I was being serious. Whether it's a stereotype or not, the reasons I listed are my answer to the question at hand. Isn't that the point of this thread?

I wasn't being sarcastic, just goofy. If you don't like fantasy elements, stay away from power metal. If you don't like blood, stay away from death metal. If you don't like melodramatics, stay away from... most every form of metal. If you don't like all three, stay away from black metal. There's always grindcore and industrial metal though.


Grind




Industrial

It's fine but I find it quite a bit less enjoyable than the vast majority of other genres so I just don't listen to it.

I like how anybody who voices an opinion contrary to some people in here gets attacked for it. This is why many people do not participate in these threads and you always see the same posters rehashing the same old rhetoric time and time again. I tend to think of it as musical incest and we all know what happens when the tree has no forks in the branches. I love dynamical music which is why I love symphonic and gothic metal so much. The artists can play straight metal or incorporate elements of many different genres into their songs. Many can even play straight classical and sound better than a dedicated classical artist because their influences are so vast.

No one's being attacked you oversensitive weirdo. When someone classifies an entire subgenre as "lacking talent" then it's perfectly reasonable to expect fans of that genre to jump in and give a counterpoint

Yes focus solely on my for-fun jab rather than the actual point I was making that it's completely justified that your posts are finding criticism

And yet you don't understand why screamed vocals/growled vocals play their role in Metal. There was nothing incorrect about The Batlord saying that you calling vocalists that scream through entire songs or albums lack talent was ignorant. That is because your opinion came from lacking understanding as to why there's the screaming. One reason is that it's one big part of metalcore, as well as other variant genre's of the Metal tree. There's been plenty of bands that incorporate the screaming/clean vocals in Metal, and almost every variant genre of it; there's that dynamic you like.

It's one thing to discuss something and understand it. But it is another to discuss something and not understand it at all.

Sorry. But you do sound ignorant on the matter.

It's not just because he classified an entire subgenre as lacking talent. He is convinced he knows what he's talking about, and that's with him so far showing no evidence that he knows what he's talking about, and he is showing no evidence for why he's right or to back what he's said...even though he's completely wrong.

What case? You brought it all on yourself. People react in the way appropriate to how you've handled yourself so far in this thread. If you want that to stop. Well, does it have to be spelled out for you?

Not all metal has melodramatics, fantasy elements, and blood. Some of it can be highly profound points of view of the artists perspective of the world around them.

Hopefully, this will change your mind:
