A lot of gamers seem to like metal where im from. So do I.
We had a discussion about it the other day.......
We've all been influenced by 8- and 16bit game tunes.....a lot of wich are basicly metal-songs.
performed by a 4bit synthesizer.
Just a thought.

Because, and this isn't trying to be racist at all, but most people who are black like Rap/hip hop, and most white people like metal music. Don't believe me, attend a concert for each, you'll see a larger number of white people at metal and black at hip hop. Most people who are into hip hop are also more sexually active, because watch the dances. Hip hop and rap is a lot about the erotic dances between people, where metal is about beating the shit out of each other. Thus, gamers.
Also, when you play games, you're killing things or fighting things in almost every video game. Metal music is perfect for those games, where as playing hip hop isn't as, battlely feeling. I'd rather kill my opponent while listening to a head banging solo than listening to the same beat repeated over and over and some guy rich enough to put it's entire audience to shame acting like he knows what it's like to be a gansta in the hood livin' off scraps and fighting for everything.
I like any kind of music except Rap, the falseness and just the obnoxiousness of the beat turn me off that (as well as techno)

Looks to be a good one.
On topic: I mainly listen to metal, but to be honest if I don't have control of the music I shall listen to it.
When it comes to metal however theres a few things I get annoyed by: the elitism of some metal heads ("Ugh you listen to they're not metal, you're shit") And boy bands that parade as metal bands (for example Linkin Park)
I for one hate metal I just bothers me. I also have a very eclectic taste in music but there are still things I dislike. I'm in the minority by liking Green Day and other such punk groups (Yes I count them as punk) However, I'm still a hardcore gamer and my music taste comes from my up bringing and my punk life style. My gaming and my musical taste come from two different parts of my life. As I like to say I'm a punk-geek.sketchesformysweet said:
As for why I think most gamers like metal well I guess it seems to fit the life style though I sadly know few gamers in my personal life. But also take note the the Escapist for some odd reason is full of metal heads. The few gamers I do know like a mix of music like me with metal in the mix.
I have a friend who will only listen to Gogol Bordello and The Hush Sound.
Another who is a trance head
Another who is strictly emo (but the emo from the 90s and early 2000, it matters to him) and the most metal he gets is his CDs of Coheed and Cambria
And another that is so punk he bleeds blue collars.
So no. I think metal generates more with internet forum junkies since it is easier to spread and people don't step in just to say it is just noise...as much.

I love jazz-fusion, hip-hop, drum'n'bass, metal, anything good really, although I do get the feeling there is a large group of gamer/metalheads.
Yeah, I've noticed that too. Myself, I'm not really into metal, but then again I don't go around calling myself "gamer".
I despise that self-imposed label.
No offense.

I always listen to DnB and dubstep and stuff when on console but when I'm on PC I can listen to anything. Like start from J-pop and work my way to speedcore (Which I would never listen to by itself)
I do enjoy my share of metal, but I'm more into J-pop and J-rock. I don't actually know why I enjoy it so much, I just do.

No seriously, that's not what I meant. It's more about the labeling than about the actual word making up the label. But it's personal preference and probably not very wise to go into on a gaming forum.
But I play games, lots of them. I'm just not going to identify myself with it, because of the danger of justified over-indulgence. And escapism is a bit of a slippery slope, for me at least.
Anyway, that's neither here nor there.
I'm one of those douches that likes Radiohead.
