Those are some of the main metal sub-genres, could name as many again if we're getting pedantic. Combine two or more of those names together I guarantee there will be at least a handful of bands playing it.

I take it back... Lady gaga is a true creative genius in her own right

to be honest, it is probably your lack of knowledge on the genre that means you can't appreciate the diversity and I really dont mean that in a dickish way at all, to anyone who actively listens to and enjoys metal I'm certain that they can identify how diverse those bands are, obviously there are going to be similarities in all of them otherwise they would be entirely different genres... to me it would be like saying you can't tell the difference between mala and skrillex becasue they both make electronic music at the same tempo, just because there are common trends doesn't mean there aren't also massive differences

i'm sure that speech wont help you see the difference so here is some battle metal...

Couldn't agree more, the same goes with a lot of music I guess. The only bands that have ever come close to metal that I like is At the drive-in or Rage,

Neither of whom i would consider to be metal (though they are both quality)

Quite like a bit of Black Metal to be honest, not so much into the whole Satan and Corpse Paint type stuff but some of the Dark Ambient/Black Metal hybrid stuff is actually pretty good.

METAL. I ironically was really into punk for a long time but metal always made me cringe

Rock as a whole is badass in my opinion, Download fest always has some awesome bands and sick vibes

used to like rock and metal to a massive degree but since getting into electronic music have lost interest. Do like some stuff though still on occasion.

This pretty much sums up my attitude to traditional 'rock' and pretty much all metal. I still occasionally enjoy some of the stuff I used to listen to, but a lot of it just seems a bit shit now.

Not to say that I don't like rock or guitar music. In fact I still really like a lot of stuff. But it's stuff that I wouldn't have been into back in the day. It probably mostly falls under 'indie'; a label which I think get an unfairly bad rep due to chart pop-indie trash like Kings of Leon, and the stnuc who are associated with Pitchfork which despite being sometimes a bit shite as far as reviewing goes, the content that they review is often pretty good.

I would say that House is the most diverse genre

I'd say hip hop is.

I'd say rap is okay at first, then that gets old and fucking boring so you move to hip hop, then you realize hip hop isn't doing anything new, just talks about the same shit on how "rappers on the radio aren't real" over and over again with 4 to five rhymes in one piece which makes no sense because they have no idea what the words even mean.

Anything that has to do with a bunch of rhyming without any sort of actual singing or without the "artist" playing an instrument while spitting a verse is just plain dull imo.

how many artists in dubstep play instruments?, you see the slippery slope you go down when you start making these types of comments?...and there is an artistry to 'spitting a verse'...you try doing it without sounding like a plum...

still, hip-hop is hardly the most diverse genre there has ever been

he's true to the music bruv, only bumps dubstep (and maybe a little dnb if he needs to get HYPED)

i'll ignore that sarcasm


and i don't listen to dnb neither


what i do like is

hip hop
rnb (not todays brand of it)
jazz
dubstep
grime
reggae
dancehall
jungle



electronic and guitar music aren't ALL of music

mmm...probably not, but it is extremely diverse...there's different styles of sounds in regions of america and around the globe, and thats not even including time periods... but i really don't want to get into it...cos its long lol


are you well versed in hip hop...cos you can't really say its not diverse without knowing anything other than MTV base lol

screamo. its ridiculous how bad that shit is

all i gotta say is

i feel bad for people who don't like metalocalypse simply because they don't understand the culture of metal

i used to be a bigtime metal head, can barely listen to it anymore (although i kept all my cds) and that show is HILARIOUS.

mashmash wrote:still, hip-hop is hardly the most diverse genre there has ever been

you clearly haven't listened to enough hip hop

i'll give just about anything a listen. not too keen on trance in any of its various forms though...

Everyone would get down to hard trance at a bumpkin free party in Norfolk, it's infectious.
