Stupidest Reason to Hate a Metal Band

Elitists hate bands for this reason.

Metallica is popular, and they are still making good music to this day.

Liking Metallica or Avenged Sevenfold does not make you a poser.

No, people don't hate them for where they are from. Some people actually ignore them. For example, Fokofpolisiekar is a great African band. I don't understand their language either, but I like their music. People don't hate them. They simply ignore them.

Would somebody seriously hate a band for a reason like this? It's their music that counts - all decent bands deserve to be appreciated, no matter where they come from.

Just because Pantera is from the South of the USA doesn't mean they are a bad band.

Indeed. A genre label like heavy metal doesn't exactly scream soft and quiet, now does it?

Being painfully loud is a brain-numbing cover for crappy music.

Every music artist under the sun, even the best ones, has created songs some people may not like.

This is silly. Popular kids are renowned for liking generic music. Why would you choose to like generic music because of kids you won't be hanging out with ten years from now?

A bad band name doesn't mean bad music. Don't judge a book by its cover, after all.

This is a very stupid reason to hate a band.

My friend doesn't know who Megadeth is, and he gives me a weird look whenever I'm listening to them.

Some people hate Metallica just because they kicked Dave Mustaine out of the band.

It depends - if they changed their sound for the better, it is stupid to hate them.

Just because Metallica changed their sound doesn't mean the Black Album, Load, and Reload are bad albums.

Yes, there is no need to judge a band because of their image created by online haters and the media.

This goes for Glam Metal and Black Metal bands.

What happened to "don't judge by looks?"

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine may be controversial for his opinions, but that doesn't take away from his musicianship, for example.
