Apart from the OP who said "People that confuse the two genres deserve to die in a fiery abyss. Every single time i listen to any form of metal there is always an asshole who asks me..."amoamaremetallum said:So I am being unreasonable by being upset by people's intolerance? I'm sorry but I really have to disagree with that statement. As many people have said, people mistake other genres as well, and I can't tell rap from hip hop. But I'll never know if people don't actually tell me. I accept they don't have to go "WARHRGRHAGRHRGAHRGAHGRHAG THATS NOT IT YOU STUPID IDIOT GET IT RIGHT YOUR A DISGRACE TOHUMANITY WHARGHRGAHRGAHRGAHRAH" but then again, that's not what we're doing here either...smithy_2045 said:Possibly, but people who are offended when someone says something is a genre which they disagree with deserve it.amoamaremetallum said:Okay, that was just REALLY unnecessary.smithy_2045 said:Anything that annoys metalheads is good in my book.
That does not strike me as tollerant.
OT: Who cares if someone mislabels the music you listen to? If you enjoy it then it doesn't matter. There is a lot more to my identity than my music tastes so it really doesn't bother me if someone says I listen to X when I feel its Y. I would only spend the time pointing out the differences in genre to someone who was genuinely interested and then I'm sure there would be some good natured disagreements as labels mean different things to different people.
There are bigger things in life, this is not worth getting bent out of shape over.
