Metal music is appealing to the youngcel, but to the apprentice mage, it becomes apparent that it isn't his people's music at all: the musicians are all sexhavers.

What metal were you listening to and how old are you now THOUGH

Had a thrash metal phase in my teens I thought I grew out of, but recently I discovered Death and Necrophagist and I love them.

For me I found that my taste was normified. When I was a teenager I listened to a lot of Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold and Dream Theater. As I grew older I transitioned to "real metal" (Sodom, Death, Mortification) but nowadays I mostly listen to Avenged Sevenfold, Metallica and Dream Theater again.

As you age, your tolerance for loudness war mastering decreases, and pretty much all new metal is brickwalled so you're stuck with the old releases you've heard enough times already.

Same but all music in general. Seems like it's just a tool for formulating personality based on consumption and association rather than anything of actual introspective value. It's just poseuristic shit.

When it comes to meal, which is the genre I most listen to, I've lost any and all will to "explore". I have 0 tolerance for "underground" shit (read: DOGSHIT). I just like the greats of the subgenres I'm into. Also, I value jazz more highly the more time goes by. Again, only Miles, though.

You love saying this at every opportunity. Daddy issues?

this but with everything. i still listen to music, it's just harder to classify collectively.
i'm also trying to make music so for at least a few years i'm going to be in a weird phase listening-wise

The older I age, the more metal I listen to.

Metal is for manchildren yes
if you still listen to it at 35 you are weird

>>129576429
I'm 40 and I listen to more metal now than I listened to when I was 13, but I also listen to tons of other things I didn't listen to then. My tastes have grown wider over time, not smaller.

metal is still great at age 32 if you completely ignore the lyrics (which i do)

Do your parents know you're gay?

There's only so much normal instrument played through heavy distortion you can hear before you get sick of it. Especially as you mellow out with age. Eventually you might want to hear how the instruments really sound and hear a singer who is crystal clear.

being in touch with your inner child is based tho

It was the same for me. I was a gigantic metalhead in my teens but now I rarely listen to it. It's pretty common in extreme bands for them to mellow out as they get older too, more common than it is for them to keep writing the same music. Or they just disband. It's probably a little different for everyone as to why and it doesn't happen for some people, so it's hard to understand fully.

Used to think the same, now I'm in a metal kick

>The older I get the less [Genre] is interesting.
Probably because you never got involved in the scene apart from listening to mp3 files. It was just leisure to you, not culture.
