That's too far but kinda. :p:

i recognise the difference between the bands, sub gernres and all that sh*t, but honestly? i don't care.

i don't like the genre that much to care too much about it.

If I only knew about bands like those I'd be in the same boat:p:

That was your whole point from the start, wasn't it? to claim superiority?

Im surprised batlord hasn't showed up to school me on metal (Not that i'll matter much)

To announce it, moreover. We can let consensus decide on this one, but it'll be the same result either way :finger:.
