Happy Metal Fun Time seems like a simple way to try and make you indie kids understand that your music sucks and you need to get angry about the world. It is not all fun. or filled with arctic monkeys - sometimes you have to realize that the world hates you just as much as you dream they do.  Die, hipster douches, die!

With that out of the way, in reality, most metalheads operate under the assumption that their music is widely accepted, while in many cases it is not because of attitudes, or commonly held sentiments like my lead in paragraph. The foundations of true metal fans are usually the same as any angst filled teen, but they alternatively turn to lashing out instead of brooding silence.

However, many "in the know" people have started grasping on to heavier music for a glimpse of the underground, or the alternative, or whatever from the usual fare, and they're realizing that some of this shit does kinda rock.  So, as the new resident Metal Guru, my first installment of HMFT features noisehipstersludgestonergrunge ... which is really just metal that seems to be making everyone happy over the last few months.
