Today I learned that Anglo metal bands put random umlauts on letters because they look "cool".
>Among English speakers, the use of umlaut marks and other diacritics with a blackletter typeface is a form of foreign branding intended to give a band's logo a Teutonic quality—connoting stereotypes of boldness and brutality presumably associated with Germanic and Nordic cultures. Its use has also been attributed to a desire for a "gothic horror" feel
>When Mötley Crüe visited Germany, singer Vince Neil said the band couldn't figure out why "the crowds were chanting, Mutley Cruh! Mutley Cruh!"
>The British speed metal-band Tröjan causes ridicule in Swedish, as the umlaut changes the meaning from the intended Trojan into the the much more mundane "The jumper"
I know that metal is a low IQ genre but are these people mentally disabled or something? They unironically think that a pair of fucking dots make them look like "fearsome Germanic warriors". And then they actually get confused when people pronounce these letters as they are to be pronounced. Do Anglos legit think that we use umlauts for some kind of effect? To show that we are Germanic?
Ffs, how would you even function properly in society if you're this fucking stupid?
