And that's just black metal. Literally all the other genres have no association with Nazis.

Ok, that was cool for like the first 20 seconds or so. Then it just became ridiculously monotonous. Just an excuse for you BM fans to headbang, thrash, writhe around spasmodically, and mosh for 8 minutes straight. I've heard Jane Fonda aerobics music that's more interesting.

Ted Bundy liked to **** chicks in the ass with hairspray canisters. He makes Varg look like Goober Pyle when it comes to edgy. It's actually pretty easy to burn down a wooden structure in the middle of the night, out in the middle of nowhere, with a bunch of dudes helping out.

Monotonous isn't necessarily bad, if it manages to be atmospheric and hypnotic. And it certainly does.

Huh? Is that what the music made you do? Because I can listen to it normally.

Lmao this has got to be one of your dumbest arguments.

European power metal and Nazism doesn't seem to go together for sure. Amusing thought, actually.

While I agree that it can be a good thing to be monotonous, Burzum is the furthest thing from atmospheric and hypnotic.

You don't find this atmospheric or hypnotic?

Burzum never played live cause it was a one man project. So nobody was moshing to anything.

And I masturbate more furiously to his exploits than I do Varg's.

Not really, no. I find it more in line with something I'd listen to if I were pissed off. Agalloch fits the bill for being atmospheric far better than Burzum does.

I can see that. I think that the repetitiveness of it tends to make it hypnotic with how dense it can be.
