What the hell has prince to do with Deafheaven?

You forgot all the "it's all a matter of taste" or "your opinion lol" lines.

Well, Deafheaven is not metal, but post-rock with black metal influences. If you don't like metal and like Deafheaven, you're not going to find the qualities you enjoy in metal songs because they differ greatly.

You may disagree on the genre tags, but this guy is right. I would search rather post-rock than black metal as you might be disappointed otherwise.

It's not quite the same but Ghost Bath tends to follow in a similar style with more DSBM-ey elements.

Black Metal is about worshiping Satan, death and suicide. Deafheaven is none of these things.

Outstanding argument.

You could point at the style of bm and how irrelevant the context is. Or you could post another gif.

This dude >>1073 is not me >>1050

You're clearly not a metal fan because you can't tell the difference. Blastbeats are not metal exclusive: jazz, grindcore (both metal oriented and punk oriented), hardcore and nu metal (yeah, nu metal is not metal) use blastbeats at times. They originate in jazz, actually. Neither are screamed vocals metal exclusive, I hope I don't have to explain this one. Lyrics? Haha, don't make me laugh, it's as post rock as it gets!:

>I held my breath and drove through a maze of wealthy homes. I watched how green the trees were. I watched the steep walkways and the white fences. I gripped the wheel. I sweated against the leather. I watched the dogs twist through the wealthy garden. I watched you lay on a towel in grass that exceeded the height of your legs. I gazed into reflective eyes. I cried against an ocean of light.
>Crippled by the cushion, I sank into sheets frozen by rose pedal toes. My back shivered for your pressed granite nails. Dishonest and ugly through the space in my teeth. Break bones down to yellow and crush gums into blood. The hardest part for the weak was stroking your fingers with rings full of teeth...
>It's 5 A.M...and my heart flourishes at each passing moment.
>Always and forever.

You'd be hard pressed to find that in metal. The status quo is not always right, most people have no idea about what's the difference between death metal and deathcore, and you expect them to label an adventurous, experimentative band such as Deafheaven correctly? Deafheaven is a post rock/shoegaze band with black metal influences. Since they're not the only one band to play such a style of music (Alcest and Altar of Plagues come to mind), a new genre term has been invented for bands like Deafheaven: Blackgaze, a portmanteau of black metal and shoegaze. Having metal elements does not mean it's metal.

The requirement to be classified as metal is to have the majority of your songs composed of metal riffs. All other things are just fancy additions that can possibly modify your genre tag. Metal riffs are melody based. A melody "is a linear succession of musical tones that the listener perceives as a single entity". That means the melody has to be the focus of the riff, and that semi-random chromatic movements like Cannibal Corpse also count. Hardcore riffs are rhythm based - that means the rhythm is the focus of the riffs. They are also rare, as hardcore oriented bands opt for breakdowns and other such completely amelodic movements.

Now, what I'm coming to, is that the riffs of Deafheaven are neither rhythm nor melody based - they are texture based, common to post-rock, shoegaze and all kinds of ambient bands. This means that to the musicians, it does not matter what exactly is played, but how it sounds in the end, as opposed to extreme autistic intricacy of metal bands.

I'm not going to convince you like other /mu/ hipsters and Revolver readers, but I like to sperg out about music genres.

As a note, metal bands tend to loop their riffs a few times, and a riff is generally a looped movement in itself. Post-rock based bands like Deafheaven rarely come back to a riff, just move forward and not repeat what they've just played.

Are you? The world we're looking at may be in 3d, but what we're looking at is merely 2d images flipped upside down. Do I need to give someone a lesson on anatomy, physics and biology?

Because if so, I'm ready for the most serious of discussions you'll ever witness on /mu/. Unless we start discussing haplogroups that is.

My forte is music so it is unlikely unless you find some sort of geneticist.

Yes, it is not actually the other dimensions, but are you not seeing it? No, you can't be in it but it is perceivable.

Without getting to complicated then.

The perspective is still from a two dimensional point of view because that's how we perceive visual information. In two dimensions, it's impossible for us to VISUALLY perceive something in ACTUAL three dimensions or four purely because we have to be able to look at all of the angles of interest to do so. The visual in that GIF is merely a guide to help us out with the admittedly abstract idea of what a different dimensional "space" would look like.

Just to make you understand, a one dimensional individual would only be able to visually perceive objects in 0 dimensions, a two-d individual in one, a three-d in two, a four-d in three and so forth.
