Encyclopaedia Metallum¹ just put out an interesting statement² on AI. Despite being in text, I have to make it an image because of character counts. One of the ironies of living in my SF future apparently.

@zdl They should update the saying "An image is worth a thousand words" to "An image for when you have to post 1000 words."

@jhaluska Well between the alt text (which got most of it) and the link, I guess the whole story can be easily found by those with vision problems.

Ever since @MetalheadDana tooted about the great yesterday, a question is bugging me ever since: how is undisputedly considered where e.g. is not?

The fundamental rule is: it must contain metal riffs.

Does that apply to ? There's not even guitars not to mention any riff?

Don't get me wrong, I love Mirror Reaper and I don't give a 💩 about genres, I was just wondering 🤔

@derthomas the labels dont matter, but I think they are useful not to correct people, but to explain. How do you describe bell witch without adding something to the funeral doom label. They don't sound like mournful congregation or skepticism so adding "experimental" or "avant garde" to funeral doom is helpful so fans of traditional funeral doom know it's different and more experimental.

It's not about one upmanship in my mind but explaining to fans who might want to give a listen

@MetalheadDana that makes sense! And in a genre with so many variations and styles it makes even more sense!

On the other hand, genre gatekeeping is often done by elitists to disrespect styles they don't like.

Like: Metalcore is not Metal (unspoken part: because I don't like it)

The same argument is used for Nu Metal and Hair Metal. That's 100% Metal if you ask me. Mostly crap, but Metal 🤣

Makes me wonder: why is something less good if it's not Metal?
