Do real metal fans listen to like Boris or do they think it is too hipster-Pitchfork tainted? I'm listening Rainbow by Boris with Michio Kurihara and it is quite good.
Have you listened to the Too Slow to disco compilation albums?I don’t have any idea what any of you are talking about so I’ll stick with Hall and Oates, Player, and Dr. Hook

I don’t know, I used to be a huge metalhead but the elitism is just bad as hipsters. It’s no different. Granted I am younger so I didn’t live through the heyday and mostly dealt with older white dudes gatekeeping their music. No different from hipsters being pissed when anything gets popular etc.
Frankly I was more into 80s/90s death metal
You do realize that any culture has in/out group criteria and that subcultures will strongly enforce them when it comes to their core characteristics (often dress, lifestyle, arcane knowledge)?
You do realize that any culture has in/out group criteria and that subcultures will strongly enforce them when it comes to their core characteristics (often dress, lifestyle, arcane knowledge)? While I fully agree that the straight, white dudes ******** on anyone that fails to fully grasp the minutiae of their niche musical taste are idiots keeping different people out I fail to see how specific to metalheads this is. Don't forget that subcultures are rather weak in the grand scheme of things so this is the only way to ensure their continued independent existence, otherwise they just dissolve in dominant culture(s).
As for "hipsters" will they did dissolve so they don't exist anymore, who cares...
Did Hipsters dissolve? because I’m still getting called one by strangers?
