Favourite Music Genre

Rock? Pop? Jazz? Rap? Metal?

Mine is quite obvious; Metal

Rock.

I listen to pretty much everything, thoughI stick with alot of indie, punk, screamo....


I'm also pretty big on soundtracks and remixes.

Rock, Alternative, Metal, Screamo, Emotive Hardcore...Hell, I even have some rap and country on my iTunes.

I used to be pretty big on rap
I've never been able to stand country though
The only music genre that makes me want to bang my head on a wall
Oh that and some types of rap
Not the soulful, deep rap
But the; 'I slapped her with my dick, you know coz im a prick, you gotta think quick, blah blah'

I listen to everything. From emo to screamo to punk to post-punk to pop-punk to hiphip to hiphop-screamo to electronica to folk-punk. I don't see why I should be confined to just one genre when I change moods by the hour.

I really don't listen to enough music to know what I like, I guess I like some of just about anything if it's good.


Metal and hard rock are good though.

Oh
Haha
I was trying to make a joke
With my name
'Metal' =P

But:

- Rise Against
- Slipknot
- Emmure
- Bullet for my Valentine
- Bring me the Horizon
- As I Lay Dying
- Marilyn Manson
- Parkway Drive
- Nirvana
- Etc

Many others but I can't remember them all at the moment
Oh and yes many of them aren't metal bands

I always wonder how genre's get determined in the first place. Like how people often debate over wether music is rock or pop, hip hop or rap, emo or not(whatever else it gets mixed up with) an so on and so forth.


I mean, i'll go into Walmart and see a cd in the pop section, but then go into another store, even a different walmart, and see that same cd in the rock section.



So what gives?
Who determines this stuff?

The weird guy in the record store >.>

Everyone always will have their own opinion of which music is which genre
So everyone will rate it differently

The salesmen. He doesn't speak engrish.

That just confuses the genre discussions.

Genres I like:

Screamo, post hardcore, indie rock, emo (moss icon, NOT mcr), post-emo (such as mcr, fftl, etc), and alt rock.

Genres I hate:

Rap (the mindless shitty kind with no meaning whatsoever other than cramming as much curse words into one sentence),
country, bubblegum pop, glam rock, pop-punk (well, most pop-punk bands), and new wave.

That's basically all i've gotten out of most rap music too.
Bubblegum pop? Like hannah montana?

But that stuff makes me giggle because a lot of it makes no sense (as in the way they use the curse words)

Quote :

country

Why does everyone hate country? Is it because it's not "hardcore," or because it's for "hicks?" Country can be very emotional too, guys (though most, if not all music is emotional) I know a couple of country songs that can make me cry at times.

Quote :

bubblegum pop

Explain please? As in, the kind of pop music every 12 to 15 year-old girl listens to, or am I missing a compete genre here?

Quote :

pop-punk (well, most pop-punk bands)

I actually like pop-punk (the likes of Good Charlotte).

I honestly dislike when people say that they listen to "a little bit of everything," because usually those people don't realize just how much "everything" is.

That being said, I primarily listen punk and pop-punk, independent bands, "alternative rock," and singer-songwriter / folky stuff. I listen to a few electronic artists (The Books, Bjork, Burial, DJ Shadow, Portishead, Prefuse 73) and I like Eminem exclusively for his lyrics.

Yeah like polka and opera right? I doubt they listen to those even though they listen to "everything".


But I can't speak here because, like I said, I don't listen to enough to know which genre I prefer for sure.

Opera, classical, metal and rock. The Sub Genres of metal I dig is Opera, Power, maybe some speed and death. But not too much death. I treat rock pretty much as metal's dad.

And some techo when I feel the need to do a tiring task zombie-like. Well, maybe some J-pop/J-rock whenever I catch something I like... I DON'T KNOW WHAT GENRE ALI PROJECT IS!

Haha... you were the reason I even thought of opera when I made that last post.

Harder Better Faster Stronger by Daft Punk would probably be a good suggestion for that then.
It's not for everyone though.

I never heard of Ali Project until now but they sound beautiful. I wish I knew what they were saying though.
Something bothers me about listening to music in other languages sometimes.
If I do memorize the words and happen to sing them around someone who speaks the language I could be making a fool of myself by singing ridiculous or degrading lyrics that disagree with my personal philosophies and that would make me look hypocritical.

I like acoustic rock (The spill canvas, secondhand serenade), Metal (Metallica, Korn), Softish rock (BLG, We the kings, etc), a little Wrock - Wizard Rock (The Moaning Myrtles, Draco and the Malfoys, The whomping willows), Piano... thing (Ben Folds), a tiny bit of R&B (Usher)... More when I can remember.

...So do they sing about Harry Potter? 'Cause I mean, this is enough Harry Potter based music for me right here:

Nah, I just don't like it.
I don't think "I can't like it because it's 'hick music'", it's not for me.
I'm not saying it's musically bad, I just strongly dislike it.

Yeah that's pretty much what I mean.

I'm starting to like Eminem as well, Bug.
