Long story short I listen to every genre now and believe that every genre has it's merits, it's pretty win, I no longer confine myself to a few genres and can really accentuate my mood now. | ||

I have NO idea why people like Rap/Hip-Hop. It seriously just makes me angry. It sets me on edge, and I mostly find the lyrics so shallow and stupid that I would go so far as describing them intellectually offensive. What's the big attraction? Can someone who "gets it" explain it to me? It just bothers the shit out of me. Edit: I'm not a huge fan of metal either, but I do like some of the stuff that at least has a recognizable melody. I listened to a lot of Metallica in high school. Some of their music fits this category. | ||

Rap is a very diverse genre; there are many songs with deeper lyrics. Yeah, a lot of mainstream stuff is stupid, as is the case in every genre. Hating pretty much any genre is just ridiculous; there's always going to be stuff out there that you'll like. | ||

That's kind of like saying nickelback is so shallow and the lyrics suck, i just dont get why people like rock music. Gotta look deeper bro | ||

Your opinion is as shallow as the lyrics you appear to the believe the whole genre is comprised of. | ||

Here in Chile flaites (chilean gangstas) listen to reggaeton. Also, flaites are EVERYWHERE. And they listen to reggaeton withOUT earphones. So basically, you have to listen to that annoying music or use a music player of some kind, which they STEAL from you using knives and/or guns when they see your earphones. I hate the freaking sound of reggaeton (TUUUM-taTUM-ta TUUUM-taTUM-ta TUUUM-taTUM-ta TUUUM-taTUM-ta TUUUM-taTUM-ta TUUUM-taTUM-ta TUUUM-taTUM-ta...) as it is the same in every single song. So I understand how you feel. IMO Metal is the new classic music (in terms of the ability required to play it and the diversity and quality of the songs). But that's just me! xD | ||

Perhaps I should clarify that what annoys me most about the Rap/Hip-Hop I have heard is the sound of the music itself. I generally don't even listen to music lyrics, so I'll freely agree that the lyrics I HAVE listened to or read were a mere drop in the pond. I'll see if I can find a few songs that I do like the sound of, and I'll post them here to see what you think. | ||

Good metal, imo, is varied and musically/technically complex and really awesome to listen to. I think hip-hop is more popular because of its popular image of being club music, thus perpetuating the party scene which is more popularly enjoyed than metal concerts and the like. | ||

Then I saw the OP's post. Your type of music is just as bullshit as hip-hop, if not more. Old metal is the only bit of metal worth listening to (Black Sabbath, The Misfits, Judas Priest, etc.). The rest of it is bitchy, mostly uncreative, has little/unoriginal points, and is less skillful and creative in terms of actual instrumental and lyrical quality.... In my opinion.

Pretty different from the other two examples, but old enough to be considered.... old. They highly influenced almost every modern metal band, so i feel that regardless of our opinions, they deserved recognition as one of the higher in metal history. | ||

god what a terrible thread, no music is the best. it's like saying fps are superior to rts, it's like saying that sc2 is superior to bw, it's like saying go is superior to chess. it's like comparing fucking apples and oranges ladies and gentlemen saying stuff like my apple is better then some rotten orange doesn't mean apples are better then oranges | ||

Regardless of who they influenced or what Danzig went on to do, The Misfits were punk rock. | ||

IMO that's much better than just screaming into a microphone. Not every metaller is from the suburbs at all. This is just mindless scene-talk generalization you're doing here. In fact, everyone should chill the fuck out and realize that there are insightful people into every god damn genre you can think of. Even the stuff that sounds like complete bullshit to you, don't even begin to demonize it because there will be good stuff within it as well, and good reasons to like it. | ||
