I am not a huge fan of his music but I will spin Det som engang var now and then. He isn't singing about Nazism or anything so I can separate him from his music.

Do You Listen to Burzum despite Vargs Actions?

Are there any bands you’re embarrassed about liking?

Why isn’t Nu Metal considered metal?

Bro, it seems you're in a mission to create controversial threads just for the sake of it.

Then don't listen to it if you're unsure.

Frankly I couldn't give two fucks about the church burning. As far as I'm concerned the Abrahamic religions are a cancer so I'm not really going to shed any tears about their icons being destroyed. Not saying it was the right thing to do, I just don't give a shit enough to stop supporting an artist over that particular thing.

I feel like Burzum is a cool band to be introduced in the world of black metal but after that first entry, there are much better bands to listen to.

Varg's ideology is pretty dumb, and he is a wacky character, but also his latest music is pretty lame, all that atmospheric synth music isn't really what I am looking for in black metal or any music.

Jesus Christ man. Thexhumed was 100% right that you’re just starting ridiculous threads and posting ridiculous things to try to be controversial.

Your recommendation from Burzum (who you seem to think is only controversial because of arson and murder but leave out the other major thing Varg is known for) is Peste Noire (who is more connected to Burzum via the ideology you didn’t mention than musical style) and you still expect to be take seriously? Come on.

I love Burzum. I just feel bad about listening to him because of the church burnings and murder of Euronymous. How do you feel about Burzum?

No, because Burzum is terrible music that's boring, repetitive, badly produced and poorly played. In addition, Varg is a white supremacist, racist, sexist, homophobic piece of shit. If you think that's cool then you're probably either an edgy 14 year old or a fucking asshole.

Beyond that, why should I have to justify not listening to someone who wants me dead?

I will sometimes put on the pre-prison Burzum albums - I mean, they're classic, foundational black metal albums for a reason. Varg's views do not turn up in the music, so I am personally able to largely separate artist from art. I obviously don't monetarily support him in the process though, and honestly I don't really bring up or talk about that stuff unless it's necessary - like if talking about the history of black metal, or something.
