Top 10 Most Overrated Rock Subgenres
Rock while being a respected genre. Has a few overrated subgenres. None of these subgenres are bad they just get too much attention. Also I'll be including Metal subgenres because if it isn't obvious enough Metal is a subgenre of Rock.The English band, Venom is credited for laying the groundwork for Thrash Metal with their debut album "Welcome... read more
The most overrated rock subgenre. Not that bad but some of it are really generic. But most of the songs in this genre is really bland.
For me I only like a few bands from this genre Jimi Hendrix Experience and Pink Floyd are awesome and deserve praise for being groundbreaking
Other notable Heavy Metal bands include Judas Priest, Anthrax, Testament, System of a Down, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, Avenged... read more
I wouldn't say this is overrated, because most bands in this genre are awesome (Especially Dio, Post Ozzy Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Saxon,) and its influence another reason it deserves praise
Well Heavy Metal and Alternative Rock are the best Rock subgenres but both can be overrated.There are a lot of overrated bands in this genre but a lot of underrated ones too.-DarkBoi-X
I'm just going to say this you may not agree with me but the only band I would say is overrated in Death Metal is Cannibal Corpse only because their is much better bands out there, Death Metal is actually one of the most varied genres both lyrically and musically, There so many sub genres of death metal alone that it would take time to list them all, but the only share one thing: Death Growls I can understand if you don't like them Growls are a taste that takes time to get used to but once you do you'll see why people love this genre and I why I wouldn't call it overrated.
Don't get me wrong there are some really great artists which were/are a part of this genre. But I find the majority of this Subgenre's output to be quite boring. For me most Blues Rock just sounds like Standard Blues Music played with Electric Guitar, and Heavier Riffs, which gets really boring overtime to me. And is really not innovative at all. And I actually would say I enjoy/have more respect Stranded Blues Music more than Blues Rock(Not saying it's one of my favorite genres, but that's just how I feel). And for me to dig any Blues Rock, it often has to include elements of other Subgenres.
I find Prog genres to be underrated
