Isn't Metal a bit repetitive and lacking dynamics? All sounds more or less the same and too much strident.

    It's extremely dynamic if anything,you're right that it's heavily repetitive though. All genres have their limits I think. Metal does things Pop Music,Country,or Rap probably aren't going to do or at least wouldn't start doing organically do it can help develop new ideas in music for sure but not all music needs to be Metal either.

        Such a retarded view, what he was saying is, metal within that loud framework allows for much more experimentation and extra moments of dopeness, sorta like free jazz in that way. But that's not even counting all the brilliant acoustic, traditional musicality, dissection does that better then opeth imo but you just have get a concrete up ya and deal with some dissonance if you want your pussy perspective to be satiated, with all things, the sea of possibilities becomes clear with practice, not everything is simple cannibal corpse blast beat growling, but even take cannibal corpse as a prime example, without ever breaking from that framework they made extremely catchy death metal, like check out under the rotted flesh, you can't simply call that "loud without ever changing"

        Most genres have music that is relatively consistent in sound. It's the cutting edge stuff that changes it up, and it's no different in metal.

    No it isn't because metal always wants to innovate, it's often about one upping the competition to be the fastest, heaviest, weirdest etc. Metal is absolutely autustic about spawning new subgenres just because someone managed to mix it with something else. The amount of variety is insane but so is the amount of failed experiments.

        when you sum up 600 years of classical music it surely looks like there's a lot of variety but when you look at individual time periods there's basically 0 variation on forms

        yeah, that's why only smug pretentious retards listen to that boomer crap. I have not met a single intelligent person who listened to classical music.

    Im going to give you a 6/10 for at least putting some effort into this metal bashing thread

    no one composes classical music anymore except stupid ass avant garde contemporary classical. if youre still listening to 300 year old music as your only music source you lack musical taste

    by 'good Rock' you probably mean 60s/70s/80s classic rock, again, youre living in the past. Modern rock is all commercial garbage

      it's literally the same moody surf rock as black metal but with fewer distortions and more yuropoor doomer aesthetics. I would've thought you'd recommend something gayer, though; something like 'progressive' metal.

    Lol, its obvious you just want to shoe horn in your own preferred shitty genre into the conversation and appeal to the authority of classical. Like when someone shoehorns Jazz in with classical, pathetic behavior.

    We all know classical is the ultimate form of music, or at least anyone of any intelligence who has spent at least some time thinking about music knows that. However... classical has no aggression, nor can it replicate the textures and instrumentation of metal. If you really enjoy ugly nasty distortion with an angry son-of-a-bitch howling in your ear, classical has no place for you. All there is are genres like metal, industrial, punk, and noise - of these only metal actually cares about being music first and foremost. At its best, metal is pretty good for its incredible limitations, and its still evolving to this day, getting better and better.

    Its not the best music of all time, but it sure as hell the best music for its intended goal. Thats part of the reason people who listen to metal tend to only listen to metal unlike fans of other genres, because its about the unique aspects only metal has. Its easy to understand the purpose of metal, as for why people like things like Rock and Jazz which serve no real temperamental difference to classical, is beyond me; all you are doing is listening is a lesser form of music with nothing to stand on. Ironic that both genre fans tend to be elitest to metal fans when their chosen music is midwit central with little to no redeeming factors or purpose of existence.

    Weenie waving about listening to the superior genre is just embarrassing and I am ashamed of your argument. You don't come to one genre trying to find the attributes of another, that's a recipe for remaining closed to new experiences. There's an amazing amount of variation within the genre of metal, once you acclimate yourself to it. Like some of the denser subgenres within "Classical", it yields structure upon repeated listening. I hope you get to have the experience because there's things in it you cannot find anywhere else.
