nowadays i see ppl listening mostly to ONE genre... mostly just death/speed/megahypercock satan metal and nothing else...why? somehow it bothers me...i mean they're missing a lot cos there are so many good bands, in different genres, that you'd love if you had an open mind and listened to it with a different perspective than listening to only 1 genre. I just listen to what sounds good to me, almost every genre that exist and that makes me easier to understand and appreciate music and also helps me making own songs as i get ideas from wherever. i dont like picky ppl in music

Well as a headbanger I'll answer to this.. I have listened to metal music for a long time, and I'm sad it's "in" now.. :< But of course I sometimes listen to other kinda music as I play guitar and like to play other stuff too. Just to mention a few outside metal scene: Early Apulanta Rasmus - NOTE, not THE Rasmus, but the band before they took "the" word in the name. Laura Malmivaara - Finnish actor! RHCP Early Coldplay
BUT NOTHING ELSE HAS THE FEELING WHAT THE BEST METAL BANDS CREATE Seriously I'm miserable some fucksticks are not able to understand and feel metal music. And I'm not talking about some emo trivium or something like that.

okay maybe i brought this up in a wrong way cause obviously you all misunderstood the point
i didnt say metal is bad or annoying me, i was just giving an example of ppl who tend to listen to just one genre and i was wondering if they listen to other genres, and why they dont and such..
all music got influence from somewhere. every band is "stealing" another band's music. You can go far back to see where it all began. Every genre is still related to each others, it's music afterall. It's all up to you how you want to listen to it, how opend minded you are. I appreciate all kind of music, as long as i can feel it...
so stay on the topic, and dont go all sensitive of what others are listening to. I'm just curious on why ppl like this and that...but mostly, why certain ppl like just one genre. It's really cool to socialize with music friends that listen to MUSIC and knows about MUSIC and not just about one artist or just about one genre.
The more you learn to appreciate the good side of each genre, the more you enjoy yourself.

Temb and alien having fun living under a rock? Every fucking teenager who wants to be a bit different listens to metal nowadays.
Children of Bodom and stuff.. And your comment about puking into the mic just shows how little you know what you're talking about. Of course there are bullshit bands like Cannibal Corpse which I don't understand. But I do not listen to that kinda metal. If you would just try bands like Moonsorrow or Opeth you'd MAYBE understand what I'm talking about. For example, Opeth makes totally acoustic guitar ballads and does it better then the bands outside metal scene. Of course they have those really progressive grawling songs as well but half of the shizzle is grawling, half of it is ballad like. And many people, critics as well, have agreeded with the claim that Opeth's singer/songwriter/guitarist has the one of the best voices in all music nowadays.
I've brainwashed my mother to understand me, and she's the most critical woman when it comes to music so I believe in what I'm saying. She sings in a choir and mainly listens to classical music, and studies music therapy. And I've made her listen to metal with me. And though she doesn't mainly enjoy it, she has learned to respect my opinions and the whole metal genre which I listen to.
But I succeeded in all this only because I could play songs to her, so I believe this conversation is totally useless :F
ps: sdm, I agree that's why I said "early" coldplay meaning everything before the new album :F

in finland metal has been pretty huge, and still is. You maybe dont notice it tembest because you do MTV and clubs.
metal is a pretty wide genre, there are so many different kind of metal music so there's no idea in generalizing it.
It's all prejudice...you go prejudice when you don't know about something or someone much.

for me, underground bands are more real than mainstream bands. Shows more that they care less about fame and money and focus on music. And I've found out that I get along with people better if they have same music taste as I do, altough I got few friends who don't listen to anything I listen but the problem is...when we tend to go get drunk...we have to do compromizes. They don't wanna listen to rock/punk/metal, they wanna go all disco. Since they're my friends, I go with them to disco altough that's not my thing, most important I'm with them and get drunk
