DISCLAIMER: This is an ED OP piece and with that being said.

The problem with metal is one many things, blame being placed singly on the musicians, bands, or the fans. Multiple things arise in this debate, mainly stemming from the band, as the genres do not meet the needs of the hungry fans, while it is true there is a more common disconnect from society from the SMART METAL FANS that feel the need to disconnect from society to become a unique individual that is kvlt to others that understand this silly secret metal society handshake. The band must live to an unrealistic expectation of the fan that does not want them to become mainstream or their music will be tarnished by normal people who grow to appreciate this new found music, said band must be restricted to their early albums, and are constrained to keep the same formula and not explore their artistry, but when they do most get frowned upon. The guttural groans of you sold out, you should quit while you are ahead is deafening.

The problem with the SMART METAL FAN or MARK (wrestling term) is they are nerds in their own way, just like the stereotypical nerd gets honor roll grades in school, the SMART METAL FAN wears their patches on their vests like A's on a report card. They still believe in said METAL SANTA CLAUS because dammit it is still real to them in their eyes.

Metal is a vicious, there are no rules, it is the circle of life, out with the old in with the new, just like genres change, born, or get recycled, same thing happens with the fans. Unrealistic expectations that are supposed to be filled to satisfy their vanity, and we are supposed to war with each other over this or so we think.

But for just one moment what if the real problem with metal is the music journalists? The unknown pot stirrer, the hey I am on your side man, they tend to be influential to the unexpecting music fan, or SMART METAL FAN. Is the old saying the pen is mightier than the sword still stand true? Is there not a passive aggressiveness in their writings to sway you, nothing is going on with metal, well let me create some drama, Antifa much? Can I create #METALGATE and start throwing around SJW due to butthurt everyone gets a ribbon nowadays grown ass kid that was supervised by an adult who knew better that I don't agree with about their ideology. They perpetuate the pussiness in you all on whatever weakness they can find, and will continue to do so until their feeble attempts become more recognized, I for one can truly appreciate the DUMB METAL FAN, good music is good music, bad music is bad, ok music is ok, now drink your beer and STFU.
