Worst Things About Metalheads/Elitists

The Top Ten
1 They can't respect opinions

All the metalheads I know don't have a problem with other genres and many even like some pop songs. In every genre there are going to be those few stubborn people. Yes, there will be some metalheads who hate everything else because "metal uses instruments", but many people have told me metal is garbage and not even music. Whether you like it or not, that's different, but to make metal music you need to understand musical theory and there is still melody. It's definitely music, at least. This list is incredibly biased. All of these points can go both ways other than some metalheads not appreciating other types of metal.

@WonkeyDude98 - man, you are totally wrong: "metalheads like you can't accept the fact that some people like pop". There are no such signs on my lists so please, don't attribute to me things that aren't mine. I accepted this fact and I'm OK with it. I never made any single list about "Worst Things About Pop Fans, Pop music" or similar. I even defended Adele several times, when a pop & rap fan wrote about her "Ugly, fat, can't sing" - I'm not her fan but she can sing and I appreciate talented people from all genres.

I like rock and metal and I'm okay with pop fans. What does bother me though, is when you go to a public place and the DJs play nothing but modern pop and rap. They should at least add more variety.

I love metal, but there is no point bashing other people just because they like a genre of music you don't like. To be honest, I dislike pop, but do I bash other people? no.

2 They can't accept good pop music

I defended several times Adele, Whitney Houston, Adam Lambert and Jackie Evancho when pop & rap fans attacked them. I did it because I appreciate their singing talent (I'm not a typical fan of theirs, it's different). And I even defended somebody without a big talent in a context that wasn't music-related: I said Justin Bieber is overhated and it's immature to think he is the most evil person in history - more evil than Hitler, Stalin, etc. I'm not his fan but I try to be unbiased and reasonable.

There is no "good" pop music! There is no "bad" pop music either! It's all about preference. Of course it's amazing though, because one random guy likes it so therefore it is the only good music on earth regardless of others' opinions. Well using this bs logic, some people can't accept "GOOD" metal music. Incredibly biased.

I listened to Adele once and it sucked. Jackie Evancho is probably some gay singer who has no life and Michael Jackson is overrated but not complete garbage.

@Swellow
Says the person who calls out literally every Adele hater out there

Also I don't mean every metal fan, I like metal too, I just mean the elitists

3 They don't ever really use reasoning

This is ridiculous. This entire list is disrespectful to the metal culture. In every single genre, there will be some fan who's incredibly stubborn and never uses reasoning. There is NO better music. It all depends on opinion. It's true that instruments don't make a song automatically good, but it's perfectly okay to prefer music for reasons like that. Just because ProPanda met one stubborn metalhead doesn't make all metalheads high and mighty idiots.

Pop artists just do things for popularity and the fans only like what's popular and trendy and they rely on their looks to become popular and have no talent and don't even try to make good music. When a retard wrote a song about a fox, he didn't even care if people liked the song or not and just did it to become popular.

Some pop artists have talent, however, some of them are famous for no good reason like Jacob Sartorious. I do not like pop nowadays because to me it is not appealing. I also do not like it when pop artists cannot sing live.

Well, they do display certain traits and behaviors associated with cult religion.

4 They say false things

Pop actually requires some talent and producing, metal requires instruments to play, which is talent as well. But I do not like it when some pop artists only are famous for their looks, yet they do not have vocals, not all pop artists are like that though. It is also not appealing to me anymore, we are all different. Most pop songs are about sex, but not all pop songs are about sex.

It's been only 2 days. and the list is already on the hottest list page. I can see that, the arguments will increase

Um what is it that metalheads say that's false exactly?

"Like what? " Like when they insist metal is music.

5 They are ignorant

How is liking Metal music ignorant exactly?

Not all are ignorant, it's just some are.

6 They criticize other metalheads for certain types of Metal they listen to

Personally, I hate nu metal and metalcore for example. I won't deny that. But it's still metal and different people like different things and I respect that. The metalheads who do criticize other metal are pretty stubborn.

Pretty much the only reason on here, that is a valid reason, because it is based upon metalheads. The other reasons are overgeneralizations that pretty much can apply to every genre.

I get that sometimes Metalheads could be jerks to fans of other genres. But like all assembly lines their's bound to be a malfunctioning product somewhere along.

Not really. I like A7X. And once I asked MT why they aren't a metal band? he described it to me. And said something like that "Just because they aren't metal doesn't mean they are not good". I don't like black metal. But I've never bashed someone for loving it.

Some do, others don't as for me I say whatever rocks your boat.

7 They troll the internet

@Bored Jeffery obviously that was a troll list because no music genre more talented than another. Get your head out of the clouds and stop with the inaccurate comparison.

This is valid how?

8 They are hypocrites

DonaldThe Brony Trump, I don't ask metal fans to respect pop fans. If the pop fan is a horrible person, they lose my respect (which, trust me, is hard). I just want them to respect the opinion trhat people can like pop music too. I respect metal fans, as I am one too (I know, I can like both genres, isn't it shocking! )

Yo visitor, how am I a hypocrite, please tell me, I always need ways to improve

Like this list isn't hypocritical?

9 They call pop fans immature for their own opinions

Enough of the nonsense that "most" metalheads do these things. How many have you met? 2? Just because you met one horrible person that happens to like metal, doesn't make metalheads all evil people. This is very similar to racism, for example. Just because some terrorists attack in the name of Islam, of course, ALL muslims are evil! So one metalhead hurts someone's feelings, of course, ALL metalheads are stubborn brutes!

I admit I used to like pop, even last year. But this year is the year I do not like pop anymore. However, calling all pop fans immature is biased. Not all pop fans are immature.

I don't call some Pop fans immature for their opinions I call some Pop Fans immature based on their constant lashing out when you criticize a overrated pop artist.

Well, most metalheads do do this, and most of them are immature, so what's your point

10 They are immature

This is perhaps the most relevant complaint on this list. They tend to be mired in obsessive, worshipful minutiae, such as actually measuring the length of "screams," overemphasizing speed and "complexity" as somehow related to musicality or instrumental prowess; waxing authoritative on what is "difficult" to play, when they've never even blown a kazoo; endless, unsolicited, irrelevant tutorials on trivia regarding metal "musicians," their kids, their pets, their ignorant politics, their "socially conscious causes"...all in attempt to convince someone (likely themselves) that their "genre" is not only "classical," but somehow superior. It's all a crushing bore.

Of course, some are. But then there are the Bieber fans who claim he's the best artist of all time because he looks pretty. I don't even have anything against Bieber, I don't care about him, but there are fans of every single genre that are full of crap.

@ Metal Treasure no one was saying you're immature, but now you're acting like children that are in Middle school. Dude there are other things to be worried about than arguing with a 8th grader.

Not all Metalheads are immature, honestly Pop fan are rarely mature. Especially if you bash Taylor Swift they'll go nuts. Honestly Pop fans can be even more immature then Metalheads.

The Contenders
11 They are annoying

Name one music fanbase that isn't?

Goes without saying.

12 They think it's bad if you like both Metal and Pop
13 They think they are smarter than everyone else
14 They're too picky
15 They slut-shame and use absolutely sexist and misogynistic language at female pop stars.
