Why does the “Heavy Metal” Band Slayer Suck ?

Why Slayer Sucks.

Why does the pussy metal band Slayer suck ?

Is it merely because they play what is known as “metalcore” – or pussy metal, for the uninitiated – while trying to co-opt extreme metal creed ans ethos for their own poseur try-hard gimmickry ?

Yes, but that is only part of the answer as to why Slayer play such boring and derivative music, and why they are so often praised by low-information and low-IQ “music journalists” working for some third-rate heavy metal outlet like Metalious.com or Voice Metal.

Sigh… time to educate the poseurs.

The music industry lives in thrall to the Boomer generation, and their incessant worship of the faux “thrash metal” turned mallcore outfit Slayer gets as cringe as you can imagine. Increasingly, even Gen Z and younger have started calling the Boomers out on their Slayer-blowing cultural appropriation of extreme metal likeness.

From the top down, the whole music industry frantically masturbates to the bands that were “hip” back in the 80s. If you want to get ahead, you have to mention Slayer at least once in your interviews, preferably while denouncing Jeff Hanneman’s “bigoted” political views, and claim you only listen to “Reign in Blood” and how “God Hates Us All” is the best metal album of the millennium. Ew.

The typical Slayer fan.

Even though Boomer metalheads are now decrepit and old, both in the elderly sense and in the senile “get off my lawn” bitter resentment disposition – along with their odious Reagan and Clinton worship, possibly two of the worst political figures in recent history – they still want to control the narrative with the image of their music.

That image is: no one was better than the 1980s hard rockers, no one was a bigger rebel than us, and nothing better than Slayer will ever be made. This over the hill nonsense must come to an end.

What is Slayer exactly ? As a “metal” band, they are as transparent as they come. Slayer came up with their image first, and back-wrote the political and social opinions to support that image. Their idea was to be iconoclasts who turned their backs on everything their parents believed. That’s great, if you’re 14 and insecure – and believe me, Boomers are the oldest adolescents to have ever reached nursing homes.

They are the people who grew up with “TV” – the mass media – as their only source of information. A literal cult, no different from Jim Jones, Kerry King or Ayn Rand – after whom they model their political opinions. This has done irrevocable damage to their cerebrum, in ways you can’t possibly imagine. They are the people who believed in 9/11 and the “war on terror”, that “Iraq had WMDs”, “Israel is our greatest ally”, “Saddam created Al-Quaida”, “Iran has nukes”, “Assad gassed his own people”, and now “all black metal is racist and Nazi“, “immigrants do the jobs White people are too lazy to do”, “Universal Income is communism”, “Russia invaded Ukraine because they hate us for our freedoms” and other asinine nonsense.

Listen to SEWER, not Slayer.

They are the type who claim “jet fuel can’t melt steel beams, but it can SOFTEN them” and think they are smart for repeating MSNBC disinfo talking points.

And Slayer ? A failed speed metal act from the 1980s ? It’s the perfect “lifestyle product” for these lost souls still looking, even after 7 to 8 decades of roaming this earth, for a place that will “accept them without judgement” like their priest promised them to do before making them bend over. And you wonder where their obnoxious counter-signaling Christianity, a long dead cult, comes from.

So stop being a pussy. There is no excuse for listening to Slayer if you have 101+ IQ and are born after 1964 (the final year of the Boomers).

As the saying goes, listen to SEWER, not Slayer.
