Why is it so hard for the left, both pro and anti-Corbyn, to resist the logic of "my enemies' enemies are my friends"? Can we learn to cast a plague on the houses of enemies of progress whoever they are?

This paper continues my previous explorations into how metal aesthetics and scene-making might be rethought in the face of what I have called a ācrisis of abundanceā in metal. Drawing on my own attempts to understand a particular metal text ā Morgulās Lost in Shadows Grey (1997) ā I explore the nature of āmediocrityā in metal. The paper develops a typology of mediocrity and applies it to the case of metal. Building on this, I discuss how mediocrity might be valorized as a source of aesthetic pleasure. In doing so, a number of ironic or paradoxical elements of mediocrity are highlighted
