Get the Stan mug.I said to my friends that I liked slipknot and I was laughed upon by them for like metal in the first place but of all metal slipknot. My friends are all a lot more intelligent than I am and listen to intelligent music like Experimental Darkambient, Trance Music and Noise. I'm a total moron but at least I like superficial simple metal like slipknot which is the best.

Get the WoWzer mug.One of the very rare exceptions to the rule 'everything that's popular is uncomplicated childish shit.'
Where Age of Empires even accomplishes to make an almost fully symetric RTS game unbalanced StarCraft is stil renowned for it's balance eventhough the playable races are highly asymetric. In starcraft it is possible to completely destroy your enemy with half the amound of manpower he has if you are more skilled in the game. StarCraft truly is one of the best if not the best RTS game ever made by my knowledge.

Joost: I play Age of Empires.
Me: I play StarCraft.
Joost: I bow before you, oh leader of anything. I will donate my precious girl Eline to you, teach how I can be a StarCraft player.
Me: Obscure ambient black metal and ambient noise own popular music.

Get the StarCraft mug.1. Probably the shittiest excuse for black metal ever. The likes of mayhem caused me to believe black metal was shitty for most of my life until I found out of some real black metal bands like Vinteriket, Arcturus and Darkspace.
Mayhem atracts idiot rampant teens who give black metal a bad name and let people think that black metal is about occultness and satanism or something.
The beautiful side of Mayhem is however that it murders itself out. Session member Varg Vikernes killed lead guitarist Euronimous and the lead vocallist Dead didn't feel like letting anyone take effort to it so he killed himself.
2. Good quality grannyporn.
3. The opposite of good black metal.

1. 'I listen Mayhem, therefore, I'm an uber poser and an idiot who actually things Mayhem is cool while in reality I'm laughed upon by people who are deeper into the black metal scene.'
2. I don't think I'm allowed to give an example of this.
3. Good(Mature) black metal albums:
Arcturus - Aspera Hiems Symfonia
Vinterriket - Der Letzte Winter
Darkspace - Dark Space I
The Kovenant - Nexus Polaris
Summoning - Minas Morgul

Get the Mayhem mug.Wow, what I read on this page about black metal is probably the biggest nonsense since what I've read here about trance music.
The difference between black and death metal is not the vocals, there is plenty of black metal that is even clean sung. Black metal is not about extreme metal, about blastbeats, in fact: a lot of well respected black metal bands avoid blastbeats all together. Black metal is not about satanism, that's just the popular poserblack. Sensible bands try to avoid satanism all together and utilze other themes 'winter' is an often used one.
Black metal is not about anti popmusic, or anti electronic music. True black metal is linked to electronic genres such as ambient, noise and industrial and encorporates elements from that.
So what defines black metal?
What sets black metal appart from death metal is effectively (for the record) what sets trance appart from techno & what sets ambient appart from lounge.
Namely: More monotone, more rooted in classical music theory, less rithmic, more atmospherical, more about the emotion, less about the grooves and melodies that function as a chordprogression.

Get the black metal mug.A shitty form of popular music on which virtually all subgenres rely on the 'as long as it sounds catchy' philosphy. Truly, atrocious popular youthmusic from which the listeners actually think its underground. A few subgenres that do not apply to that rule are technical metal, math metal and black metal
Metal relies on simple musical theory. Simple rithms, and certainly does not ask much virtuosis from the perform artist as well as compositional ability from the composer.
Some genres that would rise above this atrocity that is metal would be:
dark noise
tech trance
europian classical music
psybient

Metaller: I listen to metal, I'm so underground.
Me: Inferiour troglodyte. What does it matter if you are underground? and let me tell you that you are not. Everyone knows your Children of Bodom and your Dry Kill Logic.
