Usually consists of a band, whoâs sound is obviously derives from metal (has metal influences), such as distorted electrical guitars, and bass guitars, rapid drumming, and heavy vocals. However the difference between
faggoth metal and
REAL metal is the ideology of the band itself. A faggoth metal band usually poses for popular magazines, while signing on to giant labels in hopes of getting more money. Once this happens and faggoth metal band becomes popular and forgets why they wrote music to begin with.
Faggoth metal bands are known to become quite bastardized, and begin adding their own catchy melodies, such as
synths, pop-influenced playing style and female vocals. Other faggoth metal bands become so melodic and catchy, that eventually mainstream hits become inevitable. Faggoth metal bands are extremely popular in faggoths/
mallgoths that have a conviction that they are listening to the heaviest form of music known to man, which is the only real reason they listen to it. Adherents of faggoth metal are either posers who are too intimidated by the real
real metal culture, and know it, thus this becomes the next best thing for them. Either that or some douche bag jock who think it makes him/her appear tough. Unfortunately for them, this is untrue, and in fact, faggoth metal bands are generally rejected and ridiculed by true metalheads. Prime examples of a faggoth metal bands are
Cradle of Filth (the quintessential example), and Slipknot (they are really a hard rock band, but you get the picture).
Faggoth Metal fan: âDude, this fucking band is so hardcore! I love it, you should listen to it!â
Me: âI rather notâŚâ
Faggoth Metal fan: âYea, I betâŚitâs because youâre too much of a pussy to listen to this, plus youâve been affected by the mainstreamâŚâ
Me: âActually, it is YOU that have been affected by the mainstream, which is the primary reason you listen to this sell out band. You think that this makes you an
anti-conformist, when in fact, this makes you much more of a tool than the prepsâŚAnd BTW, this is not death metal, it is
FAGGOTH metal. If you want death metal, may I suggest a
Morbid Angel album?â
Faggoth Metal fan: âMorbid who?!? Thatâs not metalâŚI meanâŚthisâŚisâŚscaryâŚ.AHH!!â *runs like a girl and gets hit by a speeding biker, instantly becoming decapitated in half*
Me: *shakes head* âahhâŚkids these daysâŚâ
