Melodic metal isn't extreme metal and it isn't the middle ground of much of thrash. Power metal, trad metal, symphonic metal, melodic death metal, and the lighter side of thrash are melodic metal. You know exactly what it is so stop being an elitist ***got pretending to not even know how to interact with the plebs.

but I don't

there's melody in every single Burzum song

Nah you're being an intentionally obtuse elitist. You know what melodic metal is. STFU

there's melody in all these songs

I would imagine it's metal that is melodic. So, 98% of it

I'm having trouble thinking of any legitimate metal that isn't melodic

Yes but you're full of **** is my point. Maybe you know this and are being a boring twat for the sake of bragging rights or maybe you're a twit who forgot how to have non-snobby opinions, but you're definitely one of the two.

ok
