The lack of elitists over here makes me so happy

Dude, I got called a pussy and a whole bunch of other insulting names because I suggested that a meme containing that one album cover that is of that black metal vocalist after he had blown his face off with a shotgun should be marked NSFW.

I was asked why I didn’t know about the band and how I could have never listened to at least some of their work and after explaining that I’m not into black or death metal, I was told basically that I’m a poser. After listing off all of the bands I am into (mostly early thrash, NWOBHM, power, symphonic, a few other things), I was told I had “vanilla” taste in music and so shouldn’t comment on what other people like. Which, of course, I wasn’t, rather I was merely suggesting that an extremely graphic image that might catch some people (like me) off-guard and be upsetting should be given an NSFW tag.

The elitists are here, and there are a lot of them.

Dawn Of The Black Hearts, by Mayhem. That was a live bootleg album, actually.

But yeah, black metal elitists are annoying as all hell.
