metal is centrist edgy lib, and punk is leftist edgy proletarian

real "proletarian music" is whatever is on the billboard charts
punk is for upper middle class lifestylists

>>10833
I find punk tends to have more proletarian themes and metal more fantasy.

this, I could also see metalhead class composition varying pretty widely from subgenre to subgenre

rock against communism vs. rock against racism.

you choose.

grindcore - leftist
deathmetal - nihilistic
black metal - fash
metalcore - lib?
nu metal - all over the place
boomer metal - reactionary
power metal - reactionary

what about deathcore? what about slam?

>>10848
How so?

What's the most apolitical metal subgenre?

>>10847
i think it's hard to associate slam with any political leaning since the whole thing seems to be just about having a very nasty and violent sound and gore lyrics. But since it attracts edgelords, I'd say it leans reactionary

as for deathcore, I don't pay a lot of attention to the lyrics, but from the lyrics I know it seems to also be very nihilistic, like deathmetal lyrics usually are. The lyrics are also sometimes about stress and anxiety and shit, and I don't know what to make of these mental health themes politically. I don't remember any deathcore song that'd openly take a politcal stance. But again, I usually don't pay attention to song lyrics and I'm an idiot, so don't take any of my assumptions seriously

rabm is becoming more and more relevant.

there's a lot of leftoids in hardcore and noise rock
