I saw this posted on instagram and felt it is perfect in every sentence to describe ST, I thought this sub would also appreciate this.

You're right this isn't metal. But I will tell you what it is.
It's grief learning how to breathe again
It's devotion that borders on self-destruction.
It's the part of you that wakes up at 3am and replays every version of yourself you've ever been.
It's softness wrapped in distortion. Vulnerability screaming because whispering was never enough.
This is music for people who feel too much and say too little.
For those who learned early how to dissociate.
How to survive.
How to make peace with the dark, just to get through the day.
It's ritual. It's confession. It's the space between sleep and waking, where the shadow self finally speaks.
It's anger without bravado.
Sadness without shame.
Love without guarantees.
It doesn't fit neatly into a genre because it isn't trying to impress anyone.
It's trying to tell the truth.
This isn't music meant to dominate a room. It's music meant to sit beside you when no one else knows what to say.
So no, it's not metal. It's emotional archaeology. It's psychological exposure. It's permission to feel everything you've been taught to suppress.
And for some of us that's heavier than anything else.
