If music doesn't have wide appeal it's not good music


If it's music you wouldn't play around just anybody out of fear of spite, rejection, hate, embarrassment , etc is it good music? or just music you like that you don't like playing around others?

That's the dumbest thing ive ever heard.

If it has mass appeal it is lierally made for the lowest common denominator.

This wouldnt be contrary to the topic title though. Something could still have mass appeal and your mom could be the minority hater.

I played Fear Inoculum at my work that pretty much runs hip hop and pop 99% of the time and they were like, wtf is this? Its odd. After giving it a listen they said they liked it but totally out of place, which Id agree. So Id say it could be argued to have mass appeal but limited exposure may mean its just unknown vs more popular stuff, this not actually being limited appeal.

Depends how strictly we adhere to the definition of metal. If we can count heavy, hair, thrash, power, progressive, and everything in between (if I say alt metal we might as well start going into pop bands)...Id say it has been mainstream but faded in recent years for lack of a popular band for exposure.

Zeppelin, Sabbath, Maiden, Tool, Dream Theater, Def Leppard, Motley Crew, Disturbed (lenient with these yeah yeah) - just for a few examples, all hit fairly high mainstream successes at some point in their careers. I know most of those metal enthusiasts will argue could be disqualified but they have influences or at least some aspects of metal. Im not using the if its popular its not metal take

As snobby as this sounds, I suspect you're a very casual music listener and treat it purely as a social engagement thing, so I don't know if this kind of music would land with you well. It's the kind of thing I like to listen to on long drives or even just in a room with headphones doing literally nothing else.

Arguing with metal heads about how to define genres of metal is maybe one of the most pointlessly boring and fruitless endeavours someone could undertake, lol

100%. Sad and pathetic I use to bother responding about that on the metal board but I choose to punish myself around here on a regular basis for no reason.
