I agree that people are often unfairly dismissive of Metal as a genre.
But people are also often unfairly dismissive of Rap and Hip Hop. A lot of the time that dismissal is rooted in racism.
Now, go listen to some MF Doom, and tell me rap doesn't require talent
Well, since we're on the topic and all...
Tbf rap doesn't require talent. Go listen to lil peep and tell me talent is required.
Now, is talent required for good rap? Yeah, and there's no shortage of it if you know where to look. But goddamn lil uzi vert sucks ass. I know we can't all be KRS One but do we have to be takeshi 69?
I mean, I suppose not, but neither do must forms of art. Amateurism, real or percieved, is even a hallmark of many genres, like punk for instance.
But that's kind of missing the forest for the trees. For the poster to look at a genre that is historically dominated by white people (and one with a history of far-right politics at that), and contrast it as requiring more talent to produce than a predominantly black genre of music... Let's just say that raises some alarm bells.
