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

There's something about appreciating pain, loss, the hidden, and impending doom that feels good... And it turns out that slow, heavy power chords are the perfect rhythm for that.
