It's strange how us older ex-metalheads are the first different generation music wise

Our parents were horrified by our taste in music. Their parents were horrified by their taste in music, their parents were horrified by their taste in music

We're the first generation that listens to our kids' music and goes

[–] Absolute_Axoltl@feddit.uk 37 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's the same though isn't it? While it's not the reason why we liked the music we liked (more punk than metal for me but same difference) it was always a bonus if your parents didn't like it. That's exactly the reaction that kids are getting from their parents now!

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It is! But I'm glad you understand what I meant!

Well there are two areas to explore here. The quality of the music and it's message. And the parenting we endured. I became a metal head for both reasons. My parents music didn't resonate with me. The over simplified music structure just bored me. There wasn't anything epic about it. And then the message didn't resonate when it was all happy rose gardens and unicorns. My dad was an abusive asshole. Metal gave me that angry outlet.

At least my mom understands where I come from even she doesn't understand why I listen to what I listen to. She divorced him and shit changed. Now my son loves metal and his mom doesn't get it.

I wasn't super into metal when I was a kid, I was more into funk and blues. But then my son decided to put on some garbage than he calls funk music. I was disgusted and promptly changed the song to sam and Dave.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

That’s a testament to the tolerance of millennials. We are more open minded and will at least listen to what our kids have to say.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm really into new metal bands though, because they are constantly releasing stuff. There are bands out there like Black Breath that will still melt your face off, but I really like the more experimental side of metal, with bands like Abstract Void, Unreqvited, and Botanist all pushing the envelope of what metal is.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 85 points 2 months ago (7 children)

Five Finger Death Punch is as close as you can possibly get to pop music without leaving the genre of metal completely. I don't judge people if it's their jam, I just think they are extremely mediocre at best. It's no coincidence that the majority of their most popular songs are covers.

But hey, people like what they like.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I just feel like their songs are specifically targeted to edgy 13 year olds. "wrong side of heaven and righteous side of hell" I mean, c'mon.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Its called suburbia and nothing ever happens

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I mean, c'mon.

Right or wrong? I can hardly tell.

The maturity of a 13 years old, but it's listened by angry genXers and older millenials.

[–] ziggurat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I don't get this point of view, maybe I should because it sounds logical. But again sometimes I want to listen to harpsichords in E by Bach. And sometimes I want to listen to hallowed be thy name from iron maiden, sometimes I want to listen to a nightmare to remember by dream theater, and sometimes I want to listen to wrong side of heaven by ffdp.

It's like the same logic that I love eatimg healthy home made delicious filipino food every day of the week, by my excellent cook of a wife. And yet occasionally I get a craving for a menu at burger King with a monster energy drink.

It is as if there is redeemable factors in both

I tend to like pop metal the same way I like pop punk. It's not going to make me feel anything but it's catchy. It's good for working out or working on the motorcycle and similar things where I want a driving background but don't want to get way into it.

That being said, the kind of people who listen to FFDP put me off of their music. It's like that's the first metal they ever heard then decided to make it their whole personality.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Ghost is in the same boat. Don't get me wrong, they write some great songs, but they are perilously close to pop

[–] bravesirrbn@lemmy.world 41 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I've seen Ghost described as "Spooky ABBA" and somehow it kinda checks out. Not even mad, ABBA is great and so is Ghost

[–] brognak@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

"Bon Jovi for Goth Dads" is the other one I enjoy. I love Ghost, Tobias writes exactly the music he wants. Not trying to be metal, he was heavily influenced by og heavy metal (Sabbath) and the theatrics of the glam/hair metal era (Kiss). Combine the two and ya, that's just Ghost.

It's very intentionally campy and fun, like year round Halloween.

To their defense, I think they are really self aware. The campiness and the theatrics are all intentional. It almost has a musical (the broadway kind) aspect to it. 5FDP actually believe they are hard.

[–] zo0@femboys.bar 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I agree they are mediocre (at best), but as for sounding poppy, you're forgetting we have a whole metal subgenre called hair metal.

[–] AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah but hair metal had raw sex appeal. They'd fuck your girl, and maybe you too, and you were ok with it. Sure it's musically lighter, but they went hard. On the other hand, you assume 5FDP is on tour again because they're behind on child support payments.

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Well, there's also "punk goes pop" stuff, like the good old https://youtube.com/watch?v=gbMbCbEp5cA

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

A series I personally love listening to while working out. Especially the 80s pop covers.

Honestly don't understand the hate ffdp gets.

If someone could clue me in that'd be nice cause like I genuinely like a lot of their original songs as well as the remakes.

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

I like their stuff, but I'll admit that a ton of it sounds the same. On the other hand, people almost always complain when bands go "experimental", so I consider it a somewhat good thing actually

[–] DNU@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I have no clue about music in general, but ffdp are pretty basic when it comes to their song structure, a lot of simple and repetitive rhythms. Add to that that they sound recorded better than live (IMO) and they're American which can lead to prejudices in the metal community and the bands easy to joke about.

Their music was pretty great back in the day, but their more recent stuff sounds like schizophrenic whinging, and their music videos make them look like maga fascists. I have done zero research on what their opinions actually are.

[–] Manalith@midwest.social 4 points 2 months ago

I like their first couple albums and they write extremely catchy songs, but their lyrics feel just a little too douchey for my taste. They're a fantastic cover band though.

hit me with some brutal recommendations if you got them. it's been a while and I'm out-of the loop

[–] bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Idk what genres you like so here’s a few recommendations across a few genres. On phone so no links.

I’ve been obsessing over HirΓ¦th lately, probably one of the best albums I have ever heard. It’s not a metal album, but it scratches that itch I have for metal, so it’s going on this list lol

  • Witching - Vernal (blackened sludge)
  • Flummox - Rephlummoxed (prog death/avant garde)
  • Mamaleek - Vida Blue (avant garde)
  • Rail Yard Ghosts - HirΓ¦th (Blackgrass/Blackened folk punk, large band)
  • Woe - Hope Attrition (black metal/RABM)
  • Botanist - Paleobotany (Experimental Black metal)
  • An Abstract Illusion - Woe (prog death)
[–] Philote@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Slaughter to prevail

Archspire

Igorrr

Blood incantation

All are in my heavy rotation right now, I like weird envelope pushing metal.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Igorrrr are solid, definitely doing some different shit. Dunno the others.

Your list shows up perfect when I go to respond, but in normal view, Lemmy doesn't put your lines in.

I find this funny because I only like technical death metal, like the pizza passage, sporeception, and sly cropped dick

I'm going to pretend I know what this is about and go back to listening to the Ink Spots.
