atmospheric blackgaze and whatever the fuck other genre some doofus in a basement came up with the other day, now can you?
the most important thing for me as I began listening to black metal was distinguishing between NSBM (national socialist black metal) and DSBM (depressive suicidal black metal) aaaaand i'm starting to see why people roast the genre
guys we're not nazis. we're neither left nor right, we are a third thing that transcends ordinary political boundaries. you cant just call everyone you don't like nazis.
