those guys are dead

@vry_othey said what was needed to be said

Yes. Metal made it's point. If it's going to continue in the fashion people in the butthole.com diaspora want, it needs a new point

That's the issue.

One side thinks metal needs a point.

The other is content with it being pointless.

The metal way of seeing the world is completely rounded out

and even more

it doesn't describe the way shit is going now

If anything the more fatalistic and desperate attitude of newer bands encapsulates the feeling we all have staring into the inkblot of existence.

you dont get it

Metal presents meaningful worlds, or makes statements of worlds devoid of meaning.

its an eternal message

it can never not be relevant

You don't get art

It's not a science to explain mechanisms.

Why would it describing shit or not be relevant?

@Nester "Metal presents meaningful worlds, or makes statements of worlds devoid of meaning."

I AGREE, HENCE ITS MYTHOLOGICAL-HISTORICAL VIEW

there is no history I think

history IS mythology

it gives the rightful place of mythology back to history

cruelly rent from it a few centuries ago

that's even more relevant to the point. Metal exists within a particular mythology

ONE WAY TO PUT IT

HISTORY INCLUDES MYTHOLOGY

AND

OPERATES AS NARRATIVE

"a particular mythology" no, not like that

IT HAS TO BE A STORY OR IT IS INCOHERENT

not giving a particular meaning

UNRELATED DETAILS

but giving meaning itself

GIVING A PORTRAYAL OF REALITY

read Euronymous' words

THAT MAY BE SOMEWHAT MYTHOLOGICAL

about what he wanted people to do, to feel

read his lyrics

Pagan Fears is a good one

that's the mentality
