“I’m not the kind of guy who typically gravitates towards ’emotionally driven’ metal. At least, not metal that is driven solely by emotional expression. Metal, in essence, represents an outpouring of some sort of strong feelings that may vary widely by genre. But the sadboy sect devoted to mashing up dour poetry and uninvolving chord progressions robs the style of what makes it so special in the first place.” Against sadboys (and widows).
