[QUOTE="Alx_Casket:1327533"]To answer the question of why I think Venom is overrated, they are widely credited with starting the black metal genre. This is incorrect. They MAY have coined the term and MAY have brought the evil stage presence to a higher level than what everyone else was doing at the time, but semantics be damned, they are not black metal. I don't hear it. Their lyrics are on par with a lot of black metal but that's where I draw the line. I mentioned them in this thread because of shit like their website's tagline: "THE ONLY OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF VENOM - THE ORIGINAL INVENTORS AND FOUNDERS OF BLACK METAL." I don't care that their overpriced merch is at hot topic (http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Music/MusicTshirts//Venom+In+League+With+Satan+Logo+T-Shirt-971579.jsp), in fact, I see it as a good thing since it gives kids the option to explore other avenues of music than whatever nowadays crap they're being pushed. Hopefully it throws money at honest metalheads instead of at some cookie cutter autotuned bullshit. When Joe asks Jack what his favorite black metal band is, and Jack replies "Venom" at the top of the list, I tune out on anything Jack has to further say about music. Agree or disagree, the rebuttal is welcomed.[/QUOTE]
