Nah but the winners get opportunities to make their own music so it's not the exact same thing true

I only really count Hybrid Theory as nu-metal tbh and I feel like nu-metal's in a weird position of being culturally relevant for the later parts of the 90's and the first couple years of the 2000's so I don't think there's any nu-metal band that could be as defining as say Pantera, Sepultura or Mayhem for the 90's or Opeth, Mastodon, Meshuggah or Killswitch could be for the 2000's where they had generational runs of acclaimed albums

True but there's a lot of regularly running song contest shows like X-Factor and The Voice also I mean the whole UK Wales and Scotland included

If Chudspas makes a metal album I'll stop being a hater

Deffo the UK

Spawned the entirety of modern pop songwriting, some of the most influential rock bands ever, created metal, goth and punk music which are the foundations of alternative music nowadays

The Imagine Dragons of people who desperately want to come off as "alternative"

70's - Black Sabbath
80's - Metallica
90's - Pantera
00's - Opeth
10's - Periphery
20's - Archspire (I REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE SLEEP TOKEN AS METAL NO I WON'T DO IT YOU WON'T MAKE ME AHHHHHHHHHHH)

I left for like a week and I come back to a civil war what the sigma

Wolf cut or shaggy mullet?

Just saying retarded nonsense or insulting people on the internet and calling it a hobby holy unemployed

Guy with no flair btw

Bro too scared of his favourite team getting made fun of

K-pop gotta be the goofiest music genre cuz ain't no way you're seriously telling me boardrooms of mfs with marketing degrees churn out all the music with nothing in mind but mass appeal and the actual band barely writes any of it and people actually think it's good

Avenged Sevenfold - City Of Evil
Children Of Bodom - Something Wild
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Carcass - Heartwork
Metallica - Ride the Lightning
System Of A Down - Toxicity
My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
At The Gates - Slaughter Of the Soul

Lowkey if they lean hard into Johnny Blaze's desperation and make him out to be a miserable loner who would make a deal with the devil, Ryan Gosling might be THE perfect casting. I've always liked the idea of him as Ghost Rider

Brother ts so ass

Mfs have one of the greatest lead guitarists alive and release a whole EP of just synths, digital drums and vocode effects

Why has my favourite band not made anything good since 2016? Is this a psy-op?

Idk if we got the same level of aura as 2000's Iron Maiden and be a 3 guitar band + no one else got drum experience

Ty broski I can lowkey carry the whole band just playing the Enter Sandman riff and nothing else

My dad bought me an electric guitar and I started learning guitar, my friends tell me they wanna start a band, then tell me they already have 2 guitarists. Now I gotta buy a drum kit cuz I played drums for like a year as a kid smh my head

💀

m4 was whimsical and fun and produced multiple iconic copypastas

I think we both know who wins

Blud has NOT seen 2000's Opeth

Dictator aspas is going to send Verno in first just to watch him get bukkake'd by the ENVY defence and then jiggle main for 50 seconds with an op before saving, truly the aspas way

Tbh I just started cuz my friends are dragging me

Yeat is NOT tuff broski

Getting first named on vlr ain't no way

Does ts go hard or nah?

Insanely based MCR glaze

My current favourite atm tho is probably either Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold or Corporal Jigsore Quandry by Carcass

Is Sepultura a household name that even your grandma will know about in Brazil in the same way Metallica, Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden are or is it confined to just metal fans like most other famous metal bands?

Nah Rust In Peace fs

Gotta be Super Hans from Peep Show no?

NiKo already got his major, no more good things to happen in Bosnia for another 30 years unfortunately

Granted globeX could always do a bit of trolling and swap his flag back to Polish and destroy GX

Shouldn't pick kamyk, breaks the sacred more than 3 Poles rule

Skegness clears all

Now this is truly something beautiful

Assmolestia gone, my life is so good

Only thing that could make it worse is if Saudi wins world cup

2 storied teams who had their breakout years in 2024, replaced crucial players in 2026, climbed to the top of their regions and won stage 1

Then bombed out in terrible fashion

Frauds together strong, RieNs and trent mpreg baby is real and shall come to fruition as the perfect Valorant player

Fuck this chungus esport btw I have never actually liked a team who won

Can’t wait for my team to go on a lower bracket run and lose in finals for the glory of the CCP and Zmjjkk to mog aspas in terms of achievements

G2 underperform compared to expectations after a pre tourney patch throws off their playstyle

EMEA first seed gets last pick and goes to the lower bracket

PRX looking like the best team in the tournament

Chinese team guarantee in the upper final

This is just Toronto again, you can’t fool me rito

Ik it's bait but this is unironically the type of shit people will say before turning around and drooling and clapping their hands at 10 minutes of ads for every minute of actual gameplay and a halftime music performance more important than the actual event that is the Super Bowl

The battle for Champs slots at EMEA is genuinely gonna be brutal

FUT, VIT and TH are all looking hot in London, FNC are by far the best team left out of the tournament and are gonna have Veqaj back for Stage 2, EF are still gonna look scary and if they keep up with FUT like they were regionally then we know their style can work internationally, M8 revamp is looking scary at EWC and they're getting Proxh back in, daddy nAts is still owed his singular win on the international stage and they don't have wayne dragging them down anymore

EMEA Stage 2 is gonna be cinema

Unfortunately G2 are genuinely allergic to letting anything funny happen

Allg shrike, just cheer for TH and PRX to goon on Gold2 to feel better about it

We already don't hear the end of it from APAC fans

Only thing that'll shut them up atp is PRX 0-2 and the classic Pacific shit the bed at Champs

We just gotta dodge PRX and we win

We've never beaten PRX and quite frankly idk if we can this event, if LEV beat them then the run becomes VIT LEV and then (presumably) G2 and they're in finals, actually an incredibly doable run, G2 and VIT are incredibly familiar opponents and TH have the experience diff over LEV

Feels like he's been part of basically every good Chinese team not named EDG (and ig Trace and 2023 BLG)

He was on 2024 FPX who actually managed to make some waves with their performance in Shanghai

He was on Wolves during their Toronto run

And now he's on the best performing version of XLG we've ever seen internationally

GIGA BANGER GAME, XEUS ACTUALLY SAVED THEM SO HARD

Once again I ask, trent and RieNs mpreg son given Leo stem cells in the womb, baptised by Sacy and babysat by crashies and Boaster every weekend

OR

KROSTALY but the only map in Valorant is Haven
