Sludge
Sludge metal (aka Sludge Doom) is a genre of metal that takes inspiration from Doom Metal. Sludge is kind of like the raunchy cousin of Doom. Sludge is very prominent in the South, many of the earliest bands on the scene began there (particularly in New Orleans area) such as Eyehategod. Sludge metal is typically more aggressive than doom, taking inspiration from punk (indeed members of EHG and Down formed Crust punk band Arson Anthem). Lyrical content generally focuses around suffering, drug and alcohol abuse, and politics. Some bands include:
The Melvins
Superjoint Ritual
Weedeater
Buzzov*en
Eyehategod
Rwake (pronounced 'Wake')
Down
Isis
Neurosis
Jesu
Baroness
Crowbar
And many others. Bands such as The Melvins have been credited to have first touched on and inspired the sludge sound, and Eyehategod is generally credited to have broken the scene open.

Me and my buddies were listening to some music and drinking, and not much is better to drink to than some Sludge metal. So I popped in Eyehategod's album Southern Discomfort followed up by Down's A Bustle In Your Hedgerow, and Crowbar's Sonic Excess In Its Purest Form.

Wife: John! You haven't left the couch since I left for work! What have you been doing all day?!
Husband: Hmm...? Oh! Yeah, uhhhh. You know me and my sludge, just marathoning the latest Star Wars movies. Then I'll move on to all of the Transformers movies, then the Jurassic Park reboots, and finally a delectable five-hour scroll through TikTok and YouTube shorts. Hey, do you want to get McDonalds later with some Taco Bell on the way back? When we get home we can pull out the TV trays and watch CNN or Fox News? But first, let me pause the Last Jedi and load up something by my favorite and beloved video game developers. What do you think, honey, Ubisoft? Activision-Blizzard? EA?! Oh, please choose that one babe! Please choose EA!
Wife: *confusingly disgusted and questioning diamond-topped band of gold around her finger*
