expecting metal nerds to know theory?
hahahahahaha

everything that's modal is non functional, so I think there's a lot of examples in metal. Riffs are mostly non functional
Wyatt Torres
doesn't a lot of popular music use non-functional harmony? I very rarely hear TPDT progressions anyway
Jeremiah Baker
Like, all of it
Jason Lewis
Depends on the subgenre.
Carson Rogers
Sorry, what? I thought nonfunctional meant not diatonic. Shouldn't most pop music, all written in one key with four chords, be diatonic?
How are modes nonfunctional?
Josiah Hill
Fairly sure Type O Negative makes heavy use of non-functional harmony. Getting out of metal, there are more than a few bands that make use of non-functional harmony, one in particular being The Beatles.
Ryan Cooper
nope. as the other user pointed out it depends on whether the chords have functions or if they are mere sound. I know that other people may define it differently, but I have the opinion that you can speak of non functional music if you're not treating certain tones as leading tones. In the end leading tones are responsible of the function a sound is given

So it's music that can't be categorized. It doesn't follow a distint key/progression and isn't like a borrowed chord. Correct?
