My biggest pet peeve is when people like "music" that is plain and simply just noise just to be non comformists, so they can go and find other non conformists and conform with them(death metal) and then go hate on other groups of people who like "music" that is just noise(screamo/emo/grindcore stuff).
It doesn't make any sense. YOU ARE LISTENING TO NOISE TOO. WHY JUDGE OTHER PEOPLE FOR DOING IT?
Oh right, because you've got a gigantic support group behind you, thats why. Death metal fans (in general)piss me off.
Oh and how most Death Metal fans I know think that they know everything about music and how what they like should be considered "good" by everyone and what they hate should be considered "bad" by everyone. And when other people don't like it they get pissed off and get other death metal fans to come and tear them apart.
I'm not usually one to judge an entire genre. I can enjoy some rap, I can enjoy some country, I can enjoy some hip hop, I can even enjoy SOME black metal(when its themes aren't satan and burning down churches and it isn't just screaming) HELL I can sometimes even enjoy some pop on the radio(VERY rarely though).
But Death Metal, I have tried very, very, very hard to appreciate, but I have come to a conclusion that its just noise. And its fans are some of the biggest douchebags ever. I don't like generalizing, but I have encountered more dickhead Death Metal fans than I have encountered ones who can actually go 5 seconds without hating on something.
Death Metal is the only genre I absolutely despise. I think the only reason anyone likes it is either they are doing it to be non conformist but at the same time to conform into the group of hate mongering teenagers who think they know everything about music when they listen to only cannibal corpse
Or they're ears have become so damaged by listening to music on full volume straight into their ears, that anything becomes music to them, even pure and simple noise.
I hope its just a fad and they grow up and start listening to what they ACTUALLY like, not liking something just because its "br00tal"
I'm not telling them to like what I like. I'm just saying they should listen to music for the real reasons.
