Get the Melodic Horror Metalmug. An overused management phrase often used in team meetings as a motivational or performance booster which often leaves those present thinking 'what the hell does that even mean?' and 'Is he just making up his own quotes now?'. A generic phrase with no historical provenance. Frequently used in team meetings before or after recent poor performance or acts of sheer incompetence this generic term is a camouflaged attempt to get certain staff to improve and perform better. However they are deaf to the suggestion it is aimed at them and such use often 'goes straight over their heads'.
Manager - 'I don't want to tell you all how to suck eggs but you all need to be on your metal today'

Get the Death Metalmug. An actually amazing type of music that takes an immense amount of skill to pull off. Instruments are hard to learn, and so is singing and screaming. Just imagine having to scream like that at a show, for hours. Maybe you could do it for a second, but not for hours, because it takes TALENT. It also most of the time does not use autotune, like most shitty rappers today. Rap is pretty good, but not the shit today.
Did you know that being a Heavy Metal singer and/or musician actually takes talent and is really hard? Bet you didn't because you think that using autotune and mumbling into a microphone takes talent, and think that all metal is screaming and that people that listen to it are just edgy kids. Just because YOU are part of the majority of people that enjoy shitty autotune mumbling, doesn't mean metal is bad.
