    Been a metalhead for nearly a decade. Usually, I listen to thrash, but lately I've been getting into Floridian Death Metal, namely Death and Cannibal Corpse.

    Also, I'd disagree with art rock being the same as prog rock. For instance, I'd say a band like The Mars Volta (prog rock) is vastly different from a band like TV on the Radio (art rock).

    Also, I love ska, but it would be unfair to judge it as punk since that's really only 3rd wave.

    Meh, who am I kidding, arguing about genre is just about one of the silliest discussions you can have when talking about music.

    "I think your missing my point.

    Maybe it's because I dislike Punk, but it's just bland to me. Metal, I never said didn't try anything new, it just does not appeal to me the slightest, it may be safe to say I hate it the most out of all of them (Though Ozzy osbourne can be ok in small bits.)

    Regarding emo kids, yeah, I'm being a bit snarky, but whatever, Emo sucks."


    First of all, you do NOT know what emo is.

    Example emo bands: Rites of Spring, Sunny Day Real Estate, Moss Icon, Orchid, Antioch Arrow, etc.

    They don't exist anymore, of course. People barely know those bands. Yes, I listen to both Rites of Spring and SDRE.

    I listen to them all.

    About your comment on metal. How can you say it isn't melodic? It has undertyings to classical music. Which it why is so easy for these orchestra's to convert it over.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    Some forms are. You could tell, becuase of genres like: Melodic Death Metal. Some others are more chaotic and "noisy" ("Brutal" metal).

    There was an orchestra who played Metallica songs. I dislike Metallica, but it's pretty cool hearing metal tunes from cellos and violins. A nice, fresh concept. =]

    I know what Emo is, I'm simply poking harmless fun. I like emo kids, I just dislike their music and Alex Evans.

    I voted alternative but I couldn't pick "soft rock" or "college rock."

    I don't like death metal and headbanger stuff. It gives me a headache.
