RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017
The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.
If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.
To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.
I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.
I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.
I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.
I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.
Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.
Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.
Quote:no what's killing metal now is that deathcore shit.
Quote:I like deathcore, but the people in deathcore bands look like either wiggers or idiots. I also hate the scene kids that listen to it and say it's death metal(putting Vader and Bring Me the Horizon in the same catagory is an insult). Listen to All Shall Perish and then listen to Vader or Morbid Angel. Those sound nothing alike.
If you want to see the real insult to metal, watch this(WARNING: ear rape):
The new Morbid Angel album (I think release date is tomorrow?) looks like complete shit...
Watch on YouTube
MY EARS. It feels like someone's sticking rubber fist on them.
Some bands I currently like:
1349
Amon Amarth
Blitzkrieg
Bloodbath
Death
Dismember
God Macabre
Iron Maiden
Judas Priest
Morbid Angel
Opeth
Slayer
Sodom
I tend to just stick with a few bands... too lazy to try to appear kvlt and tr00 by knowing about thousands of bands.

To be an anarchist, is to suffer greatly. To be a black woman is to suffer secretly. To be the earth, is to suffer silently.
I wish no harm on anyone, but those whose harmful ways will not stop without the same harm.
It's time we kill this cancerous system, before it kills us and everything left of gaia. Rise from our immaturity and take back our autonomy!

Faby Wrote:Eluveitie is pure win; I recommend you listen to all their albums, and try the song "Minion."
I already have all their albums, and have listened to minion (along with all their other songs) many, many times. And am patiently waiting to see what their next album will be.

I'd like most melodic death metal a lot more if it wasn't for the high pitched shrieking, which makes me want to rip my ears off, though I know it's a personal thing and all of that. Second one is pretty cool though.
I'm so sad that AC/DC is disbanding, Malcolm is one of my heroes and He's sick now.
I like Black Veil Brides, Judas Priest, Nile, Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Killswitch Engage, Trivium, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne/Blizzard Of Ozz, Black Label Society, Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Anthrax, Dio, Rainbow, Led Zeppelin, Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, Mushroomhead, Death, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Skid Row, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, Linkin Park, Ratt, Kiss, Scorpions, Def Leppard, etc

Please elaborate.
The bands highlighted in bold aren't metal but more rather modern hard rock that falsely markets itself to make money "speak to the teenage outcast". They mostly make their money off of the parents of 21st century teenagers "people who are rebelling against mainstream pop music" and the music videos normally highlight first world problems, such as breaking up with a 13 year old girl and then throwing vases around your bedroom "the deep issues of modern society".
They tend to play emo and nu metal circlejerks "real festivals" such as Download and Warped Tour, as too many real metal fans and bands "haters" go to places such as Bloodstock and Sonisphere for them to handle it.

Hoo boy, Ramm. You ARE defiant...
Killswitch and Trivium are FOR SURE metal
Slipknot is unclassifiable sludge rock
Mushroomhead is unclassifiable
Linkin Park is Electro Rock with a hint of Rap and Screamo
BVB are an interesting glamcore band
Anaal Nathrakh is impossible to enjoy...I've tried listening to Pandemonic Hyperblast but my ears are too snooty T_T

List of metal with instrumentals that'd slice your soul but without any vocal(or absolutely minimal. Deep growling voices or chanting of sort is acceptable. Screeching at the top of their lungs is not. I don't think humans possess the capacity to make a decently powerful screech)?

Killswitch Engage and Trivium are both metalcore - being a fusion genre, any band who fits into this category without also fitting into another subgenre are disputable as to metal status.
Slipknot has always seemed to me like nu metal (without the hip hop influence) and then alternative rock for some choruses, again disputable. I am skeptical you even know what "sludge rock" is, you've also said Slipknot cannot be classified, and then you classify them as sludge. Nu metal being a fusion genre, its status is again disputed.
I wouldn't classify Mushroomhead as metal.
Linkin Park using occasional screamed vocals wouldn't qualify them as screamo unless they also met such a classification musically, which they don't. Screamo is a subgenre of emo, and not linked to metal.
Glamcore? Never heard such terminology before. Every BVB song I've heard sounds like either post-hardcore, or full on pop rock.
And where does Anaal Nathrakh come into this?
