From Poland all the way to Turkey metal seems to be more popular in the West. Why is that the case?

normies in Poland don't listen to Burzum for fun
its just that the autists in these countries are very much right wing, but in the West we also have left wing autists

>why are eastern Europeans less westernized?

black sabbath is not metal, it's just boomer rock with some mild distortion
Jason Morris
really don’t think it is at least for ex soviet places
gf is eastern european and won’t touch anything that isn’t classical or ambient, from the others i’ve met only liking classical (and a bit of pop) is usual there
Daniel Butler
They love Metal in Mexico, Central and South America as well.

How did this happen? Is it a result of Soviet/Warsaw Pact governments banning most rock and roll music, so several generations grew up listening to only classical?
Connor Moore
Actually, it started out as Jazz, but progressed into Metal through the years.

soviet/warsaw pact education was good, so yes it is partly true.
I met a Lithuanian qt once and her childhood memories were watching Ingmar Bergman movies on the tv at night, while I was force-fed shitty commercials that make my childhood memories

You're right they should listen to what V thinks is cool. Onion rock and rap, kpop, soundcloud rappers, shoegaze, boring nerd ass prog rock.
Eli Long
it didn't, he's lying
rural and working class people listen to folk or pop-folk, while middle class people will listen to pop, rock or electronic
Juan Sanders
too bad they like shitmeal and not the listenable kind
Landon Rodriguez
What led you to believe this? Germany and Finland are the biggest markets for metal in Europe.
Evan Torres
>listenable kind
Like what? Name a few bands.
Turkey is NOT European. Also it's not really popular. Sure, plenty of my friends listen to it, but it's far from the norm.
Evan Cruz
based and ironmanpilled
Sebastian Anderson
Metallica, etc the list goes on
Christian Evans
Metallica is shit. If you want good 80's thrash, there's Sodom, Kreator, Hellhammer and Celtic Frost, early Bathory, Venom.
Logan Thompson
Most people i know don't like people who listen to "rock" . They say rock thought it's actually metal . Traditional music is very important here and not listening to it is seen as strange . So a lot of people who listen to metal/rock get made fun of .
I only know 1 dude who only listens to metallica and nothing else and everybody takes jabs at him. Rap is pretty mainstream tho.
t.eastern european who grew up in the countryside

All of those bands are great. Metallica is too. You don't like Metallica because they were successful in the industry. I am sick to death of you trve faggots. Everybody you like to listen to worships Metallica. People can enjoy music. I don't need to hear le obscure brutal/slam/grind record that nobody cares about.
Lincoln Stewart
no clue what those other bands are
forgot to mention iron maiden also
Thomas Gomez
what motive do i have to lie
Lucas Campbell
I tried to get into Metallica, but it never trully clicked. I remember when I bought Kill 'em All, I listened to four songs, but eventually I turned it off and played some Ulver. It was a strange feeling because I love thrash, but I struggled to get into Metallica and I faild. Same goes for Radiohead, if it matters.
It's the debut album the one I enjoy the most, for some reason. Bruce is great, unlike Metallica, it kinda clicked, though it's not what I would listen to for too long, maybe once in afew months because I get bored of other bands.
I also have bad memories with people telling me how much they love Maiden when they would see me. All of them were girls, go figure it out.

hah faggot
Grayson Bennett
i dont know
but the notion that eastern europeans listen to classical is hilarious. classical was always the genre for the upper classes while regular people listen to folk and nowadays pop, rap etc.
Gavin Morales
>Eastern Europe
>Turkey
James Cook
Because they have highest test than most western soiboy faggots
Isaiah Ramirez
theyre 30 years behind the rest of europe culturally
Evan Perry
Big difference between "I don't care for Metallica" and "Metallica is shit". Sine that's clarified, fair enough. It's not for everyone.
Jose Allen
What's the best European country to move if I want a metalhead bf? uwu i was thinking maybe Germany or any Scandinavian country would be good
Mason Diaz
Absolutely, that's why there aren't still trannies and faggots roaming free on the streets of Moscow
Isaiah Hernandez
To add, I look at it more about what Metallica did for metal as a whole. Its hard to look back but Thrash as a gene had a sound that Metallica put more of a songwriting focus to. People to this day still copy Slayer and admit it. Id add Celtic Frost specifically to that in terms of influence. Those other bands are great, but nobody is looking back holding them as pushing Metal forward.
