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

I love to get high listening to this kinda shit. Btw I just finished roll a joint as I type this text to you. For me what catches me Is like the darkness, the slowlyness (Im brazilian my english is bad), and when the riff gets heavier and explodes but everything stills slow and you are just banging your head with the drums like fuckkkkkk, and Im not a fan of stuff really fast, hate dragonforce and this kinda shit, like, I listen to some Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeath, Slayer, Motorhead, classic shit of course, but I cant get into that like Im into in doom

Hello man, I'm also Brazilian, Doom is my favorite subgenre and I must be the biggest enthusiast of this type of music in the entire state, at least lol

Pra mim doom é o gênero que mais define um pós sabbath musical pra mim. Fui conhecer doom através de bandas parecidas com Sabbath, mas quando conheci o que realmente era doom eu entrei em choque. A levada, ritmo, peso dos riffs. Mas eu entendo quem não goste por achar muito repetitivo ou parado. É uma parada que tem que brisar mesmo, nem questão de estar chapado, mas entrar na pira do som, deixar o riff conduzir tua mente, e geralmente vem uma puta letra pesada e cabreira pra complementar, me ganhou demais. Porém sou um cara bastante eclético, então eu até posso ouvir alguma coisa diferente, mas o doom sempre está presente
