    I used to be a hater on white metal until I realized that’s the only way a lot of christian kids get to listen to metal. Shred on bros.

      This was me. Not all of it was yee yee jesus. A lot of ot can be more relatable, like overcoming adversity not necessarily with the help of a higher power, or expressing frustration at injustice. Even a decent amount of the god-fearing songs were subtle enough to be mistaken for love songs. I’m not religious, but it was nice to have the option in my household.
