I'm thinking of the metal equivalent to this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_hardcoreIt came to me when this band came on my Pandora with this bio excerpt:
And that got me thinking, there's actually not much rebellious about hardcore music or the scene at all. It really only is rebellious at all if your parents are conservatives. I'm thinking of the "shock rock" music in the 70s and 80s and how this is the polar opposite. It's music by pretty normal looking people except they likely have a few more tattoos and piercings than average who are all AGAINST violence, and suicide, and disrespecting anyone. Now compare that message to say, early gangsta rap. Consider that this joke cover of
Baby Got Back was controversial for degrading and objectifying women. Hell you even have straightedge bands, meaning there are indeed bands with songs about how they DON'T drink or do drugs! Quite frankly it's almost an after school special-style message with mosh parts. There's country music that's edgier.
I'm thinking of some stuff Einzige posted on AAD, old style hardcore and thrash crossover with such a polar opposite message. It might be "all liberal, all the time", but it's the least rebellious or shocking liberalism possible, unless you are particularly bothered by profanity. Quite a stark contrast to even 80s punk music in that respect. I mean imagine the reaction of someone previously unaware that the modern day successors to the Dead Kennedys are a bunch of crying on stage people with SJW-style messages and hold fests with workshops about challenging masculinity.
But I kind of digressed. Is there any metal with a message like this? It's kind of funny how much it stands in stark contrast to death and black metal, shock rock, and hardcore gangsta rap, yet is so still strongly opposed to the same conservatives who hated that stuff.
