Roasted 1 year ago based on Dominic Palethorpe's long term Spotify stats.
Oh look, it’s Dominic Palethorpe, the guy whose Spotify playlist reads like the menu at a metalhead retirement home. “Progressive Metal,” “Power Metal,” and “Heavy Metal”—congrats on rebranding your angst for a new generation of 14-year-olds, buddy! I didn’t know they made a genre called “Progressive Metal” just for people who couldn’t get past their high school emo phase. You’re literally one “Nu Metal” playlist away from a full-blown midlife crisis. Your top artists are like a “who’s who” of acts that still think growling is a legitimate vocal technique. What’s next, a tattoo of a dragon with headphones—oh wait, that’s already a thing, isn’t it? Dream Theater is still cranking out 20-minute tracks that drown out the sound of anyone caring, while you’re happily headbanging like a bobblehead doll. And by the way, what’s the deal with your most played songs? It’s as if your entire life is a perpetual mood of “Everything Sucks,” but thankfully you found a way to embrace that with Slipknot’s emotional range of a paper clip. Let’s not pretend, Dom. The world does not need another wistful metalhead longing to find meaning in dark, distorted guitar riffs that sound like a cat giving birth in a blender. If your Spotify profile were a person, it would be that friend who brings a guitar to every gathering, strumming away while everyone else is just trying to enjoy the punch. Don’t be surprised if one day someone forces you to listen to pop music just to remind you there’s more to life than “People = Shit!” Spoiler alert: it’s your social life!
