Music that you don't listen to?

Manimal · 08-31-2015, 10:27 AM

Metal core or anything similar. I've only listened to 2 albums of the genre and I can say it's not my thing. However I'm still willing to try out other stuff. There is a lot of electronic music that I don't enjoy, like the rougher stuff if that makes sense. I don't know the sub genres enough to say which ones I don't like.

I don't listen to classical and I don't listen to a lot of rap and country but there is still stuff from both genres I like.

But what of Metalcore and music similar have you heard?

I guess I should ask what you don't like about it?

If it's the vocals you can't get passed, you're focusing on the wrong thing and not what makes the genre distinguished and overall better than other sub genre of Metal in general.

I'm just ignorant in this matter. I've only listened to I think the first Kill Switch Engaged album and the newest Bring Me The Horizon album. They are probably not good examples of the genre I am aware they just happened to be the albums I've listened to.

Overall it's far to crude and rough for me. Vocals are a big thing for me in music, if I don't like a singer I find it hard to listen to the rest though I understand that the screaming vocal style is something that has to grow on you. I'm just generally not fond of the down tuned guitars chugging and just the whole vibe of it all. It's not for me. I understand why people like it and I can acknowledge it's complexity but I just don't personally like it.

I'll listen to the songs posted when I have a chance and give them a fair try but I'm not sure I'll like them. Again, it's really just not what I like to listen to.

Those bands sound very different from Killswitch and BMtH. If you don't like screaming, though, then they may very well still not be your cup of tea.

Or you could be like me. I was advised by Janszoon to think of the vocals (be they death, screamo, grunt, growl, animal noises, ten cats in a bag, whatever --- note: I initially wrote "ten cats in a vag"!

so p-i-p does NOT stand for "picture-in-picture" after all?

) as just another instrument. That kind of didn't work, but putting them to one side and concentrating on the music has allowed me to get into metal I could never have done a few years ago. I mean, I'm actually listening to this right now, and enjoying the **** out of it! Anyone here who knows me will tell you this is very much a

But...vocals are an instrument.

Trollheart · 08-31-2015, 01:29 PM

Yeah, but we don't think of them as such. If someone says what instruments do you play, and you don't, but you sing, you'd say none, but I sing. They're generally not looked on as a musical instrument. I find, anyway.

So you can walk into a music store and buy new vocal chords? I don't think so.
