Why?, you ask....

The aggressive, frustrated, and self-gratifying quality of metal music,  what some would call musical masturbation, is where I derive this analogy.  Getting pleasure out of the shred guitar licks on the new children of bodom cd is arguably the same as getting pleasure out of watching free porn on the internet.  

Not convinced? We also found this parallel.

In pop-culture, only a few metal bands are considered "okay" to talk about in common conversation (i.e. Metallica and Black Sabbath).  Similarly, the porn industry has only a hand full of stars that have made there way into pop-culture status (let's say Pamela Anderson and Anna Nicole Smith for sake of my analogy).  Pamela Anderson is most remembered (arguably) for her work in Baywatch, a softcore porn disguised as a TV drama.  Although not porn it self, it hints and makes suggestions towards what porn is.   Only a few minor adjustments and you would get what we would call porn.  Black Sabbath, by today's standards, is not what one would call a metal band.  However, they started it all with their down tuned guitars and dark nihilistic aesthetic.  Today's metal is a faster, cruder, less refined derivative of this initial form.  Like Pamela Anderson, Black Sabbath exists as the soft-core version to which one could derive something more vulgar.          

Metallica used to be credible.  Now, they are a parody of themselves and exist as the only mainstream "metal" band.  Similarly, you could say Anna Nicole Smith was an actual porn-star  that later became a pop-icon.  No longer did she fully participate in her previous role, but her connection to it never left the public's consciousness.

This all said ... Math Rock=Nude Art if Metal=Porn
