Whenever I see someone saying they don't like a band, I try to see why they would think so, but honestly, I see no fault in Dimmu. Sure, they may not have that old "Tr00" black metal sound, but they don't play absolute ****, not like Cradle (horrible). Their also the perfect gateway band for people to get into black metal. Dimmu lead me to Old man's Child, lead me to Satyricon, to Emperor, to Immortal, and so on. They don't slack off either. I mean, Cradle, I think, had some more interesting stuff back then (Cruelty and the Beast was alright), but now it just sounds like half-ass goth-core.
I'm not gonna say that everyone's wrong for hating dimmu (if you do hate them, of course).

Fuck Ethan your musical tastes have changed!
Dimmu are quite cliched from what I have heard but I can listen to them as long as I don't have to look at them as they look a walking cliche (as do most bands of this ilk).

100% of the time when people like dimmu borgir, it's not for the ultra vague hints of their ancient quasi-hinted at relationship to black metal, it's for all the other nonsense they have going on. I wouldn't even care about this band at all except it gives people a bad idea as to what black metal is all about. It's just pop disguised as rebelious music for dark kids. A triumph of marketing more than anything else, quiet impressive actually that they could convince so many people that such tame pop music is "dark" and "evil" or whatever.

I don't think of Dimmu as "dark" or "evil." Come to think of it, I don't think any of the bands I listen to as "dark" or "evil." Are there actually people who think this? Where are they? Give me names! We'll round them up in concentration camps for their stupidity.
I like Dimmu Borgir for their music. Not because their black metal or not, or that their "grim" and "necro" or not. I think there are other black metal bands that beat Dimmu (Immortal, for one. "Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism" owns). I dunno, maybe I just can't see why people have a problem with them. Is it because their popular? No offense, but that's kind of a *** reason to dislike a band. But to each his own.
