Top 10 Most Overhated Rock Subgenres
Rock is a very well known music sub genre. It also has it share of genres that gets unfair amounts of hate for the most idiotic and stupid reasons. I will include Metal genres because Metal is a subgenre of Rock."This is the worst music genre ever" is something I hear about this genre, and its nowhere near that
Because of Nickelback and Creed
I bet that if it wasn't labeled as glam "metal," it wouldn't get half the hate
I think this genre deserves to be hated on it... especially with the awful growls that plague it.
You know, people (even some metalheads) complain about "satanic"
Nu metal is one of those genres that have some metal but usually not metal. I don't consider Linkin Park or Evanescence "metal," but Slipknot and Mudvayne are pretty metal.
Regardless, metal or not, I think nu metal sounds nice
Why does everyone seem to hate nu metal (and metalcore)? For starters, nu metal is clearly a legitimate metal genre, based on its obvious heaviness - it may not be as heavy as death metal or even as thrash metal, but it’s at least heavier than traditional heavy metal. And it legitimately has a cool sound. What’s there to hate?
Its among my favorite genres in general. But I do see why people don;t refer to it as a Metal genre.
I would say to merge Nu Metal, Alternative Metal and some Post-Grunge, and have an end result in "Hard Alternative". It is Alternative Rock with traces of Heavy Metal, but to ensure that people don't get picky, give it back its original name. Hard Alternative seem more accessible if you ask me.
Hey, rap rock can be lit. RATM has some badass riffs and stuff. And as much as I hate to say it, even Limp Bizkit (despite being extremely cheesy) has some catchy beats.
Kind of like nu metal, both of which are considered "mallcore" by many
