I watched each Super Bowl Halftime Show since 2001, which to me began the modern era of these things.
Each show received a 1-10 in the categories of cringe, sound, and entertainment. Then I added sound and entertainment and subtracted cringe to create an unimpeachable ranking:

This is my wife and I all the time. We have done a great job and our “reward” is that we have to continue missing out on things we love even longer because others aren’t doing a great job. It’s infuriating and it’s insulting that someone would think we enjoy this.

Metal Twitter: recommending the most violent and weird music ever made
Also metal Twitter: constantly expressing concern for the mental health and well being of others and generally wishing the the world was kinder, gentler, more equal, and more peaceful.

Ok is Doom secretly the best metal subgenre? I’m working through recs and literally everything I’ve listened to so far is straight fire. It just requires a slightly different mindset since it’s a bit slower and more broody.

I love metal Twitter but some of y’all are way off with gateway recs
People who have never listened to metal aren’t going to get bands like Death right away
Gateway bands are like Linkin Park, Metallica, Chevelle, Seether. Accessible bands to people who don’t get metal yet.

This week’s theme I’ve been wanting to do for awhile:
Saxophone in heavy metal.
Other horns also acceptable but I’m specifically avoiding symphonic metal, etc. Will explore those some other time.
Let’s see those recs. 🎷🎺

it’s simply incorrect to state that the gun wasn’t part of the problem. The fact that a 17 year old could access not one but two guns and bring them to school is itself a problem. Couple that with a culture that celebrates guns leads to parents who obviously enabled access.

Love metal Twitter so much
Just a bunch of people expressing their passion for this music. The best and most emotionally deep music there is
When people are yelling about what music they think “fucks” they’re telling you what’s in their fucking souls and it’s beautiful.

That’s not actually what the Dunning Krueger effect is and she’s asking you to explain something that you’re claiming to know. This shouldn’t be hard unless you are in fact projecting because you’re far from an expert in this or any field.

One thing I admire a lot about Campbell is he is focused on trying to win the conference. The Iowa game isn’t their super bowl anymore. Hawkeye fans pretending it’s still that way are acting in bad faith.

I love my corner of metal Twitter. Maybe true that most of Twitter is toxic but not you all. Legit most of the conversation here is just positivity and even if it’s giving shit we understand each other in a way where it’s all good natured. It’s a community. I love y’all.

I have a serious question for my metal friends who don’t seem to like any cringey entry level music… how?
How did you get into metal? For me it was alternative to nu metal to metalcore to some more progressive stuff to finally where I am. How do you just skip gateway stuff?

Deafheaven is a very good American black metal band but I feel that they are controversial among the metal geek community for essentially being too good at pushing genre boundaries and flirting with more mainstream metal.

When people discuss cringe they correctly go straight to the deep wells of nu metal and post grunge. However consider these lowkey super cringe bands:
Black label society
Hellyeah
Cannibal Corpse (yeah I wanna stir shit today)

About 6 months ago I was deep in depression. I legitimately saw no way forward except for my own death. I sometimes wished I’d be the victim of an accident. I sometimes thought of doing it myself.

Static-X absolutely slaps. I feel like their unique brand of “Evil Disco” doesn’t get enough credit. Maybe it’s a simple sound but it’s a unique and good one. Sometimes it’s actually hard to do the “simple” things well.

Super Bowl halftime show idea:
Weird Al. He could bring in guests whose song he’s parodied and let him do those songs with him. Could be a lot of silly comedy. Accordion solo and polka party! This shit takes itself too seriously anyway

Quite a stretch to say that one person wearing some clothes is a referendum on anything. To go further though, anyone can wear whatever they want and it has no bearing on their masculinity or sexuality IMO. If you're freaked out about this it's because of your own hang-ups.

I again am mad about metal archives. I just don’t understand why it’s so gatekeepy. Don’t you want people who like mainstream metal to be able to learn more about the genre and want to visit? How many people probably have seen this page and then never came back to this site?

I have a theory:
If you like too much buttrock, obviously you’re lame.
However! If you either claim not to or legitimately do not like any butt rock you take yourself too seriously and therefore are also lame.
