Top Ten False Stereotypes About Music Genres

"All metal is satanic" is a better example of a false stereotype about music. The idea that classical music is boring is just an opinion, not a false statement. People who don't like it could still acknowledge the talent involved in composing classical music. Maybe it just takes time to appreciate it.

I'm not a fan of classical music, but I wouldn't call it boring. It's just music, and it's still better than modern pop and rap, in my opinion.

The Austrian concert on New Year's Day IS extremely boring, and that's the only classical music some people listen to.

My god, this stereotype is annoying. Do you really think I sacrifice animals in the night just because I listen to Iron Maiden? When will people realize that research is a person's best friend?

Actually, very few metal bands are Satanic. The ones that are usually belong to a subgenre called black metal, which is a very underground genre that most people have never heard of.

This is not true. Not all metal singers or bands are Satanic. Only a very few are like that.

Also, classical music being boring is just an opinion, not a fact.

Who the hell would make up this dumb stereotype? Whoever did probably listens to mainstream pop and rap, which are the actual talentless genres.

Whoever invented this stereotype is literally deaf and stupid. How is playing a guitar talentless? Some people sing and play complex riffs at the same time, lol. Rock and metal are the best genres, and by far the most talented people are here.

If you really think this, then you're an idiotic hipster who loves modern music and thinks they're cool for it.

Basically, the only rap music I constantly hear on the radio and from peers is about controversial topics. That said, there are some songs in this genre that, despite profanity, don't have bad meanings. And there are others that are clean in every aspect, even with hidden meanings.

Jesus Christ, I don't even like rap that much, but to say that every rap song is about meaningless garbage is very close-minded. Not all of it is Lil Uzi Vert-type trash. Old-school rap actually has pretty meaningful lyrics sometimes. Just listen to some of Tupac's music.

If pop can be called music, without any actual effort put into it, then the talented people who play metal deserve to have their masterpieces called music too.

Why? I mean, it's played with real instruments, and not all metal is satanic and screaming.

Metal is actually pretty cool, and it's definitely music.

If you think this, you've only listened to today's pop music. Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston exist. They are the King and Queen of Pop.

Half of the pop singers today are bad. The other half are good. That's just my opinion.

Not all pop music is bad. And Michael Jackson isn't the only good pop artist.

This is not true! A common stereotype is that if you listen to "emo" music or you're an "emo," you're depressed. But that is not true. Yes, lyrics in these bands' songs can get very deep, and yes, the former lead vocalist of My Chemical Romance had depression, and that's where some lyrics come from. But everyone can enjoy deep and meaningful music. Sometimes, if you listen to these songs, you develop a new opinion on stereotyped "emo" music, as well as important topics such as depression and anxiety.

I understand where this stereotype originated, but I just don't understand why people still believe it. You should never assume something about an individual based on the genre or artist they appreciate. I have never felt depressed, but I still listen to My Chemical Romance. It's natural in life to branch out and find artists like them. It's also natural to be influenced by the lyrics and actions of a band, but that doesn't mean you're defined by them.

Pop haters, sorry, but you can get a pop music sketching and coloring book. And no, I have not confused it with pop art. That would be you.

I thought you meant the animal, but now I get it. A sheep is a person who fits in and acts like a mindless clone.

Not true at all. I'm a teenager, but I still prefer classic rock over today's so-called music!

For the last time, emo bands and the subculture, in general, do not support or encourage cutting. While some people may cut, it has nothing to do with the music, and we recognize it as an issue.

First things first, that's incredibly sexist.

Secondly, I'm male, and I enjoy pop music quite a lot. So do other boys in my year level.

Unless you're talking about Lisa Simpson. Plus, she's very miserable 24/7.
