Top 10 Reasons Why Black Metal is a Terrible Music Genre

Black Metal is a awful music genre. Here's ten reasons why it's a terrible genre. If you like Black Metal that's fine just don't start fights.
The Top Ten
1 No variety

I don't like it too but don't disrespect other genres.

There's no variety in this genre at all.

2 The vocals are atrocious

Black metal is an acquired taste. Not everybody is supposed to like it. The main theme of black metal is nonconformity and misanthropy, so it's not a surprise that many people hate it. It's supposed to be hated by the mainstream

I don't agree with no variety, but I agree with everything else, Black Metal sucks!

Just as bad as Death Metal vocals.

3 It created the infamous "Metal is Satanic" stereotype

It was not meant to be satanic when it was created...

One hell of a accomplishment.

That's why I hate Black Metal.

4 All the lyrics are about the same thing

Even Ronnie James Dio didn't like black metal. His lyrics were dark and deep. But he said, "I wouldn't go that extreme".

Which is a problem with Death Metal to.

5 The instrumentation is terrible

Black metal is known for the fastest metal genre. But ironically, most of the times black metal guitarists aren't on fastest guitarists. I won't say they are talentless or don't give any effort into black metal. But in the end, its just only rhythm guitar.

6 The growling is even worse than Death Metal growling

I've already heard how bad bands like Cannibal Corpse can get but DAMN is the growling terrible.

7 None of the bands stand out

Heavy Metal bands might sound similar to each other but at least they stand out from each other.

8 The themes are awful

Almost as bad as Death Metal themes.

9 It's not creative

I've heard more creativity from hair metal bands and that's SAYING something...

10 There's no effort in the genre

No variation no creativity at all can be found in this genre.

The Contenders
11 It barely has any melody

as a black metal fan, I will say that this is true for some bands (keyword: some). I guess a few people probably find the lack of melody appealing, but I personally don't and I prefer to listen to music that at least has a decipherable enough guitar riff. not something that sounds like a wall of white noise. if I want to listen to that, I can just pay a visit to a construction site

12 It's Satanic
13 It's lame
