why do people in the metal community constantly criticize slipknot?


Not all of them do. Slipknot certainly changed directions after their first big release, and people don’t like that. Also, and I’ve seen this first-hand, when I was in school, nobody liked slipknot. Most kids who wore slippy t-shirts were made fun of for it; now all those jerks where slipknot shirts and like all their music, especially that one song that they heard on the radio that they judge their entire catalog from.

People like things until they get too popular and becomes "fake," which is unfortunate for a lot of solid bands who have a lot of talent.

Plus, people are stupid. They go flying off the handle judging things by emotion before they put a lot of thought into it. I even find myself doing this sometimes; all you can do is step back a minute and look at the whole situation before you form your opinions.

    I worked at Hot Topic, so I heard this kind of thing lots of times.

    Because SlapKnut is shitty hard rock music made for angsty teenagers so they can sell millions of dollars worth of merchandise, which they undoubtedly spend on cp and fillipino kiddy prostitutes.

    Face it dude, that band is not metal. Anybody who is a true member of the metal community should not even waste their time bitching about Slipknot. Those guys suck for real.
