Top 10 Things Elitist Metalheads Hate Most

Pop music is just an insult to metalheads since that stuff is made on computers, it is more style over substance. Why are technical death metal bands with actual talent and dynamics so overlooked. POP MUSIC SUCKS.

Metalheads who universally disregard all pop are just posers. They hate it because it's easy and popular to hate. Somwhere buried inside all the garbage autotuned nonsense and monstrosities created by the same two producers in a swedish pop factory there are actual artists with musical talent there. You have to respect that.

Metalheads dislike Pop music becuase it focuses on being mainstream and relies on sex apeal (for example) more than actual musical substance.

There is some underground singers who have an actual talent. And not all singers use autotune.

"Oh, I love this band! Why aren't people listening to this? This band will kill 1D and Justin Beiber! "
Band wins a Grammy and becomes popular
" sellout they are posers"
The typical journey of the metal elitist.

Just because a band is popular and 'overrated' doesn't mean they are bad. Slipknot are probably the most popular metal band at the moment, but they are amazing, and definitely one of my favourite bands.

To me a7x is a metal boy band. Even though I tried them, I can't get into them.
Metallica completely sold out, there is no denying it, I mean they aren't even metal at this point

They could be a fan of a certain band and claim to be diehard, but when that band makes it big, they call that band a bunch of sellouts.

One thing I hate the most is when they say that a certain band isn't metal even when they R. I saw once that someone said Lamb of God is just generic Wal-Mart rock and not metal. Oh how uncultired you elitists are.

If it's a fusion between metal and something else, it's not just that something else, and it's not just metal. It's both.

Yeah, I mean really who thinks that Judas Priest isn't metal?

It's like they are being payed to dislike deathcore, and not let one band from the genre into their musical taste. If there was a metalhead that likes one or two deathcore bands, but dosen't want to admit it, I would not be surprised at all.

Oh man whenever a metal news website posts anything about death core all the elitists get pissed off.

The thing with these people is that they see it as an equivalent of pop in the "metalness" spectrum, and end up despising it in the worst cases. I actually enjoy this subgenre of metal; in fact, there are some very good glam bands/artists like Ratt, Lita Ford, Winger, and pretty underrated ones such as Heavy Bones, Extreme, Real Steel, E.M.N., and lots more.

In fact, most "metal-heads" go with their "exceptions", like Motley Crue, Dokken, 80s Pantera, etc.; in fact, here's a message to them: Give some more bands a try and prepare your opinion to be changed!

Just like rap, we don't want to hear about the girls you bang or how rich you are.

To be fair, glam is crap

I like rap and metal, does that make me a bad person?

This one makes me the most furious of them all, screamo is just emo with screamed vocals. SCREAMO IS NOT METAL. I like death metal, and it has screaming vocals, but it's not screamo. Whoever does it must be taught a lesson because of their ignorance. Only extreme metal genres have screaming like black and death metal. There will always be a difference.

Anyone who calls metal screamo is just retarded.

I hate this too...

I'm not an elitist.In fact I actually like EDM,Rap and Alternative more than Metal but Metal is still awesome.Anyways heavy metal is not screamo.Screamo is just a more aggressive version of emo music with more screaming than typical emo bands like My Chemical Romance or FOB.Heavy Metal isn't just screaming only Death Metal and Black Metal are like that but Alternative Metal,Groove Metal,Thrash Metal,Nu Metal(Yes I like it) and Metalcore(Yes I also like that) are amazing.Some Metalcore or Post Hardcore bands like Asking Alexandria,Bring Me The Horizan and Black Veil Brides can be called screamo but usually they have more singing than screaming but they can scream a lot.-DarkBoi-X

Most country is about the beach and nice weather and I live in a cold, nasty, rainy place

I hate it when people say that the only good bands are the ones that that have ben around for a long time. Metallica and Iron Maiden are amazing, I'll admit, but I prefer mpre modern bands like Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold and Trivium.

Yeah. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's better. I mean, would you rather have a clothesrack, or a dryer? Then again, would you want a cool vintage record player, or an iPod? There are good and bad things from the past and future.

Totally agree with you Lem. People get stuck in the past and think everything from that time period was better.

Unless it is a cover of a great song or symphonic I do not like classic.

Do they know what influenced metal?

Like jazz, most metal bands are heavily influenced by classical so

^ No, Ryan, Metal music is not influenced by jazz. Just because you think it would be a cool thing doesn't make it true. Metal was born out of rock, which was born out of blues. Jazz was also born out of blues, though that doesn't make jazz and metal related in any way. Also, smooth jazz -despite what the name implies- is not a subgenre of jazz music, but a subgenre of pop music. Any jazz musician can confirm this fact for you.

Almost all metal bands are heavily influenced by jazz, so there's that

Not true. I'm a metal maniac and I love classic rock, punk, grunge, alternative, you name it. Almost anything rock or metal appeals to me

Elitist and Metal maniacs are two different things.

They think it's just a sound.

I can't listen to something knowing that no instruments are being played

I like Korn and the Deftones. But I hate when bands try to cross rap and metal. It doesn't work
