I agree with the entire video. I'm a black man, and I felt out of place during my childhood, because I liked a genre associated with a certain group that didn't look like me (i.e. a "white" genre). Don't worry; I'm not getting political. Anyways, when I saw Killswitch Engage for the first time -- during the Howard Jones era -- I was shocked, because I've never seen anyone like me in a genre that's not hip hop, RnB, or gospel, so that blew my mind. Now it's nearing the end of the first half of this decade, and people are still gatekeeping when it comes to looks. In what is arguably the most expressive and flexible genre ever conceived, people are still trying to pigeonhole it into one specific category! Dude!!

I don't have any stats, but I would guess that most metalheads didn't gatekeep black people from metal, black people just didn't want to be metal, they wanted to be rappers, etc. Just my wild guess.

He says they all look like Weezer, a 90's band.......see how Mr.Metal has aged......the 90's are a long time ago Son.

[@kenknight5983]

Metal has a dress code? What is this, the No Life 'til Leather demo? That guy on the left in Deicide had a shaved head, not long hair. Black Sabbath didn't dress to look evil. Most people don't walk around with t-shirts of Satan because they're adults. If it's all about looking the part, he should join Slipknot who seem to think playing dress-ups makes your music heavier

[@adoramay9410]

It's like a Trve Cult guy saying that you have to wear Corpse paint or some shit. Like no, I'm not going to walk around with a Halloween costume on. For shows, maybe, if I'm feeling up to it. But the idea that metalheads have to look a specific way is the most unmetal thing I've ever heard.

[@mrivanlex]

Stevie... You're the f@#$n best KZbinr ever, love you man!!!

[@ColorsIn-jk6lv]

Saw deicide in Oakland California . Favorite quote of the concert “California huh, you guys and your pot.” And then went to play sacrificial suicide.

[@PickleLipsMiguel]

Glen is the goth kids from South Park complaining about conformists and then immediately after rejecting people because they don't look and act like them. Metal is about metal. Embarrassing.

[@dreaminginnoother]

Purists are a dying generation. As someone who's made a lot of metal music, I consider it one flavor of art. I make and enjoy all kinds of styles. Metal has a special place in my heart, but it's one musical expression of many I enjoy and appreciate on all kinds of different levels.

[@AlucardsQuest]

Some might argue that metal is losing it's identity, but maybe it's gaining a new one?

[@symptomofsouls]

​@@AlucardsQuestMetal really doesn't have an identity anymore, some may say that's a good thing, I think it's depressing

[@dreaminginnoother]

@@symptomofsouls Maybe, I clearly have always had a bias here. I would play metal shows in khaki shorts and flip flops or bare foot because that's what's comfortable. I think image can be cool to some extent, but style and culture can overtake music for a lot of people, and I was never one to follow trends, so maybe I'm just a music purist generally. I got one rule. Make good music.

[@symptomofsouls]

@@dreaminginnoother I thought about starting a band for a while (no one I know wants to) and I grew up with my dad being a huge fan of King Diamond and Alice Cooper so to me I think the aesthetic is just part of it, it's more than music. It's not just music, it's an experience. And that's lost in the newer bands I think

[@kingdavidsmom]

My late brother Roger was the one who introduced me to metal! I loved it right away! And my son who was a die hard rap fan, I showed him some metal songs and he has totally switched now he's a full on metal head, loves singing metal song especially System of a Down lol

[@DVCMiller]

"Nobody gives a shit about imagery anymore." Uh... yeah, that's the whole point of metal: to not give a shit about looking pretty.

[@steelyspielbergo]

....glam metal

The fact that glen just said "guys with black rimmed glasses and short hair aren't metal" just pisses me off. Chester Bennington had glasses and short hair and he was metal!!

[@MoonOvIce]

I liked Linkin Park and definitely liked Chester. Though I don't think he was metal or cared about such things. There were definitely metal influences in there, but I don't think he was metal and that's not a bad thing.

Hi, Steve! I absolutely agree with you! If the music is good, it shouldn’t matter what the artist or group looks like or how they dress. I hope Glen realizes this someday. Your skit at the end was hilarious! Enjoyed the video! Have a good day! 😃

I hope these guys know that AI with no face or hair makes Metal music too!

[@Soily9]

AI doesn't create things magically, though. It is trained by analyzing thousands of existing songs (which were metal songs, so they were most likely composed and performed by people with long hair and black clothes) and then it spews "new" music based on what it "learned".

[@MusicBlendStudio]
