Insistence upon a belief in objective artistic opinion kind of just seems like a smokescreen for refusing to listen to other people or respect that their experiences may differ from your own, but what do i know, i'm on like, month 4 of DBT. And i vastly prefer death metal to black metal, lezbereal here.

i ordered new glasses this week. almost went for the plastic / metal hybrid frames like those. Then my ol' lady told me not to be a fucking douche. Real glad she pulled me together on that.

I vastly prefer death metal to black metal, which i vastly prefer to shoegaze-y screamo made by trendhoppers?
I vastly prefer death metal to black metal, because i never personally connected with the culture and music?
I vastly prefer death metal to black metal, so my understanding of some of the jokes in here is only due to the pervasive pop-cultural touch-point that black metal has become?
I vastly prefer death metal to black metal, because inside crystal mountain evil takes its form?

Ha, thank you.
But just to follow up, every new generation of art is an amalgamation of everything that came before. Just like how Mayhem were. For god's sake, Burzum practically combined Brian Eno with that shit from DAY ONE.
This is natural to art. Not to sound camp or anything, but its what makes every generation of art exciting. The fact that I for example, like Britpop but at the same time like Post Hardcore, and have the FREEDOM to do whatever the fuck I want when I pick up my guitar, that's an exciting and *cringe* beautiful thing. Same with the guys from Deafheaven. They like black metal, but they also like Slowcore, and Radiohead, and Fugazi and Slowdive. To expect a new generation to of just heard one genre and then somehow be only into that thing for the rest of their lives? Its delusional. They should have the freedom to do what they want when they pick up their guitars. Without that simple fact, the whole point of art loses its meaning.
One of the most important bands of all time, Spacemen 3, wouldn't of been what they ended up being without being a weird mixture of psych, blues, gospel, art rock, drone, Suicide era electronica, Phil Spectre/Joe Meek, British invasion, the boring electronic music in the 50's that was just literally one Synth making one sound for 10 minutes etc etc. I mean that took a shitload of ingredients for us to get that blessing of a band. And then its endless. Without Spacemen 3, you wouldn't have Shoegaze, the post-psych revival stuff like Brian Jonestown or MGMT or Tame Impala, the indietronica like Panda Bear/Animal Collective.
Anyone who is against this transition of black metal are the musical equivalent of conservatives/fascists, and you can tell with the way they come off. They can fuck off.
Just to prove that I am no black metal conservative/fascist, I play bass on this shit:
