Societal alienation makes for the best art and metal is no exception. Metalheads trying to exclude someone for being different (NSBM excepted) have completely missed the point of the entire genre.
Shout out to Genital Shame and Lust Hag making excellent Transwoman Black Metal!
A lot of first wave and early norwegian black metal bands were essentially proto-NSBM. Nazis have been a part of black metal for as long as it’s been around. For a long while black metal had a reputation for being full of fascists
Yeah, some genres have a large segment of people who struggle to fit in with the mainstream. I’d like to think that they pick up something about social liberalism vs traditionalism from that, but there’s apparently also a significant segment who want as strict traditions as the mainstream, they just want somewhat different traditions.

Based take, I’ll have to give them a listen
I had never heard over NSBM (nazi black metal) before and am actually kinda shocked, this exists… Fuck them.

Thanks for the recs, I was recently looking for queer metal and found some stuff but not nearly the nearly enough…
