Ska (glorified circus music)

Dude, I remember ska (the real popular groups) back when it was actually popular a decade ago and it is most certainly circus music. It's the official music of Bozo the clown. :P

Metal isn't that diverse. There are subtle differences amongst the subgenres but it's pretty clear when you hear it that it's metal.

[QUOTE="luke1889"] Oh pish posh. :P Generic, cagey comment: you've just not listened to the right sort. :o Only a small proportion is as you perceive it. Just 'cause it's got horns in it doesn't make it "glotified circus music". :PMarioRPGer

This is nothing like this

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]

[QUOTE="DivergeUnify"] saying groove metal or heavy metal is subtly differently from death metal or black metal is plainly ignorant

Yep. Not that much of a difference between those two dude.

LJS9502_basic

Broken (Power Metal band Sonata Arctica)

The Cereal Mouse (Technical Progressive Metal band Spastic Ink)

A Divine Proclomation of Finishing... (Goregrind/Brutal Death Metal band Last Days of Humanity)

De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (Black Metal band Mayhem)

Svart Jup (Folk Metal band Finntroll)

Not a big difference you say? There's enough of a difference to justify their seperation, that's for sure.

Inspired means influenced by....it's not totally different. Metal is still metal at the basic level...otherwise it wouldn't be groove METAL but would have a different classification. Metalcore is punk meets metal. Metal is a guitar driven genre with pounding drums, amplified distortion, guitar solos etc, The subgenres developed off a common sound and still have it's DNA as it were. And I'm not ignorant. Ignorant means lack of knowledge. I have listened....do listen to almost all genres of music and was probably listening to metal before you listened to music. I consider that comment an insult.

I disagree with you but not once have I resorted to calling you ignorant. Now perhaps since those songs are SO different you will enlighten us to which does not sound like metal. Because if you say they sound like metal...you are agreeing with me that the differences are subtle. Not genre redefining.

The Cure sounds just like any other rock band out there. Only subtle differences here, my friends.

I'm just going to jump in here and post a metal song that doesn't fit any of the above mentioned descriptions except basic guitar and dums.

What music do you hate?

For me, I hate thrash metal (Metallica), death metal, black metal, rap, techno, and country.

I didn't call him anything. I said he hasn't heard them if he thinks they fit those genres.:roll:

LJS9502_basic

Perhaps you should look up the word ignorant :|

Well since you are a bit more reasonable....in regard to the original statement that metal is the most diverse. Metal has a core sound that is present in all subgenres...no? Notice I didn't say no difference...I said subtle. That is where the subgenres come in. But overall I don't think anyone will mistake a metal song....no matter the subgenre....for anything but metal.LJS9502_basic

Well, I guess from a general point of view that would be correct. However, like with every genre there are numerous outliers that are far more common in metal than it may seem. There are self-proclaimed metal bands that play music people have trouble classifying as anything, metal or not. From piano, to classical instruments, to folk instruments, the genre has a lot of variety on an instrumental compared to other genres, leading to different composition/songwriting techniques. Metal has a lot of variety in it's subgenres, perhaps it still won't appeal to a non-metal fan (on a sidenote there's a band in every genre that's worth listening to, it's all a matter of finding them) but on it's own it still is one of the most diverse.

Subtle differences. Not major. Why is that metal fans get all offended at PERCEIVED insults to what they like. Music does not exist in a vacuum. It's classified for specific reasons and it builds off other styles. Metal is a part of the rock genre....but that gets metal fans upset as well. I don't get it.

Of course there's similarities. It's all alternative rock. Or whatever HIM is....

I have rather cosmopolitan tastes in music. I listen to many varieties in several languages.

About the only thing I can not take is Dixieland.

I have also had my fill of big band because that is all my dad will listen to ... day and night.

Constant 30s and 40s stuff drives me up the wall.

iowastate

I was coming in here expecting the usual answers... rap, country, metal, pop, whatever... but dixieland is suprising. I like early jazz stuff like ragtime and dixieland but must admit I love the later stuff like bebop, cool, etc. a lot more...
