TO STIMULATE THE FANTASY OF MORTALS
IT IS NOT ESCAPIST LIKE THE CRYSTAL METHOD
OR ENYA
all metal has this goal implicitly
it's black magic
which is the fantasy I identify with more
OR EVEN BRIAN ENO
YES
PETER PAN
HMM
PARTS OF REM ARE LIKE THAT
AND DANZIG
@Deleted User 57835c2c I don't think you appreciate metal at the perception level
I feel like the fantasy of metal is portrayed in a way that makes it so gritty it is not satisfying to me as fantasy
how to listen to music i.e.
CHUCK IT ALL AND GET LOST IN A WORLD OF MYSTERY
you can't say that to anyone without them taking offense
GRITTY
so I apologise for that
MORE PUNK
to some degree you have to absorb the melodic ethics of metal
WITH A FEW GREAT EXCEPTIONS
punk is unsatisfying for the same reason however they do a good job making me identify with the feeling of being a powerless individual in an awful world
TERRORIZER WRITE ABOUT ZOMBIES
AND THE MUSIC HAS THAT FEEL
METAPHORICAL
such discrete feelings
music can evoke them in someone subjectively
The tooth-and-claw aspect of nature is exemplified via metal's lore
METAL HOPES TO AWAKEN THE SENSE OF FINDING POWER IN SOMETHING ABOVE THE INDIVIDUAL
Good metal at least
IT IS ALMOST RELIGIOUS MUSIC
but it shouldn't be so narrowed down usually
yeah and that is what I am sick of dealing with @spaceplacebo
unless it is literally propaganda
tooth and claw in the pagan way
to me that is such a daily reality it's a chore to listen to
TOOTH AND CLAW IS THE OPPOSITE OF HERD CONTROL
living world tooth and claw
not rat race
