Metal Is the last Bastion of Freedom

In a world of political correctness, ideological group-think, authoritarian governments, there is always one genre of music that has always been scapegoated by conformists, religious fanatics, and of course the PC liberal hipsters who believe in their worldview, they can make metal more "socially acceptable" Who the fuck do they think they're talking to.

Metal is unapologetic, raw, unfiltered, chaotic and can vary in all subject matter because nothing is sacred to us. metal has always been on the fringe and disenfranchised long before Starbucks Marxists were born half aborted through their academia and safe space helicopter parenting society. To anyone who is a metalhead, you and I both know that we are on the lines of merit, freedom and liberty as well as of course rebellion. Most of us just want to be left alone to our alone devices, and enjoy the Music without a bunch of uptight squares giving us the stink eye and giving us their moral lectures. Now i know not all metalheads can enjoy the lifestyle because and here is an example if you are caught making etal music or even wearing a band T-shirt, you could get arrested. Whether it's religious or political, Metal will always be anti-authority, anti-censorship, pro merit, anti-conformity and raw unfiltered dare i say Masculine, more specifically with Thrash, Death and Black metal, and in general Metal is a masculine genre, but we don't exclude females. We have plenty of talented musicians from all walks of life and all backgrounds and they prove their status by getting onstage, moshing, kicking ass and blowing the world away, because that's who we are.

In less than 30 years metal has become its own subculture, and now it can have the potential to become its own religion, or at least it's own philosophy and the only requirement is the love of the music. When I say metal is the last bastion of freedom, i mean it's because all sorts of fucked up shit are already in some of the subgenres, and people love that shit. They like it because well it's music. People who listen to metal are no stranger to controversy, and that's why we can never be overthrown by the media dominated Social Justice Warrior, and Marxist culture. We have been through much worse because back in the 80s with the bitch tipper gore and the religious right (remember Tipper Gore is a Democrat) tried to basically remove offensive content from music, and thank god that it never came down to this and it just came down to essentially a parental advisory rating, ironically more albums more sold because of that.

In Conclusion: Metal will never conform to anyone who is in power because we generally don't like people telling us what to do. We are not criminals. We are lawful citizens wherever we are. And metal has more in common with the Wild West mentality. Essentially chaotic and at the same time more free and less authoritarian than most of the entertainment industry, and establishment politics. We do not recognize illegitimate authority. We have a more Wild West and Minarchist attitude. Well at least here in the United States and the Western World, not sure about anywhere else though. Our numbers and influence is growing as 2016 was an all-time record high for metal albums. Because of the chaos and instability of the world, metal has become an outlet to express our discontent with the way things are being run. As Dave Mustaine would put it "Metal is at its strongest when the world is about to lose its mind"
