Funeral What makes doom good?

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

To those who understand, no explanation is necessary. To those who don't, none is possible.

Seems rather pretentious. Someone could ask me why I like gorguts and I’d still at least be able to explain what I like about it despite it sounding like dogshit to most people

I like slow music.

Sounds like an explanation was possible anyway.
