Metal community, all subgenres welcome.
It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

Wouldn't it belong to c/metalmemes ?
I mean the video is obviously meant as a joke and gifs have been made from it to use as memes
I'd certainly agree with you if it was an image, gif, or a short video, instead of a full-blown song.
But, firstly, most metal genres feel quite jokular already — and the heavier and more involved, the more tongue-in-cheek they are. Except for some weird kids in the original Norwegian black metal scene, of course, who couldn't tell the boundary between fantasy and reality. Overall, metal folks should definitely be able to take a joke.
Secondly, I don't think Lemmy can quite afford this level of nitpickery when a typical post in the community gets around ten to fifteen upvotes tops. For now, I'll stick to the three music communities I participate in.
I didn't mean it as an offense, I've already seen funny videos on here (I think I'll post the last one from Archspire) but I only know this particular black metal video from memes :)
No offense taken, nitpicking over fine delineations is a time-honored tradition in metal circles.
