10 Things Elitist Metalheads Hate the Most

MetalFoREVer1228

The Top Ten

1 Pop Music

They hate it simply because they are too close-minded to try anything else. - MoldySock

I hate pop music too, but they absolutely despise it with every fiber of their being. - MetalFoREVer1228

Pop music sucks, but if all music was serious and sad it wouldn't seem serious and sad anymore.

Plebs

2 Popular Metal Bands

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. - MetalFoREVer1228

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. - Lem

Avenged kicks ass and metal heads hate them

Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot, etc.

3 Black Veil Brides Black Veil Brides Black Veil Brides is an American rock band currently consisting of Andy Biersack (vocals), Jinxx (guitar), Jake Pitts (guitar), Christian Coma (drums) and Ashley Purdy (bass), that formed in 2006 in Ohio. ...read more.

They stink at fashion, and we just don't like em!

Stupid emos

4 Deathcore

Oh man whenever a metal news website posts anything about death core all the elitists get pissed off. - MetalFoREVer1228

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.

WHO KIND OF TRUE DIE HARD METALHEAD WOULDN'T?

5 Scene Bands

I myself don't like scene bands, but god the elitists throw the biggest fits about them. - MetalFoREVer1228

6 Five Finger Death Punch Five Finger Death Punch Five Finger Death Punch is an American alternative metal/ alternative rock band formed in, Las Vegas Nevada. The band's came originated from a fictional movie called Kill Bill.

Because it is crap, simple - Ananya

I can't even count the number of 5fdp posts that have been constantly bashed on by elitists. - MetalFoREVer1228

I don't know, I just think these guys get so much flak is:
1)Mainstream success
2)The alt-groove sound is so unique that it only appeals to some people.

7 Avenged Sevenfold Avenged Sevenfold Avenged Sevenfold is an American alternative metal/metalcore (early) band, that was formed 1999 in California. Their longest lineup of members was M. Shadows (Vocals), Synyster Gates (Lead Guitar), Zacky Vengeance (Rhythm Guitar), Johnny Christ (Bass Guitar), and The Rev (Drums). ...read more.

I don't get it. In terms of reviews, metalheads will give a 4 to a Taylor Swift album, but this band, because they're called metal, will get lots of hate from elitists. Because they're a popular band that people call metal. Avenged is a hard rock band, but they still have a lot more edge than any other kind of music out now.

I'm not a huge fan of this band either but the elitists show no respect at all for them, they are even celebrating the Rev's death.

They are extremely overrated, and ripped off everyone imaginable

I wouldn't have a problem with this band if their fans weren't annoying a**holes.
Yes, they are talented, but their fans think the rev was the best drummer ever, zacky vengeance the best guitarist ever? Give me a break - ryanrimmel

8 Glam Metal

To be fair, glam is crap - ryanrimmel

9 When Metal Bands That They Don't Like Are Called Metal

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. - Skullkid755

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. - MetalFoREVer1228

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

10 Rap/Hip Hop

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

The Contenders

11 Babymetal Babymetal Babymetal is a Japanese metal idol band. Their line-up consists of Suzuka Nakamoto as "Su-metal", Yui Mizuno as "Yuimetal", and Moa Kikuchi as "Moametal".

I strongly wish that she and her crap members disband themselves, If thinks that if she barks and thinks that if it will be labelled as metal-singer then she needs electric shocks. - Ananya

It seems like you may have experienced more than you're fair share of electric shocks, because this comment reeks of severe brain damage. - MetalFoREVer1228

Any genre (especially metal) can be diverse.

Babymetal is the second worst thing hit metal after Attila.

Enough has already been said. As a parody, BM are ok. That's about it.

12 When People Call Metal Screamo

Anyone who calls metal screamo is just retarded.

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

14 Country Music

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

15 Breakdowns
16 Smooth Jazz

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

17 Classical

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

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

18 Modern Bands

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. - Lem

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. - BlueTopazIceVanilla

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

19 Metallica Metallica Metallica is an American Thrash Metal band formed in 1981 .

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

23 Metalcore
24 Nu Metal

Linkin Park? Disturbed? Slipknot? Why does Nu Metal get so much hate when so many amazing bands are or used to be of that genre. - Lem

I like korn and the deftones. But I hate when bands try to cross rap and metal. It doesn't work - ryanrimmel

Rap and metal works. Slipknot, Korn (at times) and Rage Against The Machine are prime examples.
