is it too tryhard to wear a black metal t-shirt to the gym
I'm probably gonna do it anyway since nobody likes me so I have nothing to lose
just wanted to know if anybody here does it

a lot of black metal is gay with high pitched screetching, also cringe satanism
death metal is far heavier and more brutal, as it deals with the universal concept of death itself
ooooh wooow le epic death meme so brooootal memento mori and stuff rghrgrhrghrgrhgrghrg
hair metal chads rise up
CUM ON FEEEEL THE NOIZZZEEEEEEEEEE
Platinum Blond is peak 80s glam-metal hair band fr no cap
they look like absolute fags. but I saw live footage on yt and the crowds were filled with women. they drowned in pussy. meanwhile, I went to cannibal corpse show. full of smelly incel types
Hair "metal" is not metal. It's glam rock played by drag queens.
Nice Bathory shirt
Death metal and black metal both deal with similar themes. Pleb.
>Death metal and black metal both deal with similar themes. Pleb.
no they don't. death metal is bunch of edge lord who try to sound mentally ill while black metal is bunch of mentally ill schizos who try to sound edgy.
hair metal is more metal than you'll ever be
>a lot of black metal is gay with high pitched screetching, also cringe satanism
objectively true
I listen to both and I'm not a Satanist
both black and death metal vocals are poser cringe shit. True enlightenment is realizing that King Diamond always had the perfect metal vocals
?t=40
I hate king diamond he has the voice of Halford if Halford had 10 cocks up his ass penetrating at different speeds
It is and always has been for shock value to get their name out to edgy bullied middle class kids.
>to edgy bullied middle class kids
so to the average IST user?
polos highlight a really nice physique though so im guessing yours looks like shit otherwise youd be dying to put on a polo tucked into your pants no belt
If you have to listen to cringe in the first place, at least listen to doom metal.
>black metal is gay with high pitched screetching
yes this is why i only listen to metal with fart vocals
never in my life have i heard this, you are mistaken with some other metal.
I am fan of post-black usually.
english speakers cannot compete though
Fucking based tbqh. Just cut the sleeves off for max comfy. Did that with my Ketzer shirt.
Try this moron
Based. Black metal has always been dogshit for edgelords.
Black Metal is music for the elite and you do not understand it. None of you understand the real Satanism. You ridiculous little kids. Our worldview is based on Wotanic Hitlerism, on a personal level satanic individualism, collective level Hitleric Fascism. Without an understanding of the theoretical occultism, it is useless to dream of understanding the Wotanic worldview. None of you can understand Wotanism, for you are all intellectually earthworms. You can not reach the elite level of Satanism, so why even you dream about it. Satanism and Black Metal are the elite. For real misanthropists
Could you be any more gay?
>not recognizing classic metal pasta
NGMI
>cringeworth copypasta
you're going to make it
you sound like a poser or a bot.
satanism and any symbolism relating to it is cringe
That's objectively false, rebellion against the status quo has always been cool. People want to be rebels
You think you're cool for rebelling against being straight, huh?
I don't hate Satanists, I think the philosophy and aesthetic is kinda cool, at least not cringe, but the religion part is retarded and it was made by a garden gnome (LaVey) so that part is cringe
actual, real Satanism is picrel
legitimately kys, you're unbelievably cringe. gay
one of those isn't even me idiot
based
shitting on christianity isn't rebelling against anything nowadays... stupid fucking liberals never seem tor ealise they aren't rebelling, they are in power.
Wanna be a rebel? Starter pack is tree-fiddy
is being furry rebellious tbh
No, it's cringe worthy.
you can't be a rebel and be cool at the same time
yeah but a satanist rebels against God, it's like a kid being mad at his dad for not letting him eat dog poop
>you aren't allowed to be mad at my gnomish god!!
keep kvetching gay
it's obvious that garden gnomes worship satan. retard
>my religion is totally different from judaism we killed more white people
i know christcuckery is a plague
Rationalise the burning, seething hatred garden gnomes have for Christianity.
abrahamic religions are all fucking gay and not for whites
That's not what I asked.
>cucks
>killed tons of people
which on is it fedora
So this is the power... of zero theological knowledge...
>rebellion against the status quo has always been cool.
>Edgy satanic shit
>Rebellious
You're 15 years too late
More like 25
This
Fag
>wearing babe shirts after middle school
Shiggy diggy grow up
shut up moron, I'm not gonna wear a polo and khakis to "feel like an adult"
I could probably be your dad btw
You don’t have to dress like a frat bro either. There’s more clothing out there than polos and band shirts..and if that’s true that’s even more sad.
dressing like a metalhead is dressing like a frat bro? are you an actual idiot?
Why don’t you read what I was replying to you fucking retarded moron.
illiterate?
based. insecure retards need to feel "grown up" so they buy clothes that look like shit and then dont leave the house for anything but work anyway.
I like wearing band shirts too but not when I work out. They just get sweaty and gross.
to sport bathory graphic black metal tees you must be /fit - fa/ bathory chad
Badlord?
Bathory.
batlord
looks like a virgin. and dyel + fat = skinny fat
I knew that most zoomers are afraid to show individuality and wear something out of the ordinary but that IST has so many low self-esteem gays I haven't expected
I'm gonna wear it anyway, enjoy your standardized broccoli cut, oversized pants and oversized hoodie zoomer uniform, make sure you don't offend anybody
>he thinks he’s offending ppl by wearing band t-shirts of ppl nobody has ever heard of.
>love black metal
>want to buy black metal shirts
>don't want the satanic/anti-religious symbols on me
It's a complicated feel. I don't give a fuck about lyrics, but having a pentagram or inverted cross on my shirt makes me uneasy.
I'm the same, I actually don't care. Pentagram doesn't have to represent Satanism, it's more of a general occult / demonology symbol. It's a part of the aesthetic, anyway 90% of zoomers have the retarded cross earrings and they're not Christians
i've had one of those bathory goat shirts since I was 14 and still wear it regularly lol, sometimes to gym. normies always come asking what is the band.
found a flex pic too lmao
fit batlord ceps mirin fuck
cringe
this bro knows whats up although i like a bit of groove metal myself
do.not listen to anons before me, all they did was recommending european/german power metal which is also known as gay metal.
try US power metal (way different, high test music), such as the
- Forté - rise above album (highlights: destroyer, rise above, ninety nine)
- Holy Mother - Toxic rain (highlights: toxic rain, wars, losing my bet)
- Mystik - The plot sickens (highlights: Commandment, reflections of the dying)
based
>mentions US power metal on IST
>no Manowar
I know they're basic but they're quintessential IST band
sure why not, i just dont like them but that dude i replied to might
I love manowar, high test vitalist music, a bit cheesy but in a good way, love the sound. Any recommendations?
Based USPM enjoyer, cannot believe the fag that suggested fucking rhapsody of fire
Some more classic USPM would be
- Jag Panzer
- Riot
- Liege Lord
- Helstar
I like the older stuff a decent amount but there's real gold to be found in this youtube channel https://youtube.com/@NWOTHMFullAlbums
sleeves baggy as shit because arms and traps and shoulders are so tiny lol. just no.
nice friend
Just buy orthodoxy shirts, search the death to the world website. Is a similar aesthetic but it’s made from god and it’s a symbol of worship so you can wear it with a purpose. May god be with you
it may as well be a plain black t-shirt, the only difference is I will probably think "oh hey, whatever band that is, they probably suck". If I don't recognize the band, there's a >95% chance of me thinking their music is copy pasted trash. There's a handful of metal bands I absolutely love and the rest is just inauthentic cringe garbage to my ears. But hey, people would probably think what I listen to is trash. Fair enough. I just don't care either way. The probability that I like the same bands you do is extremely low, and in the off chance we really like the same band its just kind of like a "nice" inside my head and that ends my response to whatever the fuck is plastered on your shirt.
The only music genre wih 0 morons in it.
Band shirts are a bit gay, but I've had some good interactions with guys with Obituary and King Crimson shirts in the gym. The Crimson boomer might have had a similar powelevel to me, he actually knew references, bands, members etc.
For me it's power metal.
Everytime I try to get into power metal via Blind Guardian or something else I can't stop thinking it's boring and quit 10 minutes in
Recommend me a good song
Try out Powerwolf - Sanctified with dynamite
I kinda like all of their songs lately.
Rhapsody is another good band imo
I started listening to powerwolf lately too, they're greatgreat, but the latest album was underwhelming
Demons and wizards has the vocalist from blind guardian. Touched by the crimson king is good stuff.
Listen to Sellsword, and Rhapsody of Fire
Everything after Follow the Blind including Follow the Blind sucks, Battalions of Fear is their only good album.
Have literal needle scars from my H days along with a Venom crop top, if anything it makes people fuck off and leave me alone, which is good.
why was Swedish glam so much better than American glam.
ngl I've avoided new USPM because they made me feel self conscious as a guitar player but I don't give a fuck anymore, I'll check those bands out, thanks for recs anon.
Fuckin based USPM selections, more blue collar Conan oriented in Jag Panzer and Helstar's case, Liege Lord's output was fantastic, Master Control is a brilliant record, so is Riot. If I were to add to that list, Omen, Carnivore on the first record, maybe Manilla Road post Crystal Logic, Crimson Glory and early Queensryche for more white collar complex USPM
Here's a couple of obscure cuts
>Demilich
Neat, I'm sure you've checked out Purtenance right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEuGiXJ1bus
TIME STANDS STILL ON THE IROOOON HILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Wear Christian symbology all over your body and clothes and when someone tries to talk to you start chanting in Latin
Based fashie Trad Cath bro
christcucks genocided more whites than anyone you brown gay
Good.
>be 14
>be anti Christian because it's edgy
>be 32
>now be Christian because it's also edgy
weird how things change
hopefully being chistian is edgy when you die, for your sake
I can't get into this album because it sounds like it was recorded on somebody's phone in 2004
bathory isn't black metal.
Bro I go to the gym and wear tank tops with massive cutting scars on both of my arms and shoulders. Don't give a fuck. They're not your peers they're just gym people. You go there to work out and get strong. I went with my wife's pink water bottle too and a pink no bullying shirt. Who gives a fuck? Not my problem.
>went with my wife's pink water bottle too and a pink no bullying shirt. Who gives a fuck? Not my problem.
Did you also use your wife's pink squatplug that time?
Sensitive little girls who get upset if someone thinks they're unmanly.
You're the second example.
There's three types of men who wear pink. Those who see it as masculine and don't give a fuck about what people think they know about color. Those who see it as feminine and mistakenly think that being confidently feminine is masculine. And gays.
Therefore wearing pink could mean anything. Therefore it means nothing.
All very available at your local Hot Top fr fr no cap
I actually like misfits but would never wear a misfits shirt in public, I don't want to get mistaken for someone who enjoys punk rock rather than just someone who likes that one band.
I have a Kill 'Em All shirt because I think that was Metallica's best album; does that make me a poser?
fuck dude i still have my misfits and ride the lightning shirt better get dlrid of them cause some incel on IST called me a poser
This one sucks as Ride the Lightning is seriously my favorite metallica album.
I wear my old darkthrone and slayer shirts from highschool with the arms cut off, who gives a shit lol. Nobody cares what you wear
it's only acceptable if you got the shirt from the merch table at a show
oh shut the fuck up you disgusting hipster idiot
you can also go on bandcamp and support bands without them having to show up in your shitty town and tolerate your fat greasy face salivating over their artistry
I feel bad for you if that is how you view going to metal shows. it is a transcendental experience
I've been to some great shows friend, I'm just informing you that there's no need to gatekeep metal, it is indeed for us losers and should be as accessible as possible because most bands are poor as fuck.
Metal is and always has been music for losers
ARE YOU SAYING THERE MIGHT BE LOSERS ON MY IST?
Everything done on IST is considered for losers. Look at the fucking boards there are here, you're not better than anyone.
OOGA BOOGA
change the weirdo guy to djent/the faggy band that sings agout whales and shit that redditors love and its perfect
it's only tryhard if you're tryharding. If you like a band/artist and wear something that makes you feel good, why would there be anything wrong with that? But don't wear something just to seem cool or edgy... you'll just look gay. B urself and b happy
Just do at most the shirt cost 25 bucks. Just maybe there's another bathory fan that'll use it as a excuse to talk to you. Anyone saying its cringe is a NPC gay whos afraid of and incapable of dealing attention.
Band t-shirts at the gym is a very 30-year-old boomer move, zoomers don't do that. So of course I proudly represent.
Pro-tip: the more worn out the t-shirt and the more mainstream the band, the better.
i too wear my 90s nirvana shirt everywhere
The only band tank top I have is a local one so I'd be surprised if anyone here recognised it. I'll wear it if it's the first tank top I pull out my draw while looking for some gym clothes.
>pic related is what's on it
the only band shirts I have left is an old worn Protomen shirt and local band called Nylithia
Vengence still gets me pumped
Make it a sleeveless crop top and wear bright yellow short shorts. Have long unkempt metalheads hair but a beautiful clean shaven face. Say extremely kind and pleasant things to people but with a cold callous delivery.
Nah, bro. Raise your flag high and proud.
vade retro satana :0
The gym is literally the place where people care the least of what you wear
Blackcraft cult and any of your fav bands whatever no one gives a shit what you do aslong as its not a tshirt with someone fucking a newborn baby on it people wont care.
nobody liked you because you make these kinda threads
who gives a fuck
>Bathory
Good taste anon have you listened to Hammerheart?
Viking metal is based, see y’all in Valhalla
Do you actually enjoy black metal? If not wearing band shirts to have a specific look is just lame.
Do your own thing my dude, I used to be a metal head in high school and girls loved me, I was super popular, had a band, etc.
When I went to college I started trying to fit in with the normies, cut my hair, dressed like them, etc. This went on for like 10 years and I was just miserable, I'll never fit in with normies, they're boring as fuck, they don't have anything interesting to talk about, and I got tired of pretending I was like them.
Now I'm back to doing whatever the fuck I want, and it feels amazing. I'm going to concerts and meeting tons of hot goth chicks and cool dudes that are way better than the normies I forced myself to interact for so many years. When you're part of the metal subculture it's hard to get out, because most other shit is just worse.
Black metal is shit, real niqqas listen to 80s metal
The problem with normie/pop/catchy music is that it gets annoying and boring after a few minutes, the songs are super short and predictable, you get sick of it quickly. I found that the music that is hardest to digest is the most satisfying.
I wear all of my sludge metal band tees why not if you're handsome and not dyel it comes off as cool but rheres a tubby dude who wears slipknot tees and shit who doesn't pull it off also here at my gym. I get a lot of questions from boomers about why i have pictures of gacy on my shirt when I wear my acid bath tee it's funny
Yeah this is the thing, if you're ugly you're a tryhard, if you're good looking then you're cool as fuck.
no (you)s for garden gnomes
frog poster and tik tok watcher thinking his opinion matters or is relevant fuck off moron
You can do whatever but nowadays i only wear my metal shirts to concerts.
I often wear my old (15 or so yrs) tattered slayer shirt
zoomers actually tell me its cool
do it
For me it's picrel
Not if you wear pic related
I wanna see someone actually have some balls and wear a shirt that says some wild shit like "Martin Luther King Jr. was a moron".
>something wild
>the objective truth
what has the world come to?
My friend in college had a Grand Belial's Key shirt that said "garden gnome" on it. He was Columbian, kek
That's because you've turned your brain off. Perhaps music that isn't sugar pop is too complex for a frog poster like yourself.
so corny. nobody is going to think you're kewl which is the only reason you'd wear this because some shitty t shirt like this isnt going to highlight your physique at all
just do it if you want to you insecure gay
i wear graphic metal shirts (tiddies and/or gore) and i get dirty looks from boomers and karens but nobody says anything to my face
just dont be a dyel because then it's cringe
Stop giving a fuck what other people think anon, otherwise you're ngmi
Simple Elegant Rustic
Cringe as fuck, if a guy tells me he unironically listens to metal he’s getting friendzoned
who cares if they get friendzoned by a man with long hair?
What about guys who only listen to video game soundtrack instrumentals
[insert gif of waterfall]
Damn maybe I should leave my basement more often
Why would you photoshop that head and forgot to add tits to the picture?
I'm unironically listen to metal. Yes. Even to power metal.
I wear them all the time (because why would I buy new t shirts) and I made a friend who also listens to black metal. Stop worrying about how you dress you flaming homo you aren't a squat girl looking to get mounted by a new gymrat you're just a guy lifting weights
metalheads of IST post your kvlt workout music go
I prefer unga bunga over kvlt these days
>pic unrelated
No, I’d probably talk to you and make friends
no one gives a fuck what you are wearing
Most black metal fans are twinks who wear makeup, so yes, it is exceptionally tryhard.
There are two requirements for it to be based.
>you gotta be fucking jacked
>you gotta rip the sleeves off
Bonus points if you wear sunglasses indoors with a bullet bandolier and switch your Bathory shirt for a Blasphemy shirt
