Are you me?! I've hated them since all the Napster shit back in the day and always turned the radio when "Mandatory Metallica" would come on. I'd rather sit in silence.

Then they did everyone a favor and made music after the Black Album that was absolute garbage. Load & Reload we're both Loads of shit... pun intended.

Hell yeah baby. I love when current slang is just referencing mid 2000s memes only weirdos on 4chan knew about.

Wow, I didn't know Mandatory Metallica was a thing, I just thought the local DJ really liked them.

I still rock out to Master of Puppets but I think bad things about James Hetfield afterwards

have you listened to "Torturing James Hetfield" by Chumbawamba? It's pretty amusing!

Is it any of these?

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Their post-black-album shittiness predates the Napster idiocy by 4 years. They went to shit before they shot themselves in the foot.

I still think Master of Puppets is a fantastic album though.

Mandatory Metallica

was this just a Milwaukee 102.9 (if I remember right) thing or also in other regions??

[–] Tower@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days ago

Basically every rock and roll radio station has it

They did something else too, it's on the edge of my memory, ugh, in the last 5 years, something they said, oh that's going to bother me all day till it randomly pops in my head later (at 3am).

Ffs is this the reason why I get along with so many folks on the fedi?

This needs to be researched fully.

Did napster directly lead to the fediverse? Brave researchers, begin!

[–] crazycraw@crazypeople.online 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

well I'm here because fuck spez and reddit. I was relatively unaware of fediverse and activity pub. ...but somehow totally aware of how slow matrix is going.

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 1 points 6 days ago

I mean me too, I'm talking core though.

The kind of people who would get pissed off about reddit like with the apicalypse are the same kind of people who would get mad about metallica and napster, don't you think?
