We've all used the multitude of words in the metal lexicon, whether it'd be "Br00tal", "kvlt", "mallcore", or my personal favorite Blowpeth and Agasuck (yes I'm brilliant). But when these words eventually gained widespread usage, they became no better than your average 4chan meme. What is the worst circumstance you've seen our terminology used in, and if you could destroy these words forever, would you do so? |

All of them though it's sometimes funny to write in metal-retarded-languague. |

Norsecore is a pretty harrowing word. |

Nu-metal, Melodeath, Unblack Metal, and yeah, Norsecore is quite annoying too (although it fits perfectly some bands like Dark Funeral). I'm fine with Kvlt. |

I have never heard "blasturbation" before now. Going to use it in a review for next week. |

Yep, it should be a genre for bands influenced by Bathory and Discharge. |

I've never seen "br00tal" used for any other purpose than being ironic. |

Get rid of these cunts of phrases and I'm a happy man. "Evolution" - as in a band "evolving" into a softer sound. Suggested replacement phrases: "sold out," gone soft/commercial." "Progression" - same context as above. Suggested replacement phrases: "sold out," gone soft/commercial." "Open minded" - it's metal. Fuck off if you don't like it. |

I wouldn't call eg Death sell-outs for the changes to that sound. I think "sell-out" is a pretty crap term myself. Fuck off if you don't like it. |

Yeah, I'd prefer the term turning to shit. |

So dead1 thinks it's stupid to describe Ihsahn's development from Thou Shalt Suffer through Emperor to his solo album as an evolution or progression. How else the fuck would you describe it?

Selling out or going soft/commercial, obviously. Durr. |

I don't see how Death sold out (with Symbolic, I presume), because it's definitely still not radio rock. I would use selling out to describe Metallica or Megadeth in the mid 90s or whenever. |

I was thinking more the following: In Flames Soilwork Fear Factory (at times) Machine Head Metallica Megadeth Opeth - they used to have Death Metal bits in there! Slayer - Numetal wannabe shit. Anthrax - Stomp 442 and We've Come For You All The Haunted Paradise Lost Katatonia Amorphis Anathema Theatre of Tragedy Iced Earth (progression mean't turning to Europower metal cause they sold more there) Etc Etc That sort of thing... |

This is insanity... enough said. I really don't feel like arguing with someone when I know they're out of their minds! With mentions like Ihsahn, Amorphis, Katatonia, Opeth and Paradise Lost. |
