If you've followed any of the metal debates that have occurred so many times around here, you would have at least witnessed the plethora of sub-genres, and the difference of taste among metalheads. Metal isn't always about power riffs, double bass, and screaming.

I'd love to see you (x_rex30) tell Hansi Kursch that metal is about anger. He'd belt out some falsetto while singing about Lord of the Rings

Damn.. you don't have to burn yourself out. I'd like to hear about "The Dead Term "Heavy Metal"" You might save yourself the trouble of writing a lot if you know of any links explaining some of it.. but yeah, i am a bit curious.Kai Stromler wrote:I keep trying to reply to this, and the post just keeps getting longer and longer, and covering more and more stuff. So instead, you get to pick the essay you want me to write here:
- The Dead Term "Heavy Metal": Being an Exploration of the Development, Styles, and Relationships of Too Many Subgenres
- Planet Wacken: Metal as Agent of Escape, Catharsis, and Community
- Moshpit Ethics: Why We Do It, How We Behave, and How We Shrug It Off
If multiple essays are requested, there will be multiple posts rather than one big long one, and they may be spread over several days.
