Youtube Metal vid's

I like goth metal like Paradise Lost,My Dying Bride ,Moonspell,Darkseed,Crematory,Theatre Of Tragedy,Tristania,Evereve....mostly the old stuff from these bands .
And I simply must say that i'm greatly anoyed that poser bands Like Within Temptation,Epica and Lacuna Coil,Evanescense how so much views compared to the true goth bands .The "fans" of these bands are only praising physcial apperance and the sometimes the pathetic lyrics ...Truely this is one of the thing that makes me hate life.(i'm noth a goth kid or something )Of course this problem occurs generaly in all genres of music but in goth it simply pisses me of .
What do you think about these ?

There's nothing wrong with the bands you mentioned, they put out good stuff too. Why would what other people are watching get you worked up anyway? Just let them watch what they want, it's not like youtube videos are going to force any bands to close up shop and go away.

Btw the bands you mentioned really don't pretend to be hardcore goth bands.... they're viewed more as rock bands and are classified as such.

Probably because Goth is a small cult made up of people who wear oversized boots and don't wash their hair, whereas bands like Evanescence cater to the slightly emo-oriented mainstream.

The "fans" of these bands are only praising physcial apperance and the sometimes the pathetic lyrics ...

You are entitled to your opinion, but don't you dare tell me what I think. Evanescence in particular are one of my favourite bands, i like their music. I don't even watch their videos. And let's compare some of those lyrics shall we?:

"Call thy name at nightfall
Reach out for thee life's rose
Cast thy veils at sunset
Trespass the waning in my halls
Prosperous beauty
Embraced by Eden's heart
Call thy name out tearful
Reveal to me thy deepest loss"

"How can you see into my eyes
like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb.
Without a soul,
my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold,
until you find it there, and lead
it back home."

Some would call the first a poser who thinks he's Geoffry Chaucer, who should let out his angst in blood from his wrists, where at least it will only hurt him, and not the people who listen to that song's ears as well.

The same people would call the second a simple but heartfelt cry of mourning that evokes the Gothic message without ridiculously overdoing it. Again, this is merely an opinion, you are free to disagree if you want.

"Call thy name at nightfall
Reach out for thee life's rose
Cast thy veils at sunset
Trespass the waning in my halls
Prosperous beauty
Embraced by Eden's heart
Call thy name out tearful
Reveal to me thy deepest loss"

"How can you see into my eyes
like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
where I’ve become so numb.
Without a soul,
my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold,
until you find it there, and lead
it back home."

The second lyrics to me sound to me almost like every other love lyrics that i encounter in all music,while i must say the first one is a bit more original...but as you said it's a oppinion.

Now let's compare this one :

Lacuna Coil

"Everything is different today
I like it, like it
I feel very different today
I like it, like it

I'm not gonna be in your parade
'cause I don't like it
You think I'm a dirty little game
You think I like it
You made up this fantasy with me
But I don't like it
I want you to get away from me
That's how I like it
How do you like it?

Today I'm gonna fly
There's nothing that can keep me on the ground
Touch the sky
I'm free inside"

My Dying Bride

"What is it you hope for, even though you are dying?And even though life is closing your tiny eyesWhy did I leave them all?I should be with them to die in the same placeThe pain I think, should go on forever. For alwaysBut no. Not mine. Not now. My life now be"

I mean common the first one is ridicuolis while the second one is sad and a sorowfull story.And i must say that Cristina Scabbia is overrated while Andrea Ferro is underated( He has a more unique voice)

Btw the bands you mentioned really don't pretend to be hardcore goth bands.... they're viewed more as rock bands and are classified as such

Based one some chit-chat and youtube comments i have the impression that people consider this bands goth or simmilar.I and they are all but rock bands...

A lot of people who comment on youtube can't even write proper English so don't pay too much attention to them

No Type O Negative?

Just listen to what you like, don't worry about what other people like or are saying on Youtube.

The only good thing about youtube comments is irritating people who read them.

Gaaad I hate posers. *flicks fring across face* They're so conformist...

You can't be a nonconformist if you don't drink coffee!!

Er Within Temptation, Epica arent "goth" bands to begin with so anyone trying to label them that way is flat out wrong hence your poser label is as well. Hell bands like Paradise Lost are hardly goth anymore and I think its a stretch to label even their old stuff as such. Only really MDB (who I happen to love) would I call goth from bands you listed. Bands like Darkseid, Moonspell have shifted around a bit.

Uh... Tristania is definately gothic metal.

Only commented on bands Ive listened to....

Paradise Lost is doom! Doom I say! That's why they tour with My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Anathema etc. All amazing Doom bands.
