When I say "everything" I mean that I don't have a specific list of genres I listen to. I can listen to any kind of music as long as it's to my liking and it does not matter if it's dead metal or k-pop or classical... Every genre has a lot of stuff I like and a lot of stuff I hate.
Or something like Vatstep DSP by Hrvatski because nobody realizes they wanted to hear Stephen Hawking be the lead singer for an experimental electronic music band
As other people have stated, their live shows sucked for a while because they were so trashed playing really complicated stuff and it sounded awful, that's why I really don't like them for the most part. Secondly, I love metal, but their stuff is way over produced imo. Really talented musicians when they want to be tho so I respect that.
I like metal. I don’t like discussing metal. I tell people I listen to everything, but what it literally means is I’m not offended by anything you play.
I have a friend who isn't into metal. All his friends are into metal though, but he isn't. So when we all talk about metal, he always brings up that one band he knows.
Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Testament, and some Pantera. People online shit all over them for whatever reasons. Megadeth and Pantera, I get. Lead singers are both assholes.
You're just... into heavy metal. And that's fine. And I'm surprised you can't discuss of those bands with fellow metalheads. In my experience, they're often liked and held in great reverence.
Because the average person's ego is made up mostly of things they identify against, which makes them too scared and too stupid to understand stuff that's creative and awesome.
One of my coworkers told me once that she gives vague answers like "I listen to everything" because she doesn't want to talk about music with people. She was like "no one knows the obscure Korean pop I'm listening to so I just don't want to go into it".
Which I kind of get. She put some thought into it and it was a tactical answer.
I just say "all kinds of stuff. Depends on my mood." Sometimes I like wacky metal, sometimes I'm over it. Same goes for outlaw country or hip hop or punk or whatever.
Yeah, same for me. I listen to a little bit of everything. Indie songwriter, post rock, Finnish folk, post metal, speed metal, Japanese pop, Japanese folk, the list goes on. So I usually just say "depends on my mood".
I'd love to hear about her obscure K-pop, or your strange south American alternative, or whatever really, I'm never gonna say no to at least learning about it and hearing it out, if I don't like it I'll just not listen to it again.
This is kinda the situation for me. I don't listen to any one particular kind of music and I don't want to get sucked into a conversation about whatever genre you have decided to pigeon hole yourself into and are clearly gearing up to vomit all over me.
This is similar to my strategy when I was little, like 4-6 years old, whenever anyone asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. The truth was I didn't know, but if I said that, the asker would keep pestering me with stuff like "what about a policeman or a fireman or doctor" etc etc etc and I knew I didn't want to be any of those- so I would say "a chicken" and they would assume I was brain damaged and leave me alone.
