I loll'd, why is black metal ever discussed here? And I have no problem listening to both, and its iterations. Hell, I used to be black metalhead when I was younger, and used to be goth later on <,< I for one have no problem with either genre, they all have their own merits and nothing in common. And as much as synthpop is concerned, I find futurepop better for my taste overal, but Wolfsheim is one of my favorite bands of all time.

Sunkencorpse bring the subject blackmetal, and some others wrote back... and so I just couldn't resist sharing my thoughts. Synth pop is great and we should merge this tag with synthpop

black metal fucking sucks and is for "rebellious" teenage simpletons and sometimes listeners are just homophobic brain damaged faschists.

dont tell me your saying black metal is goth. There is no other way you could have come to the conclusion he 'was' a goth. '_' !! Black metal is the shit you have to force yourself to listen to. (seriously not goth). Synthpop is the great style of music that everyone can love. It's respectable and bloody fantastic . No arguin ta !!! (debates or challenges welcome) xx <3 <3
