Because I prefer actual metal.

This is the more brusque version, but a more eloquent response would be, "It's just not my cup of tea."

Challenge me to a Hawaiian Punch chugging contest. I dare you.

Progmetal>all other metal. IMO.

I cant stand most metal because of the combination of the fans and musicians being total twats. Like how metal fans will listen to a band that is complet -blam!- and then claim that other people just dont understand it and they dont have an open mind about music.

I cant stand people (wether it's the musician or the fan) that try to be "brutal." There's nothing brutal about some dude wearing skinny jeans and dying his chick hair all in the name of a false sense of superiority. Music doesn't have to be brutal. It can be, but it doesnt have to be. If you really must write repetitive whiney songs then do it, but dont scream and distort your guitars just so you can call it brutal.

I love music. Some of the music i love is metal. But i like when a guy in a metal band can be a genuine dude and isn't on a mission to prove he's the greatest, most intense person to walk the earth. I enjoy talking about metal with people who actually listen to the music and don't just adopt a scene in an effort to be different.

The Black Chapter

People are easily turned away by the genre simply because "screaming is not talent" or just screaming for vocals in general are garbage. Have you ever tried it yourself? It's something that definitely takes a lot of work and talent. Please tell me why people are turned away by the god-tier genre of music that features more talent than any other genre.


Your entire premise is stupid.
People are not drawn to it because they dislike the sound, not because they don't think 'screaming' is a talent.
Any type of music, unless you're a music snob, you either like or disliek based on your taste, not the apparent talent required to make the music.
I don't give a flying -blam!- if Katy Perry is talentless, the music attributed to her is catchy as -blam!-, so I like it. 3OH!3 have no talent what-so-ever, yet I still have their album.
The bog standard person on the street doesn't like metalcore because they dislike the sound.

I agree here as well, funny thing is, kids like those, think theyre being individuals when theyre just flocking to another scene. That's one thing i forgot to mention, i like metal, but the fans can turn me off sometimes, especially when it comes to well known metal bands. They can consist of kids who are new to the scene and they feel the need to be "br00tal" and what not, its dumb. I myself was kinda part of that scene once but i have long ago sepreated myself from any kind of "scene" or group or following. These days i just tend to dress in a manner that wont attract negative or positive attention really.

We ALL had -blam!-s at are school that looks EXACTLY like this -blam!- They dress like this every day too

Thats an old-school style metaller, typically listens mostly to older way more underground stuff. OP is talking about metalcore, their fans look more emoish or in some cases more normalish.

Screamo is the worst music EVER, nuff said.

Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it. Throughout my lifetime, I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door.

I love it.

You, I don't like you.

Killing takes talent, doesn't mean I have to enjoy watching a man kill someone.

Not to equate metalcore to killing people, it's just that requiring talent=/=objectively enjoyable.

  • 12.30.2012 5:23 PM PDT

Because bands like Limp Bizkit, Korn, Slipknot, Linkin Park, Papa Roach (first album), etc.

Are better

I like that comparison

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

Metalcore is basically just more repetitive, simple composition with a lot of generic breakdowns that follow the same pattern over and over again, with basic screaming vocals. Genres like death metal, black metal and grindcore aren't just screaming when it comes to vocals, it's made to sound a certain way that fits, which is why it works for them. Metalcore just seems to do it because "omfg hardcore!" Though I'm mostly ranting about deathcore, which is absurdly bad, almost a parody of death metal.

Uh huh. Ok.

  • 12.30.2012 5:34 PM PDT

I like some metal core but not others. Stuff like Bring me the Horizon i just hate.

  • 12.30.2012 5:35 PM PDT

All because something takes talent doesn't mean that I want to watch or listen to it. Sucking your own dick takes talent; doesn't mean I want to watch someone do it.
