Top 10 Most Overused Rock & Metal Stereotypes
Rock & Metal two popular music genre have quite a lot of overused stereo types. For this list I`m counting down the most overused stereo types of both genres. NOTE: I don't believe in these stereo types but I`m rather against them hence why the word overused is in the list. If there's any stereo types I forgot add them.Neither genres are sexist and stop making this stereo type a thing.
If anything, hip hop is far more sexist.
Where did this even come from?
All stereotypes make me LOL every time I see them. About this one, guess what: screamo isn't a metal subgenre, it's a punk subgenre - screamo is a subgenre of emo and emo is a style of post-hardcore that emerged from hardcore punk. There's no metal in this, it's punk-based but people think it's metal because of the stereotype - metal is the genre with screaming.
Of course metal isn't just screaming but metal singers use screams to express emotions. And what's so wrong with that? The Beatles are praised for their screaming!
Actually if you bothered to listen to the genre there's more to it then just screaming...
Definitely not. The metal bands that I listen to don't contain screamo.
Only 4 types of people would say that metal is talentless: ignorant, biased, delusional and jealous. Actually there is a "visitor" of this site who is a combination of these 4 - he wrote the dumbest comments on my lists. Many users (not only metal fans) hate him for a reason.
Really? Last I checked trying to play "Master of Puppets" took actual talent.
Wait, people are actually delusional enough to say this (being sincere here)?
I think people are too stupid to understand sounding of metal. They're have no musical taste.
No it's not just noise it's real music.
No they don't always party, stop assuming they do before you know what the hell you're talking about.
Not every rock band is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
This stereo type needs to die in a hole! Metal music isn't satanic, it might be heavier then a lot of genres but it has nothing to do with the devil ffs.
To be honest I am an atheist and I do not worship satan the at all
This makes me laugh
This should be #1
*Facepalm* More emotions can be displayed in metal songs other then angry and aggressiveness...
This one cracked me up... because it's so dumb and inaccurate. Even on this small site Metal is at #2 on the list 'Top Ten Music Genres That Teens Like'. TEENS.
I am 14 and listen to metal, I even went to see cradle of filth and Ozzy Osbourne and I am going to see my favourite band iron maiden next month
No not true, I'm 12 and listen to a lot of metal.
Rock music has more than songs about sex and drugs, honestly pop music literally has songs about the same damn topic but it's done 10x worse.
I don't like this stereotype
Not all metalheads are angry and violent if you believe that you got some serious issues...
Technically I do, but a lot of the songs the I listen to could also be classified as pop or rap and stuff
Not true at all I also listen to Punk, Grunge, Alternative and Blues so not legitimate.
I listen to Metallica and other metal bands but I also listen to rap like NF
"Hello? There are those who had spiky hair and are still called metalheads
Cannibal Corpse is not the only death metal band, ya know
It's too edgy but not violent at all really.
Not only white people listen to rock and metal!
