you first
Swans is nu male
Nu males are attracted to hypermasculinity to make up for their insecurity of lack of masculinity
See. Death grips
...
...
Swans is Sup Forums-male as fuck what are you talking about?
wow, that hit hard
...
How is Death Grips 'hypermasculine'? It's just some nig nog yelling on overrated meme-techno beats, right?
Oh yeah, flex your muscles, big strong men.
>Brian Johnson AC/DC
step aside
(none of which understand Swans is mocking them)
>t. doesn't know what a nu-male is
Nu-males hate anything remotely aggressive. They're the kind of guys who cover their ears when an ambulance goes by.
See: , he's shaken by the very image of an intense record
lel. Lyndon has always sounded like a fucking granny.
art wankery of the worst kind

this or any other manowar

>art wankery of the worst kind
Oh, yes, the ones who were responsible for the birth of a genre that took music back to its infancy actually decided to do something with the genre and push it forward. They should've continued playing 4 chords per song, right?

You literal retard,
you, somehow, on a music board,have zero understanding of the no-wave scene or Swans. You listened to 80s Swans and somehow thought it was praising masculinity, rather than being a complete and total nihilistic mocking of it.
"Stupid snake
Big strong boss
Break my back
Blood runs black"
You heard this and thought it was literal? You heard this and thought, "yeah fucking nu-males assblasted!"
Why?
Because you're an manchild faggot who has no understanding of art beyond Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
But who cares about critical thinking and interpretation of art? I mean, it sounds le loud and has angry man so it straight up KILLS LE NU-MALE KEK! right?
Off yourself
music is inherently feminine. pic related is true nu-male repellent
>Because you're an manchild faggot who has no understanding of art beyond Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Jesus, take it easy there, tough guy ;)
Any outlaw country for sure. When's the last time you saw any nu-male unironically listen to Waylon Jennings or Merle Haggard?
>scraggly name
>big dark cover :'(
Ohhh I'm scared
Does the white man who no doubt made this album scream really angrily with guitars tunes a full step down? dang...that's pretty freakin manly
Isn't it funny how numales never deny it?
NSBM is nu-metal replant
youtube.com
Looks like a 4 year old drew that.
yeah Vomir goes hard af
oh wow, this what a real man must listen to
Uh oh, did the big strong man get upset I made him look like the retard he is?
Maybe he could use some nice entry level shame tactics like posting a laughing reaction pic (while staring dead faced with blue light) or calling meanie names :(
I'm scared go easy on me,
you can get your fill when you win
you'll win when you put me in my place right?
shut the fuck up nu-male. I know you just shit your pants.
Damn, you got me. You win!
I'm a nu male and I can confirm I was so scared by this!!!
Yeah, I really do haha
...
Liberals hate Lana thoug
...
oooo look at you, mr big man here
>cover their ears when an ambulance goes by
is this the result of some free associative attempt to make an analogy? I do this because I am paranoid I will lose 1 db of hearing. when I had rockbox on my sansa I noticed I had it on like -24 after lots of loud listening instead of -33 after a break so even a few seconds of sirens could potentially impact your hearing.
the fact that some 80 year old man slipped in his bathtub and fractured his skull and then went to bed and didn't call an ambulance until next morning when his neck swelled up doesn't actually bother me at all. neither do the wrinkly folds of skin hanging off his tricep. can you all that loose skin oozing around the blood pressure cuff?
Take a deep breath. It's ok, buddy. We know, we know.
your a dorable
nu-male isn't a thing. if you're talking about skinny white dudes with hipster haircuts and Burberry specs then I know a fuckton who listen to Swans and Death Grips and hardcore music. of the people I know who would get slapped with a "nu-male" label by the insecure legion of this board or Sup Forums, they actually listen to a disproportionate amount of what you'd probably call "nu-male kryptonite" compared to people who wear baseball caps and go to tailgates.
If you wanted to post music that virgin socially awkward guys are repelled by, post EDM or anything that's on the Spotify Viral 50 or Drake or something. Listening to hard music doesn't make most people think you're sexually desirable or cool, if anything it gives them the opposite impression.
...
you clearly don't know what a nu-male is
then enlighten me, socrates
t. nu-male
Grow up numales
Manowar is kryptonite to anyone with taste.
This
I cannot enlighten you. Transcend the ego. Only you have the power to.
>When's the last time you saw any nu-male unironically listen to Waylon Jennings
One nu male's reaction to Waylon Jennings.
Ladies Love Outlaws [RCA Victor, 1972]
Waylon lets you know he has balls by singing as though someone is twisting them. C
Lonesome, On'ry and Mean [RCA Victor, 1973]
I can't say for sure whether it's him or me, but Waylon doesn't sound anywhere near so . . . strained this time out. Maybe it's just "Sandy Sends Her Best," as powerful a song about the guilty good will on the hurting side of a breakup as you'll ever hear. Still a touch or four melodramatic, though. B
Nu-males are liberals. Liberals do not like music created by alleged rapists, ipso facto Swans are nu-male kryptonite.
i did actually laugh so points there. seriously, though, if what i described isnt "nu-male" then what is? like what are the essential characteristics of a nu-male?
it's a specific type of beta male that orbits around women despite never getting laid, spout neo-progressive politics on social media thinking they're making a difference, and participate in video game and internet meme culture (like facebook and reddit normalfag memes). also commonly have a manchild mentality and sport a beard to mask their weak jaw.
unfortunately the term has been devalued by posters here who basically use it to describe anyone they don't like
Ultimate Waylon Jennings [RCA Nashville/BMG Heritage, 2004]
Beyond "outlaw," nobody ever specifies what Jennings does and doesn't do with his strained, resonant, masculine baritone--his "Me and Bobby McGee" is uglier than Kristofferson's. But on sure shots you can forgive him his pain. Highlights include the belated "Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out of Hand" and the wounded "The Taker," a Kris Kristofferson gem about a lady some other slimeball done wrong. For those who think BMG's title-by-title reissue program makes less sense than the Black Sabbath box (although I've Always Been Crazy sounds sane enough).
Subjects for Further Research [1970s]: "Waylon lets you know he has balls by singing as though someone is twisting them," I wrote about the self-serving "Ladies Love Outlaws" in 1972, and although I've softened some--actually enjoy him when Willie's there to cut the grease--his macho melodrama will always rub me the wrong way. Allow me this prejudice. His admirers speak fondly of 1975's introspective, Jack Clement-produced Dreamin' My Dreams, cut before his stance became a marketing procedure.
Distinctions Not Cost-Effective [1980s]: Once you loved him or hated him. No more.
everyone i know who listens to swans is liberal af, swans themselves are liberal af, i mean they're literally satirizing the idea of masculinity and societally venerated violence
I don't know. Not the one who replied to your original comment, but probably someone who uses the word, "nu-male" unironically.
desu its just smart to grow a beard if you have a weak chin, i can't begrudge them that. in general i feel like beta male is kind of a meaningless distinction, tho, like the guys i know who get laid the most are not the most traditionally "alpha" at all. even the dude in your pic has obviously gotten laid if he's with his wife giving birth, cringey as the pokemon thing may be.
either way, doubt it correlates much to music. If anything, maybe /r/music-tier classic rock and stuff like that?
...
So essentially nu male just means beta + hipster?
...
see
nu-male detected
>even the dude in your pic has obviously gotten laid if he's with his wife giving birth
look at the child again
If Michael Gira wanted to be anti-masculine he was doing a shit job of it. Like mocking wall street by being a successful cut-throat trader who fucks people over his whole life.
Sounds childish
basically i guess so, it's like a more socially adept /r9k/er
early swans records are an indictment of traditional ideas of masculinity
...
Have you seen how he performed in the 80s?
youtu.be
looks photoshopped to me. either way tho idk how this would connect with music taste at all
3:38
this unironically
nu-males listen to basically whatever pitchfork or another trendy pop culture taste-making website says is good to appear "hip" and contemporary to others.
so basically the same albums Sup Forums circlejerks
I don't think it has much to do with traditional masculinity at all. Traditional masculinity is not corporate greed, rape and flagrant abuse of power.
...
I think your example is wrong,
I think that the typical music leftist nu-male would like swans and would try to act "I'm very different than the rest of the people! stop listening to mainstream listen to swans!!" with a fedora and a black shirt with the death grips logo.
It's not against masculinity in the individual sense.
It's masculinity in relation to authority, exploitation, and posturing.
how convenient, a way to lambast people who like acclaimed albums. the people who actually act as you describe and listen to only p4k-approved shit are a white whale, though, I've never actually met anyone like that. I know like 15 people who unironically love ITAOTS and they're all very different people, none of them are what you've described at all
>hmm, what can i say that will trigger as many people on this board as possible
yeah congratulations, you figured out where you are.
is this album not literally on the nu male metal chart?
literally all music made before the year 2000
i swear on my life that wasn't b8. if you disagree with me explain why
your problem is extrapolating the tastes of the socially awkward virgins on Sup Forums (of which there are a lot, i know) to every last one of them.
