Well, I'm pretty sure you are probably thinking, "What does Chaotic mean by that?", and well, I'll tell you. Just recently, I am scrolling across facebook and one of the pages that I have liked, "All Things Metal" posted a picture of one of my favorite bands being "System of a Down". If you don't know, System of a down is a great Metal Band, and one of the best Nu-Metal bands, (I think it's 4th) in the world. Now, obviously, I am going to like this picture and comment something. But the first thing that I see in the comments section, is someone post something along the lines of, "Nu-Metal isn't real metal, and all faggots who think so should be killed. Listen to Thrash."
Being curious as I was, I wanted to see what everyone has started replying to this guy about. Turns out, there is a huge long list of people saying death threats and hating each other just because of their different tastes in Metal. This isn't even Music, it's just Metal. It really puts us metalheads to shame when stuff like this happens because the media is never on our side. This kind of stuff is just fuel for the fire.
Anyway, I came to realize that everyone, including myself, has made a negative comment on someone else's taste in music. It's like we don't want them to be their own person and express their own originality or something. For example, I really hate; pop, rap, country and Reggae, but there are other people who love it and that is completely fair. But for some reason, we always get into arguments saying that the music is terrible and anyone who likes it should be shunned, stabbed, etc.
What I am trying to say is, people are so judgmental and they don't seem to be able to accept other peoples ways of life. You will see examples all over the place. Religion, Music, Favorite Animes... etc etc. the list goes on and on.
It's kind of stupid to be making a post about it, but I think that if you don't discriminate on peoples tastes in music, then comment your favorite band, artist, genre or whatever, and we can all talk friendly about the differences and why we like them. Please don't hate on other peoples choices. If someone says they like One Direction, Who gives a shit. We are just here to talk about why we like who we like, and try to come to an understanding.
I will start off, anyone else is welcome to join in at any time.
My favorite Genre's are Nu-Metal, Gothic Metal, and Alternate Rock.
My favorite bands are System of a Down, Breaking Benjamin, Tenacious D, and Cradle of Filth.
I enjoy these songs because they fill me with a sense of power, making me feel invincible inside. I also like them because they are different to modern day songs where it is all about parties, sex and relationships. |
