As I live in a country where the mentioned scene isn't really a problem, I listen to it solely for the music.
You say I need to branch out? Might be, but saying half of my fav bands are metalcore bands does not mean I don't listen to other types of music. My playlists on spotify include the following artists; - In Flames - Soilwork - Meshuggah - System of a Down - Chimaira - Chain Collector - Avenged Sevenfold - Atreyu - Parkway Drive - A Day to Remember - Slipknot - Pantera - Lamb of God - A Life once Lost - Maylene and the Sons of Disaster - Disturbed - Killswitch Engage - All that Remains - Dream Theater - Jack Johnson - Justin Timberlake - Guns 'n' Roses - Foo Fighters - Volbeat - Bring me the Horizon - Stonegard - Kite - Paramore - The Agonist - Every Time I Die And lots of different artists. My last.fm profile shows that the last year I have been listening to approx. four and a half hour of music every day. I play the guitar, the piano and sing - most of my life is about, with or includes music. I love music for what it is, not for what kind of people it includes. Quote:
EDIT; - Nickelback - Bullet for My Valentine - Apocalyptica - Aerosmith - Kings of Leon - Stephen Lynch - Queen - Nightwish - Skillet - Trivium - Lenny Kravitz - Godsmack - Bobaflex - Hatebreed - ZZ Top - Static X - Celldweller - Amy McDonald - Green Day - Guano Apes - Limp Bizkit |

Troll?
Sorry that listening to metal & hardcore of all different types for a large portion of of my life counts for nothing. And nowhere did I mention technicality. I believe I said I disliked it for it's lack of originality. Why on earth would I expect technicality in something that supposedly has it's roots in hardcore punk?

From your list of bands, I find it hard how somebody that listens to Lamb of God, Meshuggah, In Flames and Pantera etc can even listen to the majority of the metalcore stuff. In fact, one of the best metalcore albums is actually Avenged Sevenfold`s "City of Evil" and even that is not really metalcore as it has far more metal and rock influences in it. |

I see your point, but I am not your general music enthusiast either - prooved by your own statement. I find every single one of the artists/bands interesting in different ways, according to situation and mood.
City of Evil is without a doubt a fantastic album, and me myself struggle to call A7X metalcore - as they haven't been since Sounding the Seventh Trumphet and parts of Waking the Fallen. City of Evil and their selftitled albums are more a mix-up of rock, clean metal, metalcore and trash. |

Wow, I'm shocked. I'm gonna go ahead and be as arrogant as you, and conclude with you sighing over that cause they are commersial. OOOOOOO! Scary! They make money, i.e. the music isn't viable any longer. If that's the case; grow up.
Oh, and by the way; has it occured to you that other people might enjoy different usic than you? |
