I dont like takes about how 00s symphonic metal like nightwish only got hate for misogynist reasons bc they had female vocalists. Like to some extent maybe, but lets be honest, it just sucked. And as a woman these bands rubbed me the wrong way because they only liked women as vocalists and only if they were attractive enough and looked good in corsets. Its kinda an approach to women adopted from pop music. Treating women in music more like models than actual musicians. I grew up in that era and the dudes who listened to that treated it like a contest on who has the most fuckable vocalist. There were women playing actual instruments in 80s death metal bands and they were appreciated in the scene for their talent without having absurd expectations of looking like models forced on them, this shit is not groundbreaking
