Description:
Well, the Happy Metal listeners are so retarded, therefore doesn't deserves any explanations



Unlike the traditional 80s’ German power metal or the contemporary American power metal, Happy Metal is characterized by the extensive use of keyboards and a male falseto vocal. Happy Metal is strongly influenced by classical (symphonic), medieval and/or renessaince music and can be described as melodic. The lyrics are inspired by legends, myths and fantasy literature and tell about warriors, virgins, dragons and swords, or another cliche statements like "life", "positivity" or "human being".

In the 90s, a subgenre of happymetal falsely labeled as “melodic death metal” began to rise, most notably in the Swedish city of Gothensuck. Bands of this genre retain the same gay instrumentation of happy metal, but use pseudo death metal vocals to disguise their gayness. Examples include : Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquility, The Haunted, Soilwork, In Flames and others.

Bands that have words such as “dragon” or “power” in their names or start with an A and end with -ia are very likely to belong to the happy metal genre. Most of them come from Italy, Finland or Sweden.

The genre name “GAY METALl” should not be considered ofensive or associated with homosexual people but rather serve as a useful mental shortcut for such concepts as “epic symphonic melodic neo-classical fantasy epic power metal”.

NOTE: some people tend to tag nu-metal or pop-rock bands they dislike as “gay metal” to ridicule them, but non-metal bands shouldn’t be tagged as metal.

Friends don't let friends listen bad music. Be our friend and we'll help you!

Well, Power Metal and Melodic Death Metal isn't Metal really, it's just a pseudo styles of Metal, called this for their "fast guitars" and gay-ish vocalization. Indeed, styles like Gothic Rock, inclusive Brit Pop are more mature, less gay-ish and have more to say than this child music.

Insist: Our group isn't a Metal group really, Metalheads SUCKS. People like Metal don't :)

    I agree though, sympho gaytarded "epic" fantasy metal is fucking stupid. And on another less serious note, I also agree that At the Gates is not metal, it's obviously pop rock.

    I stopped liking this group when I saw the stuff about melodic death. I find eighties power metal and all that woopiedoop stuff to be much happier then melodic death. In fact, melodic death isn't happy at all. Except if you're thinking about the gay cheery COB keyboards. COB sucks ass. This group could just as well be called "we only like abrasive untasteful metal and like yelling SLAYEERRRRRR!!!1!!11 at small children." Or something. Anyway, dis grup sukks koks.

    Such a fail group. And LOL @ charts, most members of this group listens to bands like System Of A Down, Korn and Slipknot, but mocks the German Power Metal bands.

    Also while you say melodeath is not metal,infact it is,the only genre that ain't metal is CORE and Nu Metal Teen angst mallcore garbage. [2]. This group is either the best troll in-joke ever, or is the highest concentration of FAIL I've witnessed in a long time.
