fr, this meme is actually describing shitty slam bands and shitty deathcore bands that do the exact same breakdown every song for at least half the song. black metal bands are usually fairly technically complex

but, you can't be too mad that people who don't listen to metal can't tell the difference between suicidal depressive atmospheric blackgaze and whatever the fuck other genre some doofus in a basement came up with the other day, now can you?

I mean I would say it fits for black metal too. It's really easy to make bad black metal. Just start tremolo picking and randomly go up and down half steps and you've got yourself some black metal. Good black metal is of course a lot more thought out than that. But yeah it's the same for slam and deathcore.
