I love it, an elitist stance by someone claiming most BM fans arent elitist.
I listen to metal, if that metal happens to come from the US, or Canada, or Sweden, or Poland, or the Ukraine, or Portugal, or Russia, or the fucking Faroe Islands, I really dont give a shit, a good band is a good band. OH TEH NOES I HAVE TASTES OUTSIDE OF SOME SMALL SUBSET OF A GENRE, so what if I listen to American death (Nile, Cephalic Carnage, and Dying Fetus), or that I listen to some hardcore (Pro-Pain), that I listen to folk metal (Arkona, Tyr), whatever, its all fucking metal. Trying to tell me some bullshit about how american metal sucks, or isnt up to par with Europe or whatever the fuck IS AN ELITIST STANCE. The rest of the world has shitty bands too, America isn't unique in that aspect, nor is every band from the States shit, merely because of their country of origin. Congrats, you are one of the troglodytes you spoke of. Hypocritical much?
