False metal

"False metal" is a term created by Manowar in the 80s to describe glam metal music.

Nowadays it also includes nu metal, deathcore, metalcore and similar genres. Some people also include DSBM (depressive suicidal black metal).

Me: These idiots seem to be sure it's metal.

DSBM guy: It is? Why, what, eh?

Me fr: Go listen to some Aura Noir. Death to false metal!
