Talk:Black metal fashion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does anyone actually dress like this? I've never seen "black metal fashion" outside of band photos. Dysfunktion 20:32, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

You don't live in a large city perhaps. Where I live, I see people dress like this nearly everywhere. More downtown than in the suburbs, but yeah, people do dress like this. --DarkPhoenix 11:40, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kvlt

I don't like how kvlt is redirected to this, since kvlt is a style of black metal, where the band is extremely underground, not the fashion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.121.191.127 (talk • contribs).

I thought it was strange that typing Kvlt redirected me to this page, but the article does explain Kvlt a little bit. There probably isn't enough information to give it its own article, so it'll probably do. Ideally though, the Kvlt article should feature nothing but a huge, black, empty space, with one grey sentence in the middle saying, "If you can read this, you don't deserve to know". ;) ~Inkiиgton (oi!) 17:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I removed the Kvlt information from this article. The article is about the fashion of the genere not about the genere itself. This information should be included in the black metal article or sent back into its own article.--Mattarata 23:56, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Please reintroduce the Kvlt information here as there are internal links that point to Kvlt, which redirects here (which is why I'm here). Otherwise it gets pretty confusing. Or, you could yank the redirect, leaving the rest as broken links. Zuiram 05:59, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kvlt

The word 'kvlt' is spawned out of the word "cult," and is often used on the internet to describe the most extreme black metal bands and their music. Examples of bands often labeled kvlt include Emperor, Darkthrone, Burzum, Bathory, Immortal, and 1349.

To qualify as kvlt, a band must typically produce extremely low-fidelity recordings (see Darkthrone's Transilvanian Hunger for a prime example of this) and record music as raw and primitive as possible. (In this respect kvlt black metal is not entirely unlike early punk rock). It is also preferable that the band originate from Scandinavia, although it has been applied to bands such as Deathspell Omega who do not.

The term kvlt was initially used unironically as a compliment, but due to a small but vocal minority (who are often referred to as "kvlt kiddies") in black metal's fanbase which disparages anything that deviates from the standard black metal template, it has increasingly been used in an ironic fashion. That said, it is worth noting that many bands which initially recorded "kvlt" black metal began to experiment wildly later in their careers, including the aforementioned Emperor, Bathory, Burzum, and Deathspell Omega."

[edit] Lebron's Lightning Lemonade

Stop deleting this out. Many bands have been known to enjoy this gum, it dosnt make it untrue if wikipedia shuns it from the world —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Major t milos (talk • contribs) .

OK. Start by finding a reliable source to this statement. Then I will stop considering that all black metal musicians chewing the same bubblegum is a load of nonsense.

The only problem with that is that a google search for "Lebron's Lightning Lemonade" "black metal" gets one single hit. So it looks like you're going to have a hard time finding a source to that information, and until then I will remove that information if anyone tries to add it.
