Unpopular Opinions You Hold About Music

Oh, and I like Forever the Sickest Kids.  Yeah I know, stupid name, but I like them.  And Jimmy Eat World.

And that one All American Rejects album from about 2005(the one that has "Dirty Little Secret" and "Move Along") is pretty good.

If the two best songs of the 90s were really "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "One", then it was a worse decade than I thought.

Sorry, watching VH1 again.

If you like Pop-Punk, IMO, MxPx is still one of the best. Life In General is better than any album in the genre for the last 15 or so years.

I also like Jimmy Eat World, but only Clarity and Bleed American. They got bland after that and their first album is lame.

[Commode]

I do really like Life in General. MxPx is pretty good.

Burzum is the only thing that I would deem as "alternative" music. That is all.

[Commode]

Isn't that metal?

[Dr. Insomniac]

Isn't that metal?

I calls 'em as I sees 'em.

Well Varg did use a lot of synths in their later music, especially with the stuff he released in prison.

[Foggle]

What about stuff like Mr. Bungle? Or would that be experimental? I can never keep up with these weird newfangled genres.

Also, THD is apparently considered experimental rock/alternative hip-hop. Okay.

I can't get into mathcore for the life of me. To the point where I don't even think that it's music, just nonsense.

That's how badly I don't understand it.

[Foggle]

If a genre has an unintelligible name (i.e. mathcore, shoegaze, dronoise, etc.), I probably don't like it.

It's when heavy music becomes more about technicality than an actual song that I zone out. It's why I can't stand letting my friend drive anymore. Insanely technical bands are all he listen to anymore, and it bugs the shit out of me. Playing as fast and with as much complexity as possible, with unintelligible cookie monster vocals... ugh. Not for me.

[Foggle]

I just like music that sounds good tbh.

[Dr. Insomniac]

I just like music that sounds good tbh.

Yeah, pretty much.

[Avaitor]

I mean, I don't mind technicality if it's done well. Tech death is my favorite style of death metal (well actually, death fusion is, but they kinda run together), and if a musician can pull it off, go as crazy as you wanna.

But while death metal is about passion, mathcore is NOTHING but screaming and wankery, which is probably why its appeal runs so thin for me.
