NOISE POLLUTION
This project is mostly a personal log following my journey into the metal scene. I do not claim this to be a beacon of objective music journalism, but rather highly anecdotal and opinionated. Yet also doing my best to be informative, accurate, and kinda well-researched. Above all else, this is a documentation of the things I find interesting, and my evolving understanding of the scene, and the wider world. No association with other zines/projects.

DISCLAIMER
Some may praise the metal genre for being āinclusiveā, but this is not a safe space for everyone: IF YOU ARE A BIGOT or IDIOT or BIGIDIOT, I do not/will not cater to your ass. Iām a queer person of color, and I am not obligated to explain why racism/xenophobia/homophobia/transphobia is fucking moronic. If you ādonāt like talking about politicsā, thatās your luxury. My existence is political, therefore the way I interpret, consume, and create art is inherently political. If what Iām saying pisses you off, ok. If your pissed-offedness confuses you, and you wanna look inside yourself and figure it out, maybe we can talk. Iām not always right, and neither are you.
TL;DR if you disagree with me, I can be open to conversations, but I donāt have to censor/alter this project to appease anyone but myself and cool likeminded people.
