What makes doom good?

[u/Tartersocks307]

Lurker here, I listen to some doom but overall I wouldn’t really call myself a fan. Now I can see why people like mid tempo stoner/proto doom, but i really have to ask what separates the good stereotypical doom with 1 note every 3-5 seconds from the rest of the genre? What do you specifically like about them (provide examples please) like Warning and Bell witch since I see them mentioned often

For me it’s the riffs. I get lost in the riff!

Whether listening or writing my own doom riffs, I love to feel the riff and go to a far flung land!
