As a guitarist who doesn’t like various types of metal, I still appreciate the amount of skill and practice that goes into a vocal scream. Yes some of these are cringe but others are inside jokes to the community

[@khoile4271]

I agree with most of what you've said here, apart from the "some of these are cringe" and "inside jokes". I'd argue that almost all of them are cringe (nth wrong with bein cringe), with a few exceptions ofc, seeing as how all they're doing is a basic fry or mid-false-chord that essentially anyone can do in a few hours of correct practice. And, because of the relative simplicity of the vocals, combined with this new trend of "qUiRkY hOt mEtAl gOtH eMo" stuff, all they're doing is unconsciously drowning out the "talent" and promoting a shortcut way to fame.

If mankind never had created the technology we have today guess what ?! The music scenes were know of today would be NON EXISTENT!! There fore Dude. Rock is metal. Metal is rock. Metal is grindcore and grindcore is basically NoiseCore, along with all the other subgenres. You gotta think deeper about it. Again if we did NOT HAVE the technology we HAVE today therefore the sub genres in the music most of us know about WOULD NOT be existent. Make sense? so the whole metal music isn’t a personality trait… lol does it matter ? Nope Metal music isn’t a personality just like hood rap and basic rap isn’t a personality.
