Metal is not "Screamo"

I can't stand most metal anyway.
It's because it all sounds exactly the same. To me it is just a very loud incoherent noise.

. You can't kill the metal any of it.OT: I don't mind when people mix up subgenre but when people mislabel a whole genre AND hold it in a negative light with no formed opinion it does annoy me.
I do agree with you on that nitpicking on the specific genres is irritating and unnecessary, but screamo is a very condescending term that just insults us.Zekksta said:
I dunno why metal heads get so upset about the use of 'Scremo' out of context, they aren?t exactly angels themselves
I think when metal heads throw about a meaningless label like 'indie' (Seriously what does it even mean these days?) simply just to peg it onto bands they don't like or they feel aren?t 'Hardcore' enough, I think that's 100x worse and almost every metal head i know does this. I mean I?ve had people tell me that Colplay and Biffy Clyro are 'indie' before... i mean really? I don't even like either of them and i feel that's an injustice to them both.
Eye for an eye lads, eye for an eye

Well, most people who don't listen to/understand metal are people who think it is nothing but reckles yells and unsophisticated bashing on guitars, when most of it is actually considered an art. There are people who spend hours a day trying to perfect their riffs and tap melodies and other stuff which requires WAY more skill than some popular genres of today.
Screamo is used (it really doesn't mean it) to the point WITH THAT BELIEF that metal is nothing but horrible bashing and wailing, that everyone who uses the word 'screamo' thinks metal is 'see above'.
I'm not trying to get in an argument or anything, but how would you like it if you spent 10 years learning how to play guitar masterfully and joining a band and creating EXTREMELY complex music, only to be insulted by a teen who hasn't listened to your music or taken the time to properly understand?
Get used to it. I know it's annoying as hell, but well... Might as well deal with the incompetence of this century at once. It's a natural thing in our world, really. As for the people who call metal "noise" or screamo, please learn the difference between the genres. I don't go around insulting whatever music you like, so don't insult mine. Is that too much to ask? Learn the difference. Peace.
I've not found any metal I enjoy listening to. I've tried a wide variety, though I couldn't tell you the name of the bands because I've long forgotten them.
By who? Hardcore means hardcore punk to me. So I think of Minor Threat, early Husker Du, Black Flag, Bad Brains, and many others that mostly came from within or right around the 80s.SovietX said:
I can't stand this metalcore/screamo shit. I'm into epic, black, heavy, classic metal, etc. So, therefore, I define any metal that I dislike at screamo, if only to make people whose opinion differs from mine angry.
