There is no style of music which does not have a strong contingent following on MA. Everything overlaps somewhere.

I created a second user on my computer so I could open up a new iTunes. I'm adding all of my non-metal music into the iTunes, and foobar2000 (for the lossless files). I even set up a scrobbler and everything for last fm. I was getting overwhelmed trying to wade through mountains of metal albums in my folders to get to non-metal albums.

I feel like for the past year or two metal has completely dominated my time, and my music preference. I want to have metal be separate from the other music, because there's something about metal that's 'different' than other music. Getting into metal only leads to more metal. All of the genre is kind of closed off from other music. There's hardly any noticeable influence with a metal band that doesn't come from other metal bands. That's not a bad thing, but it doesn't help when I want to be into more music than just metal.

Although I love the genre, and I feel like I've dug so deep, I found gems that only the extremely hardcore, such as a lot of the users on this site (I presume), and myself only into. My idea is to start with a clean slate, except I can still come back to my old library any time I want. I barely have any non-metal albums to listen to. I think seeing them all in iTunes already makes it a lot clearer, and it will be easier for my eyes and mind to fill in the blanks once I get to finding new, non-metal albums to add to the library.

Damn after reading this page I remembered that MA has a surprisingly extensive rap fan base. I always usually thought the two genres had opposing fans or something but I guess not.

No one likes crunkcore. No one.

However, I do not feel anger when listening that song, merely bewilderment that a group of people could actually make that incoherent and chopped together a song.

This on the other hand pisses me off in every single way possible. I HATE this band. I hate their music. I hate their douchebag looking white guy with dreads guitarist, I hate their big tit mascot singer, I hate that they are singlehandedly the biggest setback to women in metal music possibly ever, I just hate every single fucking thing about this band.

You guys laugh now, but you just wait until Thumbs Up Get Down reaches viral popularity. My buddy stumbled across this today and it's a comedy goldmine, the fact that it has less than three thousand views is something of a bittersweet tragedy. Yeah, great this hasn't become popular or the new thing people try to rip off, but so many people are being deprived of the hilarity. A few choice words from my friends:

"The singer looks like he steals his mom's wine coolers"
"They literally have a guy who screams for ten seconds and that's it?"
"This is literally the worst breakdown ever, it's like a Ke$ha song"
"it's not that bad"

The band describes their genre as "Boston Best Friend-based Dance-Core".

You're welcome.

EDIT: I also love how there's a keyboard part, but the dude just sits behind a laptop and doesn't actually play any keys. CLASSIC

That was truly awful. This is the kind of stuff Metal Hammer has a hard on for, I'm certain of it.

No no no. No more terrible music. If you all want to get your ears raped by music, let it be good music?

I promised I would not publicly mention Metantoine's secret invite-only waltz, polka and klezmer subforums hidden on this very board. I might break that promise soon.

Holy shit, are you ever not painfully wrong?
