Modern metal is pretty emotionless. FYI screaming every lyric does not equal emotion. In my mind, most of these guys are losers who took 12 years of music lessons, but since they can't write songs they just write stupid shit about disembowelment and decapitation that any fourth grader could drool out and scream it as loud and fast as possible. Not my pride of lions. I like old tunes from the 60's and 70's. While the players in some cases aren't as mechanically excellent, the songs are always filled with emotion. There's definitely bands around right now that use metal aesthetics that don't put all their attention on technique. They are both bands that are heavily influenced by and heavily influence the drone sub-genre but the songs have unmistakeably metal aesthetics. | ||

I don't even watch MTV anymore Don't even get me started on Autotune and them annoying disco music IMO 90's had the best disco and 80's metal are classics I personally enjoy any music that is good no matter what genre. I had to admit hip hop/rap does have its few classics that are pleasing to listen to, just that majority sucked. Metal is probably my favorite. "Normal" people think I like metal because I'm a screwed up emo or some shit but truth is I just like the complexity of metal music, especially thrash metal -- balanced combination of speed and techinicality. Love for metal is bpobably sparked by my interest in electronic guitars and drums, when I'm listening metal I'm either air-guitaring or air-drumming haw haw haw. The harsh vocals are bonus  Same with OP, I like slayer, metallica that kinda band. Remember KoRn was the band that introduced me to metal, good nu-metal band. | ||

I in particular love power and symphonic metal because that's just the music that goes with my personality and to be honest i despise certain genres like hip hop and reggaeton (for those that don't know it, it's the latino style urban music) because they represent things with which i don't feel identified at all, but that doesn't make it better or worse music, just different. | ||

Many metal bands actually rely a lot on using complex rhythmical meters. Melodic and harmonic organization pales in comparison, in my opinion. In fact, that is one of the reasons why I generally don't care that much for rap. It is almost exclusively in standard 4/4, little syncopation, etc. I am sure someone could dig up an exception or two, I am speaking generalities here. | ||

Man, metal has so many subgenre's it makes absolutely no sense to make such a statement.

Bad music? Possibly. But every genre has its fans, and if it has fans it's certainly not bad. Everyone has different tastes, obviously. But just because you don't enjoy something doesn't mean it's bad. Obviously. As for hip hop and rap becoming mainstream, it's just a phase. It'll pass in 20 years tops I'm sure; not that it matters. People listen to what they like, you don't need to listen to it if you don't enjoy it. If you really hate it just ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist.. or turn up the volume of your own music to feel superior. ^_^ | ||

Most could be summed up in two words: double kick (from the eyes of a man who plays drums). Metal bands just never seem to be very creative. I guess that's what happens when you enter a genre that is centered largely around a certain image rather than actual musicianship (same goes for rap/hip-hop). Yea. + Show Spoiler + So boring. I'd add CoB but they've been letting me down ever since (including) Hate Crew. I do, however, recommend 'Die Apokalyptischen Reiter', Finntroll... and the ever so awesome Apocalyptica for some of the finest niche metal bands in the world. | ||

I wouldn't find it far fetched to say that pretty much all bands/musicians can be labelled as somewhat individualistic or egotistical. Pop music with girls running around naked is ideologically suspect. Metal culture is just as, if not more aggressive than hip-hop. Even classical music culture could be labelled negatively as elitist and backwards if you want. I would agree with you for metal and pop music. They don't worth better than hip hop imo. Classical music is not elitist in itself. I have a chamber music festival running in one of the most rural region of France where basically nobody has access to culture and people love it. Classical music is too often elitist in the form it takes, but that is not intrinseque to the music; you could say the same about every art which is not marketed mass entertainement and recquires any kind of effort. Now Boulez or Ligeti are way less backward than Michael Jackson or Britney Spears in terms of music composition (Britney Spears doesn't bring anything at all, her music is 4/4 tonal crap subdominant-dominant-tonic with the simplest structure, while Boulez or Ligeti do). The only musics today which I find deserve respect are Jazz, Classical music in general, some Rock and local music which have not been perverted by commercial western crap. I find everything else being worthless entertainement. That's extreme, but that's also the way I am. | ||

I listen to bands like RHCP, and Radiohead, older music like the Cars, Boston, Led Zeppelin (obviously), and popular music / rap like Kid Cudi and Eminem. Obviously I listen to a ton more bands in each of these genres, plus different genres altogether. Point being, I listen to everything that I like (it just so happens that I don't like artists like Lady Gaga haha) | ||

True but sad. youre an idiot. theres already so many arguments and examples shown in the past 10 pages of this thread (which you chose to ignore) saying why rap/hip hop isn't as bad as shallow people like you think it is, so Ill just leave it at "youre an idiot" | ||
