Top Ten Worst Things About Metal

The Top Ten
1 Elitist Metalheads

This, I will agree with. They won't let kids get into the genre without bashing them constantly for their music tastes. They will call you a poser just for liking other stuff as well. I am a metalhead, but this has got to go.

Most of them like only Metallica and hate Megadeth (or vice versa) and say everything else is fake

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not metal

And one good example is the user called Sabbath. dude, chill out, you're only a fan

2 Megadeth fanbase

Megadeth is my second favorite band only to Black Sabbath, but I don't understand why people can't like Megadeth AND Metallica. Personally I love them both.

Megadeth are my fave band as are metallica anthrax slayer pantera guns n roses ac/dc helloween dragonforce hendrix all greats

3 Fans who only like band's earlier albums

Interesting how the top 4 are all to do with fans.

4 Technical death metal fanboys

Think they're above everyone

5 Black Metal Artists who Kill People and Animals
6 Bass players that use a pick

Absolutely illogical reason.

1. Is Paul McCartney, Roger Waters or Dee Dee Ramone a metal bassist? No. So non-metal bassists use picks too.
2. Using picks for playing bass guitar don't make them bad. Yes, if you ask me if finger-playing technique requires more skills than using picks, I'd say absolutely. But as a matter of fact sometimes some bassists have to use a pick. Even if they can play bass guitars without picks.

Dude, just let them play their instrument however they want. It doesn't matter if they're fingerpicking or using a guitar pick as long as it sounds good.

What's wrong about playing the bass with a pick?

7 Nu-metal

People hate because they don't think rap and metal should mix I guess.

I don't get the hate for this genre and for metalcore. I like them both

I agree that it's trash, but if you don't like it just don't listen to it.

It's probably on here because of those genre hating metalheads.

8 That metal show

Do you mean Metalocalypse?

9 Pop bashers

I mainly listen to EDM, and people keep thinking I have no taste and goes like "oh you like EDM your manhood is in question LISTEN TO SOMETHING EDGY LIKE METAL YOU LIL (insert swear word)" Metal listeners should be more open to other genres. Turn up some EDM and enjoy the great sounds.

It just annoys me so much. Not all pop and rap is bad. Pop artists and rappers like Michael jackson and tupac have talent and real meaning behind their music.

I'm not supporting pop music but when metal heads sit behind a computer and have to bash pop artist to make metal look better then that's pathetic

You can't hate the whole genre of pop just because of the significant portion of the garbage songs you hear on the radio.

10 Talentless critics
The Contenders
11 Gore-obsessed Death Metal Bands (Cannibal Corpse, Necrophagist, Ect.)

They're album art is difficult to look at, so they automatically suck? Retard.

How can anyone stand looking at their album art?

12 Metalcore
13 Genre Bashers

While ignorant Metalheads aren't busy bashing Metal subgenres 24/7, they're also bashing other genres of music as well.

These are the absolute worst. They're the reason why Metal isn't mainstream.

14 Most metalheads state that a band can't save someone's life

That is pretty much true. Bands don't save lives. Only YOU save your life. That's why you should not hate yourself.

Not true at all. Only those scene kids do that and they are super annoying.

Why's this an item?

15 Sub-genres

What are "sun" genres?

16 Metalheads complaining about metal bands they don't like being called metal
17 Emos
18 Scene Kids
19 Artists with huge egos

Don't forget about Jonathan Davis of Korn.

20 Black metal

I don't mind it.

Not a fan of it.

21 Stereotypes
22 Metal Haters

I'm talking about people who ignorantly view Metal as satanic and have no real messages.

23 Thrash metal fanboys

Thrash is very good but the close minded nutjobs who accept no other genre bash the others are dumb fair enough jb is bad but accept mj the beatles adele ed sheeran and that they have talent

Yeah, I too think thrash metal is overrated. But I can't say anything about it. It's their opinions.

24 Fred Durst William Frederick "Fred" Durst is an American musician and film director. Durst is best known as the vocalist of the nu metal band Limp Bizkit, formed in 1994, with whom he has released six studio albums.
25 Pornogrind

This genre has no fans whatsoever and is notorious for being terrible.

Why does this even exist?!
