Metal music are things such as blood on the dance floor, my chemical romance, pierce the veil, sleeping with sirens, falling in reverse, and black veil brides

A shitty form of popular music on which virtually all subgenres rely on the 'as long as it sounds catchy' philosphy. Truly, atrocious popular youthmusic from which the listeners actually think its underground. A few subgenres that do not apply to that rule are technical metal, math metal and black metal
Metal relies on simple musical theory. Simple rithms, and certainly does not ask much virtuosis from the perform artist as well as compositional ability from the composer.
Some genres that would rise above this atrocity that is metal would be:
dark noise
tech trance
europian classical music
psybient
Metaller: I listen to metal, I'm so underground.
Me: Inferiour troglodyte. What does it matter if you are underground? and let me tell you that you are not. Everyone knows your Children of Bodom and your Dry Kill Logic.

Any band who uses an electric guitar as the main melodic instrument must be considered metal, thus making Jimi Hendrix the godfather of the genre. Clearly metal originates from rock and blues Judas Priest, Overkill but traces from atonal jazz Morbid Angel and punk Metallica are also to be found. Acoording to this definition nu-metal and rap metal and all that new shit qualifies as metal...yes but not a very listen-worthy kind.
These bands are clearly for kids but hey..I love kids and I started off with listening to Nirvana and the black album myself, so who can blame them ?
To those people who so clearly dislikes this lovely genre i can only say: go kill yourself with an xtacy overdose...please!
Jimi - Iron Butterfly - Black Sabbath - MotΓΆrhead - Metallica - Slayer - Kreator - Morbid Angel-Deicide - Vital Remains - Decapitaded - Krisiun

Apparently, i don't know what metal is, according to all of you. I listen to heavy metal, and I consider bands such as Slipknot, Atreyu, In flames, Shadows Fall metal, but some of you seem to think that they are "posers" I classify metal in two catagories: Heavy Metal and old school metal. heavy would be the above mention bands and old school would be Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Van Halen, stuff from the 70's. yeah, back in thier heyday they were the most metal shit you could find. But the definition of metal has changed over the years, and if you compare Zeppelin to Slayer, there's quite a difference, and for good reason. heavy metal is rocking out, and just having a good time and being you. Old school metal was about acid trips and pink bunnies in the air, while screwing a groupie or two. Times have changed and definitions are rewritten over time, and you gotta understand that.
Metal: Slipknot, System of a Down(kinda), Atreyu, Slayer, Meshuggah, Hatebreed
old school Metal: Pink floyd, Van Halen, Led Zepplin, Queen
