10 Things Elitist Metalheads Hate the Most
MetalFoREVer1228The 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.
Metalheads dislike Pop music becuase it focuses on being mainstream and relies on sex apeal (for example) more than actual musical substance.

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.

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 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.

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

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.
9 Rap/Hip Hop
I like rap and metal, does that make me a bad person?
10 When Metal Bands That They Don't Like Are Called Metal
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
The Contenders
11 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".

Babymetal is the second worst thing hit metal after Attila.
I hate this band more than any musician or band - Ananya
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.

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 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.
18 Clean singing
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 - ryanrimmel
Elitist and Metal maniacs are two different things.
19 Classical
Like jazz, most metal bands are heavily influenced by classical so - ryanrimmel
