Racism and sexism in heavy metal highlighted in new study

So it turns out that heavy metal folk music is racist and sexist. This study reads like the onion. How much you wanna bet "we" paid for this study.

A new study from Leeds Beckett University has revealed how the metal music subgenre of folk metal is not only a fantasy space for young, white European men but also an important example of how heavy metal can be seen to normalise masculinity and ‘whiteness’ and perpetuate sexism and racism.

Metal has always been a beacon for people with extreme worldviews, including those of the leftist variety, but increasingly the community is embracing modern leftism.

Which is hilarious, as the modern left views all metal, not just folk metal, as misogynist, racist, etc.

There are at LEAST 100 sub-genres of metal, to say that sexism or racism exists in these genres across the board is ridiculous..

One thing I will say is that it is easy to HIDE these lyrics in metal because most metal is screamed and pretty hard if not impossible to distinguish the lyrics... in which case it hardly makes much difference...

[CPUd]

Metal is often misunderstood. For instance, this is a song about making friends:

Its only racist if a white guy says something mean to a black guy and sexist when a man doesn't obey a woman.

[Anti Federalist]

Yeah, "heavy metal".

You'll hear "******s" more times in one contemporary rap song than hanging around 100 tight assed white folks for a 100 years.

Yo, I never fucked Wayne, I never fucked Drake
All my life, man, fuck's sake
If I did I did a menage with 'em
And let 'em eat my ass like a cupcake
My man full, he just ate, I don't duck nobody but tape
Yeah, that was a set up for a punchline on duct tape
Worried bout if my butt's fake
Worried 'bout John's singing us Drake
These girls are my sons, John and Kate plus eight
When I walk in, sit up straight, I don't give a fuck if I was late
Dealing with my man on a G5 is my idea of an update
Hut one, hut two, big titties, big butt too
Fuck with them real niggas who don't tell niggas what they up to
Had to show bitches where the top is, ring finger where the rock is
These hoes couldn't test me even if their name was pop quiz
Bad bitches who I fuck with, mad bitches we don't fuck with
I don't fuck with them chickens unless they last name is cutlet
Let it soak in, like seasonin'
And tell 'em, tell 'em blow me, Lance Stephenson


Raise your bottle and cup in the sky
Sparks in the air like the fourth of July
Nothing but bad bitches in here tonight
Oh, if you lame and you know it be quiet
Nothing but real niggas only, bad bitches only
Rich niggas only, independent bitches only
Boss niggas only, thick bitches only
I got my real niggas here by my side, only


I never fucked Nicki cause she got a man
But when that's over then I'm the first in line
And the other day in her Maybach
I thought god damn, this is the perfect time
We had just come from that video
You know LA traffic, how the city slow
She was sitting down on that big butt
But I was still staring at the titties though
Yeah, low key it may be high key
I been peeped that you like me you know
Who the fuck you really wanna be with besides me?
I mean it doesn't take much for us to do this shit quietly, I mean
She say I'm obsessed with thick women and I agree
That's right I like my girls BBW, yeah
Type to wanna suck you dry and then eat some lunch with you
So thick that everyone else in the room is so uncomfortable
Ass on Houston Texas, but the face look just like Claire Huxtable
Oh, yeah, you the man in the city when the mayor fuck with you
The NBA players fuck with you
The bad ass bitches doing makeup and hair fuck with you
Oh, that's cause I believe in something, and I stand for it
And Nicki if you ever tryna fuck
Just give me the heads up so I can plan for it


Raise your bottle and cup in the sky
Sparks in the air like the fourth of July
Nothing but bad bitches in here tonight
Oh, if you lame and you know it be quiet
Nothing but real niggas only, bad bitches only
Rich niggas only, independent bitches only
Boss niggas only, thick bitches only
I got my real niggas here by my side, only


I never fucked Nicki and that's fucked up
If I did fuck she'd be fucked up
Whoever is hittin' ain't hittin' it right
Cause she actin' like she need dick in her life
That's another story, I'm no story teller
I piss greatness like gold is yellow
All my goons so overzealous
I'm from Holly Groove, the holy Mecca
Accountant say I got money for days
I squirm and I shake, but I'm stuck in my ways
My girl from a Bida if she wave
Baby and I fucked with her surfboard, surfboard
My eyes are so bright, I take cover for shade
Don't have my money? I take mothers instead
You got the hickups, you swallowed the truth
Then I make you burp boy, treat me like sirloin
I'm talkin' bout runnin' in houses with arm and guns
So think about your son and daughter rooms
Got two goons and they got smaller guns
Ain't thinkin' bout your son and daughter rooms
This is just crazy my nigga, I mean brazy my nigga
That money talk, I just rephrase it my nigga
Blood gang take the B, I'll behave ya
I'm niggas is for reals
If you mouth off, I blow your face off
I mean pop-pop-pop, then I take off
Now you see me, now you don't
Like Jamie Foxx, acting like Ray Charles
16 in a clip, one in the chamber
17 Ward bully with 17 bullets
My story is how I went from poor me
To police pour me a drink and celebrate with me


Raise your bottle and cup in the sky
Sparks in the air like the fourth of July
Nothing but bad bitches in here tonight
Oh, if you lame and you know it be quiet
Nothing but real niggas only, bad bitches only
Rich niggas only, independent bitches only
Boss niggas only, thick bitches only
I got my real niggas here by my side, only

Most "hard" or heavy metal rock lyrics are left leaning.

What's wrong with being sexy?

"Well, you have your beauty and attractive privilege!" Just Because you were born to look a certain way means that we need to limit you rights and life. We must punish you for your appearance to be more like my fat 300lb cunt ass! Dat thin privilege!

On a serious note I have no understanding of modern liberals. They just look insane to me.

Too bad I couldn't find that scene on youtube, it certainly belongs here.

But remember back in 1985, when al gore and his wife were saying similar things, and even went so far as to hold a senate hearing on labeling and censoring music? So of course, these go here:

Absolutely classic stuff. Although I was already a huge Zappa fan, I never cared for Dee Snider's or John Denver's music. But their appearances here earned those guys a huge amount of respect from me. 30 years later, I still don't like their music, but I'll defend them to the hilt, simply for going up against al gore as they did here!

edit to add:
And of course, even The Mentors were attacked by al and tipper gore, too bad they never got to participate in the fun. I have a great article about it in Spin Magazine from April 1986, which includes an interview with El Duce where he talks about the 1st Amendment ("That's why they wrote it number one") :) Dr. Heathen scum mentions tipper gore and the PMRC on the band's website:

http://www.churchofelduce.com/news/news_12_pmrc.htm

In 1984 I Dr. Pope Scum was in Washington DC visting business associates at the Columbian Embassy. It was a black tie/black hood diplomatic party that I made the acquantance of lonely Washington wife, Tipper Gore, wife of then Senator Al Gore. Senator Gore it seems wasnt serving Tipper in the way that a Man needs to take care of a woman, and I in an intoxicated state made a move on this fine piece of ass. I did her every which way and took her on a trip around the world, sexually speaking. She told me it was the best boning she had ever had, and needed it bad. As she explained, Al Gore had fallen victim to the syndrome of "turning gay when they hit middle age syndrome". As i explained, her chunky slutty look gave me a major hard on.

I thought is was cool and understood between us that this was just a FFFF situation ( find her, feel her, fuck her, forget her ). But when i refused to take her phone calls after the initial screw, she apparently got extremely upset and decided to try to run my band out of business.

Here is a picture of myself and this lovely lady, prior to the coital event which occurred just moments later. I have been silent about this for many years as a true gentleman that I am, but feel compelled by patriotic duty to spill the beans in order to give the full information to the American public in this election year.

LMAO

[alucard13mm]

So rap and hip hop is... okay?... cause... the majority is created by people of dark skin complexion?. I am confused lol.

SJW are such cunts and have too much time on their hands. I hope once the government has gone full retard and go into martial law... the SJW will be the first ones to get executed by either a totalitarian or facist or marxist goernment to be honest lol.

Hm. I just remembered that I have that Blackmore's Night box set. Even though it isn't metal. Really good stuff, though. Folky, for sure. They use the really old/ancient instruments.

THE METAL - Tenacious D

You can't kill the metal
The metal will live on
Punk-Rock tried to kill the metal
But they failed, as they were smite to the ground
New-wave tried to kill the metal
But they failed, as they were stricken down to the ground
Grunge tried to kill the metal Ha,hahahahaha
They failed, as they were thrown to the ground
Aargh! yeah! [x2]

[Singing]

No-one can destroy the metal
The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow
We are the vanquished foes of the metal
We tried to win for why we do not know

New-wave tried to destroy the metal, but the metal had its way
Grunge then tried to dethrone the metal, but metal was in the way
Punk-rock tried to destroy the metal, but metal was much too strong
Techno tried to defile the metal, but techno was proven wrong
Yea!

Metal!
It comes from hell!
