Both the music and the lyrics intend to evoke a sense of dread or impending doom, and often an atmosphere of despair. Read more…|Edit this Artist photo: EverEve

This tag is too general. More specific tags like traditional doom, funeral doom and death doom are more accurate.

Not to mention sleep and OM and other real doom metal. People are tagging doom metal on shit that doesn't even have any doom influences.
