What's wrong with rock being LOUD? (depeche mode, hardcore, metal, punk)

I was viewing a thread on another forum where people were arguing whether Johnny Cash's version was better or worse than the original NIN version. One gal said that NIN was basically "the biggest piece of **** put together for shock value ever". I didn't agree, but I still respected her opinion. Then, out of boredom, I looked to see what other bands she posted about. Though I still respect her right to her own opinion, here's where I had to laugh about any of her "opinions" from then on. Apparently, she liked Good Charlotte and Linkin Park and the hardest thing she listened to was 311. In my eyes, I could retranslate her earlier statement to say "they're too loud and unconventional (MTV poppunk-numetal-emo-mellow clone garbage)". I half couldn't help but to wonder if 50 Cent is on her fave list.

Not that I care, just that rock music is supposed to be LOUD. Partying, raising hell, blah. Not to sound "immature" saying that, but a lot of this new crap is just ****. The only thing aggressive about it is that it makes me wanna smash my stereo when I hear the whiny crap everywhere. I'm probably babbling, but thought I'd post this.
