One day you will suddenly realise how amazing Dream Theater are, and then you too will be a fan

Metal fans bar none.

Also Fusion fans who post on rock forums but bash every artist that isn't a 1000 year old guy that no one has ever heard of, has a funny, unprouncable name, doodles on a accoustic guitar for 9 hours and puts it on record so people can admire his musical virtuosity and brag about how he was a child prodigy who could play Neo Classical music when he was 4, blah blah blah.

Metal fans , who can`t seem to see anything other than technical ability & guitar solos who would rather listen to a 20 minute guitar solo than a well crafted song.

Hip Hop fans , who go around calling themselves DJs & will go around & bore people with their beatboxing & rapping skills *cough* at every given oppetunity.

Emo fans who scream at you 'Emotional Hardcore' ad nausium and invent a new sub genre every week.And who write awful poetry.

Dance music fans , (See metal fans , replace 'guitar solo' with 'beats per minute')

Indie fans , who will change from listening to American garage rock one week & then listen to acoustic Norwegian folk music the next just because Pitchfork told them to.

Punk fans , who seem to think playing more than 3 chords or selling more than 10 copies of an album is 'Selling out'

The choice is yours!!!!!!!!!

This is a brilliant post.

I'm a fairly tolerant person, so none of them really bother me. They're just young, testing the waters. I mean, the difference between teens today, and when I was growing up in the late 70's and early 80's is huge, music wise.

I may not care for most of the music these days, but I recognize the fact that young people today have far more choices than my generation ever had. They also have a lot more freedom to cross boundaris and listen to music they want, without any inhibitions. There's all colors and styles on the same radio stations today.

Top 40 today has rap, pop, metal, punk, and that weird country/pop thing, whatever it is. You would have never found such a mix on one radio station 25 years ago. So, in that aspect, music has progressed a lot.

That being said, I'll express my thoughts on a few things that do sort of bother me, but has nothing to do with the music.

The spelling rappers use drives me nuts. They've made it cool to be illiterate, and that's not good. Yes, there are plenty of people out there who listen to rap who are intelligent enough to spell words correctly. But what about the ones who aren't?

Secondly, the clothes. Will everyone please....pull your darn pants up!!!???.

As far as the Goth comments, there are a lot of them here. I live in a college town, so the place is crawling with 'goth people', for lack of a better term. I've had a lot of contact with them, and I'll tell you right now, they are easily the most soft spoken, easy going, polite young music fans I've met. The goth look is just a look, as it is with all genre. The image projected from the music.

Well, you could call it generalizing, but most metalheads i know are closedminded, ignorant twats who trash talk about everything outside of their prefered genre.

Of course there are exceptions.

I was one of those. LOL. Then I grew up and found out that metal was only 1/1,000th of the music that is out there.

I'd say I am fairly open-minded- unless it's pop or dance music. lol
Some metalheads can be like that, but most of the metalheads I know aren't
