your favorite rock+metal subgenre description courtesy of some guy on soulseek

swagger
danzing
the strokes

F&W is a better name for 1988-98 indie rock than "indie rock".

i don't understand why there's a separate hairy category just for g'n'r when it would be so much easier to file it under swagger

'poop metal'

not sure if it is a typo or the guy just collects stuff he hates....

pagan +troll + folkmetal

Oh yes.

restless + righteous

^ posts v much in character

swagger

looollll i love the idea of calling velvet underground "dopey"

restless & righteous is pretty good too

mathy

blood on the bluegrass

troll obv

my g/f went used to go out with some dude who considered himself a metalhead (he now goes round in skinny jeans and a pete doherty-style tweed hat). Anyway, she once recounted to me that he'd told her that there were only five main genres of metal, including a style called "tough-guy" metal. Can anyone please tell me if "tough-guy" metal really exists, cos I've never heard of it.

Pagan Troll Folk. My brain immediately started to sing "Pagan Troll" to the tune of folk classic "Peg & Awl."

slsk users with borgesian file structures are great, it's a pity i don't have my old userlist to hand

dopey/vu btw

I'm sure I met someone on Slsk (possibly an ilxor) who had their folders divided into DANCE/CRY/SLEEP/RUN/SWIM(!), or something like that (swim was definitely in there) which I thought was excellent.

this is awesome

I don't see how there's any other option here besides pagan troll folkmetal

Can anyone please tell me if "tough-guy" metal really exists, cos I've never heard of it.

I've definitely heard "tough-guy hardcore" used to describe tri-state area stuff like 25 ta life, madball, hatebreed, etc. before.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I wanna hang out with this dude. How pagan+troll+folkmetal can't win, I have no idea.

sent the guy (a french guy, but he did speak the english iirc) a link to this thread but he never responded

lol @ black math horsemen being under "mathy" on name alone--they are undoubtedly sludgey.

restless + righteous

I envy this guy's genre boldness.

can we poll these next?

...doom-death, blackened doom, stoner doom, 4AD/shoegaze influenced dreamy doom, angry and despondent hostile doom, plodding downcast whine-rock doom, momumental funeral procession doom, spacious psychedielic wank doom, folky wintertime slippers doom, beauty and the beast goth foppery doom, blistered sand/desert wash stoner twang doom, emerarld green/overcast sky fairie stoner doom, Atlantean Submerged Civilization Doom, confessional singer-songwriter doom, etc, etc, etc.

YES!!

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
