[QUOTE="arktouros:1194166"]I have been listening to heavy music since I had the capacity to make the choice, but I had no true exposure to death metal until I was out of high school. I'm the guy that can tell who a band is or exactly where their influences lie just by the sound, but I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge like Jim or Dwyer. It's in my nature to absorb the best or most useful form of anything and completely ignore any extraneous data, for better or worse, which I why I don't care about 99% of music that passes by, but that 1% I cannot live without. I've found that anybody who makes an effort to seek out bands far beyond the mainstream, especially in heavy music, has a certain type of personality, and a rebellious disposition from the start. They exhibit at the very least a respectable taste in all art, and inevitably know that their taste is "refined" even if they don't have to make other people know about it. I have no use for elitism or fascism in any form, but it's hard to deny feelings of disdain toward someone who does not make efforts to refine their artistic taste. Remember that it's 2011, the roots of metal have been around for a lifetime now. The information age tends to dumb down everything, but there are still kids out there that can tell if something has artistic value or not. It's a generational thing, metal (or even just loud music) is becoming more mainstream and fewer are able to sort the good from the bad. It takes people with that disposition to shun what is popular and make the effort...[/QUOTE]
