Metal genres
-
I kinda feel this. Some years ago I was a diehard Hardcore (Techno) and Uptempo enjoyer and would not listen to anything else. Then about one year ago I kinda stopped caring and now I listen to a whole bunch of stuff (but still mainly Techno) except pop. Pop is absolutely lame in my opinion. It has nothing that makes a single song stand out from any other. No kicks, no drops, no provocation. It only cares about being liked by the masses.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I think its fair to say i have a favourite genre, or multiple favourites, but that is no longer exclusive or exclusionary. All music is welcome, i will no longer judge a song by its genre.
I attribute the change to having different social groups in my life. When i was in school i was into rock and thwn metal and that was pretty much the only thing i liked. Later i got in with a crowd that was more into techno, dnb, dubstep, house, minimal etc and grew to appreciate it, and love it, around the same time i was playing in bands and learning the blues, and got into jazz more recently. Always liked classical because of my piano lessons when i was young. It opened my mind up to so much more.
Except pop

I feel that with the social circle. In the city I moved for university we have a small student club and there the often play quite a lot of acid techno, dnb and other techno variants. Also a friend of mine is deeply into dnb and this 100% influenced my music taste.

Right but like... It's not good.
I mean I understand you might prefer other rhythms but now you're just being edgy

I have this problem where I love some good metal guitar, but most of the stuff with the sound that I like also includes vocals reminiscent of Christian Bale's Batman with a sore throat, which I do not enjoy. Either that or overly edgy lyrics.

So being boring?
Predictability can be important in music, depending on what you're doing. If the audience can't follow your rhythm, they won't enjoy the music. I assume you're a different audience, that's fine too.
Having a boring rhythm doesn't mean the rest of the music has to be boring

I feel like I'm "Its all metal" cause I don't judge and will listen to a lot of it as long as I can understand the vocals. But I'll lean more towards the classic stuff like early Sabbath and Dio (both rainbow, sabbath and solo) and if its more modern it just ends up being Iron Maiden (I still love The Final Frontier or Book Of Souls... which are 15 and 10 years old now.. fuck me) or Megadeth. No idea of any new artists after like 2000 lol. I don't see myself here. Maybe "The Casual" is missing.

That doesn't seem fun at all. I listen to what I like, independent of genre and just respect people that have different tastes than me. Except gatekeepers, get outta here with that snobby attitude.
I do listen to whatever I like thank you, but it happens my tastes are limited. And I don't give a shit what others are listening, as long as they don't force on me.

Pop music is so weird to listen to for me. It's like it's engineered by 12 different people to sound catchy. The equivalent of a movie showing a dog dying and the filmmakers are very proud of themselves because they were able to make people sad with a movie.

Dad is the only one I'd hang out with
I used to have only band shirts. Like i would buy a shirt on every concert i went to and had around 400 shirts. There was no reason to ever buy normal shirts. The "dad" guys would always look at my shirt and say something like: "infant annihilator"? I like AC/DC. Always cracked me up.

Electric Callboy and Ghost.
muhahahaha
I heard people say that ghost is metal for people who don't like metal and i can't stop thinking about it.

Random question - anyone know a good site to buy digital music that pays the artists somewhat decently? I've got a few artists I need to get albums from after bailing on Spotify and they aren't on Bandcamp and don't has album sales linked to their official sites. Hell, even physical copies of some albums are hard to come by in the US.
I saw "7Digital" mentioned somewhere but I see there multiple listings for the same album at different prices (literally the exact same album, exact same quality) which makes me suspect it's not as legit as I had hoped.

Try Sinergy.

I think I'm "it's all metal" because I don't care to give thought to every subgenre of metal. If it sounds good, I like it. I have to laugh at the description though because I do really enjoy melodic death metal and I blame Avatar for that.

Have you considered going instrumental?

This is where I fit - really obscure tastes, but instead of gate keeping, I'm like a Jehovah's witness showing up at your door, pushing bands on you if you show even the slightest interest
I am very interested.
But usually I like one or two songs from one interpreter, there are very few albums I like whole (Wintersun by Wintersun is the main exception, that is amazing from start to end).
So it's hard for me to find new music that I like.

As a dedicated metal-type autist for over 15 years I am proud to say I'm not on this list. I am the Ambassador, the Professor, the Diplomat. I welcome any and all into the fold and love to help people find their niche. My personal taste leans towards prog, black, and death but my knowledge runs deep and I love to share it.

I've got a bunch of recommendations scattered throughout the post. Give them a whirl
