tbh metalcore and metal in general is 'mainstream' for teenagers and people of your age demographic. you think you're being different and going against the trend and all but metal in general has had a massive upsurge in 'cool' popularity since like - what? - the reinvention of straight-edge hardcore? moving into metalcore and deathcore and -core being appended to everything? you're hardly being subversive by listening to metal anymore.

besides that entire line of argument is pointless because whether or not it's 'mainstream' and 'popular', it's still undeniably bad.

Oh yea I know most "teens" and such listen to it, but I can't handle the mainstream metal, like Bullet For My Valentine for example.

I listen to stuff that most people have never heard of. Yet when I post a song that I'm listening to, I get criticized, stereotyped, etc. Hypocritically, I admit that I hate on rap and hiphop and all that "garbage", but I don't seek out a song that someone posts and hate on it.

edit: And don't think I take what a random person on an internet forum says to heart. It doesn't bother me, I just don't understand why when I post something, people instantly criticize it.

In your opinion it's bad, but to me, and other people as well, it is good music. Whereas when I hear rap and hiphop, I think it's "bad".

if someone posted a hiphop song here and you saw it, you'd hate. it shows up as a 'new post', you view, and you respond. that's all people are doing here. get over yourself, we're not part of some secret anti-metal anti-cryan brigade. b@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@W

so what the fuck are you crying about, cryan. hate on people that like underground hip-hop, non-mainstream hip-hop, and hip-hop that "most people have never heard of"... yet when people hate on your garbage, it's all WAHHHHHHHH DON'T POST IF YOU DON'T LIKE. you literally just made yourself completely redundant in about 3 posts, and we didn't even have to say/do anything. great job!

there is the subjective opinion.

some music is just definitively bad, i'm sorry, this boring lazy solipsistic argument about subjectivity goes nowhere.

Don't bother.
Last time i tried to get that point across it derailed a thread for 4 pages.

As for Ryan:
'You guys..

Guys...

Im going to post a song and, uhm...    Nothing but positive feedback, ok?

Guys...?'

I hope that you're aware of the fact that with every song you post you get critisism (especially with one as bad as what you posted) in 9/10 posts after (if you're lucky)
