--Death Metal is for those seriously trying to overcompensate for myriads of insecurities; brought on by retribution for lack of social skills, never getting laid, and/or repeatedly getting their ass kicked.
Your thinking of emo black rock, or vamp music, some kind of "I wish i were dead" pop music because mommy and daddy don't listen to me.
Death metal is a bit more violent, more aggressive, and charged with I don't give a damn, I'll kick your pussy 80's tears for fears, best of the 80's music loving ass.
