You want an idea of where all this pent-up aggression of mine came from? My cynical nature, or my pessimistic views? Well a lot of it stems from my love of heavy music. Not so much the music itself (although some of it definitely didn't help), but more other people's reaction to it. Being a fan of alternative music - whether that means you're into emo, punk, deathcore, black metal, shoegaze, doom, avant-garde - means that you will inevitably be thrown some ludicrous comments just based on what you listen to. "Emo", "Satanist", "grebo", "the singer sounds like he wants to kill himself", "it's just noise", "that's not music", oh secondary school was so much fun. Joining me are Callum Price, Jack Kendrick, Mikey Stockdale and Tom Phillips, chums who all suffered as I did (which now just sounds kinda hilarious) as we dissect various heavy metal stereotypes including vocals, links to Satanism, hipster metal, what is and isn't emo (which, in 2020, I concede my arguments were pretty weak and have a much different opinion now), female inclusion in metal, and more!
