no.
metal is genius.
and if you pay close attention,
it's developing a definite intellect.
both compositionally, and lyrically.
it's becoming alot more politically/ethically motivated.
even if you can't understand the words being spoken...
even if the lyrics are obscurly metaphorical, and don't make any direct statements (though sometimes they do)
you can still get a sense of meaning in between the lines.
disagree w/ me if you want,
but i think that in recent years, metal is becoming a beautiful reaction to repression.
rebel w/ a rebel yell.....hell yeah.
