Top 10 Reasons Why Metal isn't the Best Music Genre

Heavy metal is, as of now, the #1 item in the "Best Music Genres" list, but really? Is it really the best music genre? No, it's not. And here are the reasons why.
The Top Ten
1 There are better music genres

Personal preferences are completely subjective. Some prefer Pop, some like Rock or Rap music, others will say they favor Metal most. Others might take Classical and Jazz music over instead.

Although the list idea is relevant and everyone can decide whether he agrees with it, this list could have been done much better, most likely it's just for trolling the metalhead-dominated community. "there are better music genres" just means the same as "metal isn't the best music genre". It's like saying 2+2=5 because 2+2 isn't 6.

It depends on opinion I find Heavy Metal to be mediocre.In my opinion Alternative Rock and Rap/Hip Hop are the best.It all depends on music taste.Also I find it ironic you make this list but on you're profile you're favourite genre is Heavy Metal.-DarkBoi-X

Depends on your preference.

2 Metal is overrated

Well so is Pop, Rap, and Country. Your point?

So are pop, rock and rap, but that doesn’t necessarily make them bad. It just means they get a lot of praise.

3 Metal is too mainstream

Heavy Metal has become more mainstream than it was in the 90s and 00s. And even then, its not on the same magnitude of popularity as Pop music.

If anything is not mainstream, there's a lot more than just Metal if you ask me.

*COUGHS* Pop and Rap are way more mainstream.

No it's not. Pop music is too mainstream.

4 The guitars in metal are boring

The guitar is my favourite thing about metal, but I respect your opinion.

I find guitars to be awesome in any genre, especially Metal...

Why did you came up with this? You don't like riffs and solos?

5 The vocals in metal are annoying

Do you mean the screams? Metal vocalists are actually talented!

There are annoying vocalists in every other genre though. You just can’t let them overshadow the good ones because there are also great vocalists in every genre.

Still better than all emo band vocals.

6 The solos in metal are too hard to play

So what? It takes a lot of talent.

Not a valid reason.

7 It's outdated

Explain to me how a genre based on Classical music, with many different sub genres, and diverse riffs is outdated?

Invalid reason.

8 It isn't on charts anymore

So? Rock songs barely make the charts anymore either but I still love it.

9 The concerts are too violent

Someone has listened too much Death Metal...

Then don't go to the concerts.

10 The songs are too long

DEPENDS on the Metal band you listen to.

What a stupid reason
