Sabbath fixation
Desert imagery helpful, but not required (especially if you're American)
"Manly" vocals and sludgy distortion of the midrangey/lowendy style on the guitars, usually no reverb
Slow parts
Jean vests
PBR
Beards on at least half of your band
Marijuana imagery intertwined with Baphomets and such
I think this stuff is great of you can do it and stand out, but a lot of these bands sound exactly the same. I love seeing it live, but only a small portion of it is home-listening material for me.
I think the bands and the fans both enjoy the leaf.
