What was once fantastic music enjoyed by a handful of rabid loyalists that has become more of a fashion statement recently that a music. Disenfranchised Caucasian kids flock to this as it is predominantly Caucasian and gives them an outlet to feel superior to the other kids that actually have futures. Remember, watch MTV2 and Metalapocalypse (if I said it wrong, good!), shop at Hot Topic, and play Guitar Hero III and soon you'll be more "black metal" than your friends who are also desperately trying to embrace this disgraced music by wearing Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir shirts every time they step out of the house!
PoSeRkId: Hey, cool shirt! Is that a black metal band?
BitterOldMetalhead: No, jerkass, it's an independent film I'm directing.

Black metal is a style of heavy metal music that developed in the far northern latitudes by mostly teenage musicians morbidly obsessed with having so pale skin. In their attempt to remedy their hue they tried to emulate 'blackmetal', but failed miserably. The sad variant
they created is seen as pathetic, and therefore it is called "black metal" which refers to the coloration of the musical tone rather than the musicians' skin color.

various different types, using blast beats (32beats instead on 16beats), and all that is immensly epic.
can be closely related to the burning of churches, becasue most of the followers of black metal are against religion.
founded by such epic bands as: venom, dimmu borgir, immortal and all that jazz.
i believe corpse paint is usually worn.

A genre specific to bands that hail from Norway and play Black Metal. It is one of the most famous genres in the Metal subculture, mostly due to the crimes, multiple church arsons, murders, and violence that surrounds it.
Norwegian Black Metal bands include (but are not limited to)
Darkthrone, Mayhem, Immortal, Emperor, Gorgoroth, Burzum, and Enslaved.

If it wasn't for all of the (bored) crazy fucking Norwegians, Black Metal, particularly Norwegian Black Metal, would be nowhere but further underground.
