10 reasons why metal is garbage

Excuse my language for just one moment of infantile rage...  Whoever creates a video like that is a moronic, sexist, abusive, bullying, [@&#$]ed sod who has nothing better to do with thier time than to judge people for subjective, trivial reasons and pretend that they're some kind of brave 'big man' for doing so.

Sock it to them!!! ;-)

As you, and others, have indicated, the people behind this movie certainly are racist and sexist bigots with the cognitive and observational capacity of a mentally [@&#$]ed pre-teen school bully. My guess is, like others have stated, that the Anti-Metal Club people are just teenagers who are somehow envious of metallers.

There are people out there who have made me feel unwanted and unattractive because I'm not tarted up like a trendy, because I wear my hair long, because I like my T-shirt and jeans instead of having most of my flesh exposed. They don't think you even deserve to be female just because your not a mindless sex object with no interest in any thing but the charts!

Basically, my guess is that their problem with you is that you're a freethinking and independent person who does not succumb to the pressure of mainstream society. I think they fear you because you're a stronger individual than them - they are just afraid of strong and intelligent women who they cannot dominate and manipulate.

It was only a few years ago that I was insulted and ridiculed as a 'bitter old maid', only because I dared to express my opinions. It is very sad to see that humankind seems to be going backwards in many respects, instead of progressing...

I think it's always been a very human thing to attack or ostracize people who are different, because they are seen as a threat to the "cosmos" of the culture/community in question. Especially people who question "the way things are" are considered to be pathological in one way or another, because they constitute a danger to the perceived order of society.

funnily enough i actually agree with some of these (2 only applies to 98 % of metal). still, the guy who made this has about the same level of musical intelligens as a cucumber.

about 6: metal doesn't promote it. the [@&#$]ed people that believe it does may follow it but they are really [@&#$]ed. 7 was quite hilarous too.

10 is the funniest though: what about rappers or others? the stereotype rapper wears a tent sized shirt and pants that would fit an elephant, and they are so proud of their brands and stuff, paying like 30 � for a basic shirt that some chinese kid has printed a picture on. all music genres have their stereotype outlooks. metalheads generally dress quite dark and so, with a t-shirt and a leather jacket. there are however the ones that take it a bit further, but the guy in the video says points out shit in the metal clan that is just or even more evident in his own.
