Formerly u/therealjaluvshuskies on reddit
Reddit refugee - So I think I might be considered a baby metal head, though I just started getting into this genre. I’m guessing that what I’ve been listening to is more “light metal” but I have no idea
I had never listened to metal before and always though it was too screamy, but I let youtube music autoplay do it’s thing, and it has somehow played some songs that I genuinely really, really dig
It started by playing me Sabaton, but I’ve somehow veered towards artists like Beast in Black - it seems more melodic?
Some of my favorites so far are:
I’m not sure why, but I think I’ve seen some judgments against people who listen to these bands. Maybe they’re overrated or not the real deal or the stereotypical “starter metal bands”? Either way, as a musician (Violist in orchestras) I love how these songs have a tune to them and are melodic. I tend to veer away if it’s too monotone or screamy, but I’m open to more suggestions :)
I do as well. At least the threads I’ve read through, most of the time reddit was pretty good about downvoting the shit out of a comment that has misinformation or the user is being a dbag (racist, sexist, unnecessarily negative, etc) which was one of my favorite things. I could always count on users to call out those types of comments. It made searching for answers and information so easy and also amusing
Sometimes I would run across a comment that just downvoted purely for their opinion, which was one of the problems it had, but in my opinion (10+ years on reddit), it doesn’t seem nearly as often as people claim
To answer the thread: I like it, I use Jeroba for Android but I’m a long time user of reddit boost which I think is way ahead. I’m not a fan of the website yet but I just think it’s a little confusing
