Of course not.
I just read some reactions to Baby Metal... and then it just came to me.

Haha, I love Baby Metal! Yeah, I guess it's frustrating for metalheads when one of the first metal bands to gain so much popularity is... that. :P
- Are metal heads just hipsters in black?
No, they just like metal... and not every metal head hates popular music or famous music groups... in fact all of the metal heads that i knew didnt hate any sort of music.... they just prefered metal over anything else.
No, it's just that this good shit in music usually happens to be what's unpoppular and what's popular usually sounds like shit to us.. But aside from some elitest black metal/death metal snobs out there who feel for it to be TROO metal it the production quality must sound like ass and have only sold 3 thousand copies - I feel like most of us like what we like, and we don't care what others think, whether it's super popular or completely unknown. I love Decapitated, Omnium Gatherum, and Ensiferum, but I also love Metallica, Black Sabbath, In Flames, and System of a Down.

You made a thread just to insult an entire genre of music and it's fans? Wow.

Most of the ones I knew grew out of that mentality after middle school and are accepting of all music taste, focusing instead of their character and approach to music. |
Nailed it. That last bit exactly describes myself and all metalheads I grew up with.
Im not a Metal head im a music lover but most metal heads are the same as me. we are open to good music we do not listen to garbage. and any genre is acceptable good music is what we look for.
| Shadow1980 said: I've been listening to metal music since I was a kid, and I still listen to it now at the age of 34. Most of my CD collection is metal. Back in the early 90s I would stay up late on Saturday nights to watch the original Headbangers Ball with Ricky Rachtman, which showed videos by Metallica, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Megadeth, Ozzy, Anthrax, Sepultura, Pantera, Crowbar, Tool, Type O Negative, Danzig, White Zombie, and many others. In the past 20 years since the Ball ended I've discovered other bands I like as well, including Fear Factory, Opeth, Slipknot, In Flames, and Amon Amarth. Of course, I don't just listen to metal. I listen to a lot of the stuff that was popular when I was young, including classic rock (much of that was still relatively new in the 80s and hadn't yet garnered the title "classic rock" yet; (Led Zeppelin IV is to me like what Nevermind is to someone who's 14 now), 80s pop & new wave, "hair metal," grunge, alternative rock, and some old-school rap. I also listen to some prog rock (e.g., Porcupine Tree, as well as older prog that gets airplay on classic rock stations), some J-pop and J-rock, and classical & orchestral. Much of what I listen to that isn't metal was actually mainstream back when it was new, and I still enjoy those tunes from when I was a kid. Of course, pop/Top 40 and more mainstream rock music rapidly lost its ability to hold my interest throughout the latter half of the 90s and on through today, so while I liked a lot of mainstream stuff when I was younger I don't like newer mainstream stuff, not because it is mainstream but because I just don't like the way it sounds. I can't stand Kesha, Katy Perry, Fergie-era Black-eyed Peas (they used to be a decent hip-hop group before she joined), Pitbull, LMFAO, and all the other stuff that dominates the Top 40 charts today. So, I usually end up listening to stuff I grew up with, with most newer music I listen to being more obscure acts, including metal bands. I don't know if this makes me a hipster. I don't eschew things because they're mainstream, and I've never tried to make a statement with what I listen to or how I dress. I really don't do the things the stereotypical hipster does, though I guess I am a bit of a nerd. I just listen to what I think sounds good, regardless of its mainstream status. I'm the kind of guy who can groove to a playlist consisting of the Eagles, Simple Minds, Pantera, Michael Jackson, Yes, Bobby Brown, The Pillows, and the Halo theme. |
Headbangers Ball dude! *sniff* end of an era! I used to watch that show all the time! Your playlist sounds like mine - quality music from every genre.
