I would go further and suggest that people who appreciate art at more than a social level (and I would say that applies to a greater or lesser extent to most people who enjoy non-mainstream artforms) do so because the art they enjoy resonates with them at a conceptual level.


Your capacity of typing, typing and saying/meaning nothing is amazing! You should start a new school on that, you'd get a lot of money.

Of course if, for instance, At Dawn They Sleep wouldnt have been about zombies/vampires/whatnot, it musically wouldnt have been as creepy. It's the whole package that makes it what it is.

If you're going to write a song about killing people, you're not gonna go for a polka song. It's gonna be full-on violence, as it should.

Funny, a guy who can't even spell "head" got it. Maybe if I took the time to put it into to Português you could hack it. I'm not going to though.

For their next trick, our'educationally advanced' anus invaders will feed us the line that music and politics are intrinsically linked...

One word sums that one up...BOLLOCKS.

Music and ideology, yes. The mistake is to reduce ideology to "politics."

I would not think you have a single clue of how to speak Português, or Español, or even English, as shown above.

English, or any language, for that matter, does not correct bad writing. That's a third thing for you to learn, then: agriculture, economy and how to write properly. But that last one will be difficult, I warn you: it requires talent, dunno if you have ever heard of it.

I think I argued this one before on Anus before I was banned, so here we go...

National Socialist Black Metal, as most know, is essentially a political ideology attached to an extreme form of music. Burzum is one example, though there are many others, Graveland, Thor's Hammer, ect. Just do a search, there are plenty of references.

However, what if a pop band, for instance, Westlife, wrote NS lyrics to their music? Would our National Socialist friends be so enthusiastic?

I've never had anything to do with the admin side of things there, so I don't know who banned you (to be honest, I don't even remember you posting on the forums, but I'm a pretty infrequent guest of the aether pub).

Even within the NSBM movement, you're talking about artists who are not so much concerned with politics as they are with outlook and mythos. I suppose the movement is political in the sense that in this world, any identification with Nazi iconography or mythology is an inherently political statement, but the political aspect is fairly peripheral. NSBM has a lot more to do with Evola and Nietzsche than it does with Hitler or Goering.

A better question is, if Westlife was into NS ideology, would they even desire to write pop music? (Though, I must confess, I don't actually know who Westlife is).

The man behind such stunningly inarticulate comments as, "Clearing agriculture is abandoned by most countries since 19th, or at most mid-20th century," ought not be casting aspersions on the literacy of anyone else.

I thought your business was running anus.com...

Anyway, any retard can access a translation site and do the job, why (just in case someone believes you have such skills, which you don't, since you don't even know how to write São Paulo properly) would anyone need your services?

Bankrupcy, bankrupcy...

Yes, posting on a forum means I run the website. I guess I run this site too, right?

Machine translation makes Portgua look fluent in English by comparison.

Simple, I'm not a português translator.

Hell, if i took lyrics the least seriously i would have killed myself way back in 1991 when i heard Confessor for the first time

Many Extremists in metal has great Environmental/Animal rights songs.

I noticed you're not a português translator. You don't seem to be the kind of person who has the necessary intelligence.

Intelligence isn't the problem, it's the lack of the necessary skills in português. I manage a staff of translators, my own "language" background is in Classics.

No. This is classic question evasion. The question is would a pop band be accepted by NS affiliates if they wrote NS lyrics into their music? Your 'perception' of what a better question might be is of no interest to me, and is pure diversion.

It depends entirely on the person, there are a lot of NS "affiliates," for instance who wouldn't have a damn thing to do with NSBM (and a lot of people who, like me, have little or no involvment with National Socialist politics who appreciate NSBM). Some would accept it, others wouldn't.

I'm not trying to divert the discussion out of spite or avoidance, I'd just rather move the discussion into more fertile territory.

Music is meant to be enjoyed with the mind. Otherwise, it's just entertainment. You might as well listen to Britney at that point.
