Type of metal you DON'T listen to?

Really bad grind of any sorts... Nu metal... Black metal that sounds like it was cut in a storage shed... Hair metal.

Guess it's kinda hard to nail down anything else really but I'm sure I'm missing a few things.

I think I listen to most types of metal. There are awful bands in every genre ever, so I try not to listen to them, but at the same time I try not to to condemn a whole genre of music just because the one or two bands I've heard from it happen to be horrible.

Don't listen to:

-Grindcore
-Dark Metal
-Doom Metal
-Nu Metal
-Hair Metal
-99% of black
-95% of thrash
-Folk metal

I don't dislike dark, doom, black, or folk though...just haven't really gotten into those genres yet. It's astonishing how much music there is within metal alone that I still haven't been exposed to.

Grindcore is a genre that doesn't appeal to me at all. I wouldn't say I hate it, I am just indifferent to it. I don't listen to most nu-metal although I do find a few songs appealing here and there. More than the music, it's the vocals of bands like Shadows Fall and Blind Guardian that I don't like. Rap metal is the stuff I hate with a passion. I can't stand it.

Same for me, although I like folk. I just never tried getting into any of those genres.

I listen to nearly everything except generic hard/metalcore and most hair metal. Never seen the trouble with female vocalists, perhaps that's due to my love of female singers outside of metal...

Hair metal!, how the fuck I forgot it! I don't listen to hair metal! I think it's not a metal subgenere. That cock rock and hair metal and all those similar stuff should be genre for itself and called GLAM! (and not as a subgenre of metal, rock or whatever).

Actually, real glam rock, from the Slade/T Rex/early Bowie/Sweet was much more interesting musically and way less "fruity"...

Still, I lived in the time when Big-Haircuted "gentlemen" played their soft un-provocative rock and I still do enjoy some of it now...

Is that Limp Bizkit? if yes then I don't like it either

Gary Glitter's music has always been crap... There are crap bands in every scene I don't see why glam rock would be an exception... :wink:

I know, I asked on purpose because I wanted to see your reaction to that. Btw. one guy from my class listens nothing but those bands you mentioned earlier.

Thank God they hired Dee. :huh:

They're good bands actually... You should give it a try...

T rex is good.

Oh and how could someone not like Whitesnake or Skid Row (two of the elite few good hair/sleaze metal bands)?

hellraiser_xes · **Posted:** Thu Apr 10, 2008 3:46 am

I don't listen to Doom, Nu-Metal and not much of a Grindcore fan. And um, don't really like Industrial as well.

OldSchool · **Posted:** Thu Apr 10, 2008 8:59 am

I don't listen much to stoner, folk and industrial, though I don't dislike them. I dislike metalcore. And I definitely can't get into that drone stuff.
