the way you can tell it's power metal is a simple test -- "if I tell my friends I like this, will I get made fun of?" if "yes," then it's probably power metal

Power metal. in my experience, is either really really good or really really awful. There isn't a whole lot of mediocre. Basically, if you are going to go power, go hard or go home really. You can't half ass this stuff.

I used to outright loathe power metal. But since I've started to listen to more and more metal in the past few years/started valuing escapism above pretty much anything else (in music), my stance has softened (er... hardened?) towards it as I probably listen to stuff that wobbles dangerously close power metal territory. Can't help but hate myself for that, just a little.

or is power metal one of those things like goth where no good band who is goth actually calls themselves goth and any band who cops to it probably sucks?

There's a pretty trustworthy regional divide in quality. US power metal is mostly pretty cool, because it's basically just plain old heavy metal. European power metal is the kind with giggly crackhead elf vocals, synth and a general sense that all the metal got sucked out of the equation.
― punksishippies, Tuesday, 20 September 2016 20:50 (seven years ago) link
No. Power metal is not fucking like fucking goth. Power metal is about well-justfied high self-esteem.
xpost: European power metal is awesome. Synthesizers in metal are awesome. Elves will kick your ass if they have to make a giant elf-pyramid to reach it.

Got the new Hammerfall album this week - they've switched labels, from Nuclear Blast to Napalm. First song on the record is called "Bring It!" and totally lives up to that title - chorus is a gang shout.
