      The toxic masculinity and obsession with purity seems more apparent in the metal community to me. There's also more nazis and murderers.

        Yeah. I’ve always felt detached from the scene because of it. I rarely even buy merch to support bands because the symbolism reflects those shitty values. Let alone hang with em.

      Hardcore at times trys to play up an almost cultish fervor tied to practically nothing.
