Loads. I can't remember all their names... Opeth, I recognise. Dream Theatre... Gojira, Coheed... Mesuggah, maybe? Harken or Hakon. Stuff of that ilk.
Of course it is. It's all just a bit... silly.
This is true. And I like The National lol
Music is completely subjective. Some song I can't stand from a group I like may move someone else to tears.I feel like this leads to far less substantive discussions than the gaming opinions.
That's why Eurobeat was born.
- Forget EDM festivals, the only proper way to listen to house/techno/whatever the fuck is through your car's system as you tear down the interstate at 100 mph.
Dream Theater-My Bloody Valentine is one of the only bands I would call pretentious.
break up albums are universally shit and musicians should be banned from picking up a guitar or sitting down at a piano for at a minimum 6 months after they have a break up/divorce
Hell naw.No matter how you feel about Chris Brown, he's easily still the King of R&B and it isn't even close.
Nope....What if, and open your mind real wide now, people heard their songs and... liked them?
I hate Queen with a passion, but I would never presume anything about the people that like them.
The most utterly inane, arrogant and completely meaningless musical opinions are the one's where people conjure up the reasons others like something they don't. They have literally no grounding in anything approaching reality and say more about the person who spouts them off than anything else.

Thank you for the well wishes. I imagine though that if or when I answer to the Almighty, it won't be my opinions on music that will weigh heaviest in assessing the fate of my immortal soul.I understand what you're saying. I know about the effect of repetition. Yet still...
Opinions that generalise listeners as opposed to criticising the music itself lack any kind of substance. They are the height of conceit, betray the speaker's (likely) unfounded pretensions, and are an utterly meaningless avenue to explore.
May God have mercy on your soul.

The point I'm trying to make is that Radiohead do not make easily digestible radio hits. It follows therefore that they ought to be a niche act that gets spoken about in breathless whispers among musicians and a small cadre of devoted listeners but have little relevance in the mainstream. This is at odds with how big their following actually is.
However, they seem to have become some kind of shibboleth for cool kids in the 90s, so liking Radiohead became sort of mandatory for a whole generation. If you didn't like Radiohead, you weren't "in", and in a subculture where being "in" is everything, it meant that even if you heard their music the first time and hated it, you were damn well going to learn to like it.
Let It Be wasn't that great of an album aside from a few songs
The fuck is that supposed to mean? Where did I even mention Hopsin, or trash all of modern hip-hop as one homogenous sound, or even insinuate anything of the like? Corny is overused as FUCK in hip-hop discussions in place of actual legit critique and autotune does indeed suck butt, not to mention being beyond oversaturated at the moment. This is another incredibly annoying quality of current hip-hop discussions. You can't even criticize or dislike anything about the scene without getting bullshit "lol dusty old head" comments back.these two opinions together is beautiful. This is what being a Hopsin fan does to your brain.
This should not be controversial. Knocked Loose are amazing.Knocked Loose is one of the most interesting Hardcore bands in about a decade and are on the forefront of reviving the genre (along with bands like Vein and Turnstile, but I consider Knocked Loose a step above either of them).

Yes.Autotune hasn't been the problem with modern hip-hop in quite some time. In fact, a lot of artists don't rely on it in the same way they did 10 years ago--during the era where Kanye made a whole album in Autotune and T-Pain was on every track. What you're probably more annoyed about is the rise of "Soundcloud Rappers". The guys making sub-3 minute songs that are super repetitive and rely on catchiness more than anything.
Shouldn't be, but surprisingly they are a super divisive band in the Hardcore world. A lot of people accuse them of trying to "streamline" hardcore with a return from the DIY style back to well produced well crafted music. The reality is the bands I listed are the first "new" Hardcore bands that came up in a proper Hardcore scene in about 20 years, and they are making great music.
MBV kind of seemed a little bit too "high minded" for me when I heard about the "holocaust" section they do live. They essentially blow out feedback for up to a half hour as their closing song. Loveless is still a great album, but I just think super high-concept stuff like this is annoying haha (talking about what starts around 3:00):
That being said though, I'd probably still go to experience it if they came to my town. I can look past pretentiousness if I like the music enough.
Awww.I take it you haven't heard more than 3 metal songs in your life if you think that's all the lyrics talk about.

EDIT: You went to high school. You know how that works.
Metals like that. It's comedy music. Just a bit... silly. Doubly so when it takes itself seriously. It has nothing to do with whether it's good or bad and everything to with the pomp and trappings surrounding it.
This one is good. That's juicy. Woof.Weezer's The Blue Album is their only good album, but it's better than anything The Flaming Lips, Arcade Fire, Radiohead, or The Talking Heads ever released.
Jazz is the worst form of non-electronic music. Most of it is bordering on random notes at random intervals, and very limp notes and intervals at that. It defines style over substance.
Its earliest form, ragtime, is good though. And there is one jazz song I do like - it actually has melody and a consistent rhythm!
I don't think you've been exposed to a lot of metal bands or their music if you think they all have the same pomp and trappings around them, but you do you.
