      It’s not even disliked, it’s just a running gag that Ghost’s subgenre is “Scooby Doo chase music”

      Because Ghost is not going crazy with solos, screeching/belching/barking lyrics out, isn’t recording their material in some hollowed out and echoed building somewhere. They also aren’t catering to lyrics about how it’d be a wonderful day to be devouring some flesh and fucking the eye sockets of a skull. But you wouldn’t know that with the vocalist doing said belching/barking/screeching lyrics until you read what the song is about.

      So basically, Ghost is not liked because it’s not catering to metal edgelords.

      The downvotes prove me right. :)

            You and your butt buddies are just offended because I ran your face in your own shit and you cannot handle it. You are a living example as to whom I am referring to and you keep it up.

            You are the idiot here.

        If someone tried to call a jazz band classical, I’d be similarly annoyed with them. It’s not metal because it doesn’t have any of the hallmarks of the genre and doesn’t sound like metal. And no, that doesn’t mean they’re doing something new and groundbreaking. It means they’re calling themselves the wrong thing.
