If you keep saying I am missing the point then I will continue because evidently you have to have the last word.

The statement was that I have no right to judge because I have not listened to every single screamo/metal song. I stated that there are a few songs in the metal genre that I do listen to without particularly liking, but even with songs where there is some orchestral wok that I enjoy, the screaming lyrics come in and I can't stand it.

If I liked crunkcore bands and I told you you could not judge because you have not heard every single Blood on the Dance floor and LMFAO song, would that make you change your opinion about it?

The point is that you can't say anything even loosely associated with screamo/death metal. Do you realize how much music that encompasses? Death metal spreads out to a lot of metal genres, while screamo isn't even a prominent subgenre. What you're thinking of is Post-Hardcore and Metalcore.

I could say "I hate everything associated with breakbeats" because I often don't enjoy tracks that feature breakbeats. However, breakbeats are used in a very wide range of genres, many of which I enjoy. Metal/Post-Hardcore uses a lot of techniques/sounds that you enjoy in other genres.

It is not about how freggin different they are that they can be classified into different genres and how deep it gets. I don't care because I know I will not like it. Just try giving me a screaming song that I enjoy.

Remember my comment about the crunkcore bands that you refused to comment on?

No. I'm arguing about proper expressing of opinions and how generalizations are wrong.

I didn't refuse to do anything. I didn't have time. So, let's go for a better post:

It's funny how you don't know what you're talking about. Neither Blood on the Dancefloor nor LMFAO are Crunkcore bands. LMFAO is a pop duo and BotD is just a really bad, "aggressive" synthpop setup. However, I can get a kick out of both, so whatever. Also, understand that I'm not trying to change your opinion. Your opinion really doesn't mean anything to me. I'm just trying to tell you why you're not expressing yourself properly.

Oh, so it's screaming that you dislike. That's funny, because Death Metal generally doesn't use screams, and screamed vocals aren't even the main defining feature of Post-Hardcore/Metalcore. See, your words are misleading because you either don't think before posting, or just don't know what you're talking about.

So instead of saying "durr screamo be bad" say "I dislike screamed vocals". Because that conveys what you want to say properly. I knew what you meant from the beginning, but I wanted you to realize that your choice of words was poor, and counter your slightly arrogant attitude with equally condescending ramblings.

You'll probably get some kind of smartass comment like "No, we're arguing about the music he doesn't like."

This thread is about music that you don't like. I express that I don't like screaming music. How dare I voice an opinion that does agree with the general consensus.

There are plenty of people who don't like new age classical music that much, but I am not going to create a huge argument on how they have not heard every classical song and just do not understand the genre. They just don't like it and that is that. I am quite sure I can move on with my life knowing that there are people who don't like the genre.
You like screaming music, good for you. If you understand that people can dislike things then why call people who don't like the genre horribly ignorant? To use figurative language: Some apples may be sweeter than others, there are many different kinds of apples, but they are still apples.

Death Metal is just another genre that I don't really like. And as I said, there are a few metal songs that I do like without liking the genre.

And no, I just don't like the music in general. Not the music, not the vocals. I just can't stand it

Do you even read what I post? Of course you don't. You just skim through it, thinking I'm not allowing you to have an opinion.

Well, big surprise, I'm not a fascist! You can have your opinion all you like, as I said I don't care about it. I don't even listen to that sort of music anymore. I'm actually trying to help you hate the world less and making it hate you less by expressing yourself properly. But nope, I'm just labeled as Injun Joe McHitler. Whatever bro. I ain't mad.

Oh, I see you read after replying. Hehe, good going. Well, once again:

Express yourself properly. It'll help a lot, I promise.

So I don't like a type of music and that makes hate the world?
Did I ever say I had a problem with people listening to it?

This whole argument is about how horribly ignorant I am because I don't like the genre. Just look at my musical preference: Loreena McKennitt, Orla Fallon, Enya, Clannad, Calentina Lisitsa, Chopan, Rachamonanov, Liszt.

Do you really think you could find that kind of music in this preference?

Okay, let me make it real simple:

You started out saying that you hate anything associated with Screamo and Death Metal. Two genres. You didn't specify what you disliked about said genres, so you got backslash for generalizing. Then you said you don't like "screaming songs" which is a whole lot more specific. Now everyone understands that you dislike screamed vocals. That's a big difference, and no one would have disagreed with you had said that in the first place.

That's what I'm trying to tell you here: Say what you mean so that people can understand exactly what you're talking about.

Someone who I really don't like is Kanye West. I hear so much about him being a musical genius and a lyrical master and that he's the best thing that has happened to hip hop and I don't GET IT. There is no redeeming quality in his music for me. Rearranging samples does not make you a masterful composer, and rhymes about ass shaking assquakes or something is just... no. Nononononononono.

And there is good music in every genre (except crunkcore and modern 'emo'). You just have to find it. Putting music in genres doesn't work for me so much because when talking general genres the mainstream idea is usually different (in a bad way) than what the real genre would be. Music always gets better when you cross genres over and put ideas together.

I kind of suspected this would turn into a mass-rage-OMFG-LOL kind of thread. I could have posted again, debating, but I do wonder about the brain cells of people on this thread.

I'll put it like this; I LOVE Death Metal, Black Metal, Rapcore, anything like that. That doesn't mean I'm going to rage about someone else's preferences. If ya dont like it; simple! DONT COMMENT. Let people have their own opinoins...unless they say they cut people who like a certain music type, or throw chairs or stools or sheep (depending on preference) at people fitting into that stereotype. This thread is about least favourite band. SO, lets keep it that way, simply, and don't question other people's replies i.e "OMFG WHY U HATE DRAGONFORCE, THEY AWESOME!" <-----Baaaad ju-ju.

Speaking of sweeping generalizations, I hate all R&B. ALL R&B. The lyrical themes, rhythms, and core instrumentation are all just so... awful.

In fact, I hate R&B so much that 99% of the time, I forget it even constitutes music. I guarantee you, if it weren't for the fact that my new neighbor keeps blaring R Kelly, I could have gone this entire thread without once remembering that R&B was actually considered a musical style.


P.S. Death metal sucks. True Kvlt Black Metal FTW!
