| Do you stereotype people based on their music tastes? I mean generally metal/rock/punk music lovers are stereotyped as violent or emo/goth people. So what are your stereotypes for the following genres?: Here are mine: pop/kpop/jpop/etc: easy going/laid back/ romance based personality rock/punk(etc): justdoit shialabouf / energized/ blunt based personality metal/screamo: violent/ hating/ elitist based personality classical/instrumental: calm / reserved / organized/ civil based personality ? electro: jumpy/energetic personality rap: dreaming/ cocky/ overconfident / showoffy personality (depending) ORRR Do you feel your music tastes stereotype doesn't represent you? discuss all yer rants and shinanigans based on the topic of music tastes |

| -pop/kpop/jpop/etc: weebs and underaged. Mainstream rubbish that is specifically targeted at teens and young adults. Usually comes with dance videos. -rock old. Who else but fathers and grandfathers even listens to this anymore. -metal nerds. This genre mostly have songs about struggles and adventures. Half the time I wonder if the composers are D&D players. -classical cultured/trying to appear intelligent. It's really either someone is genuinely interested in this, or is only pretending to by saying they like Beethoven or Mozart. -instrumental/electronic turbo nerds. If you listen to this, then chances are you are also listening to movie/video game/anime OSTs -rap/punk/hiphop dumb. Simple beats and rhymes. Genres that generally cater to dumb people. |

jambutters said: screamo This is a horribly misused term and makes me cringe. The actual 'screamo' bands are far from metal, and are more punk- offshoots; the music itself sounds very different (it's also shit, mind you). I've heard people call Black Metal/Extreme Thrash Metal 'screamo', and it's just depressing. If anything, it's a word that non- metal listeners have latched onto and used, as I see it, to 'pass off' any music with 'screaming' in it as such. I don't necessarily expect non- metal listeners to use the numerous sub- genre titles, but at least stop saying 'screamo'. |

Black, thrash, death, all the same shit m8 rofl, I dont care, I hear screaming lyrics in a lot of metal songs so I'm just going to tie em together, deal wif it . |

| I generalize people's intelligence if all they listen to is 1 genre but I don't really stereotype everyone. I listen to each of those categories, and Japanese/Kpop or whatever is not a genre of music, it's simply a language of which the music in, so I don't get how someone could be a weeabo for liking Japanese music, considering there are like 127 million of them. I love foreign music, & I thoroughly enjoy every genre except for country with the exception of Johnny Cash-whose music was embraced other genres(which is why it was good) |

Yes, tie them together with a word that 9 times out of 10 isn't actually applicable. "Hurr, there's screaming so let's call it 'screamo'." It sounds like a bad joke. Metal classifications have been forming since the early 80's, so I think you can understand why a term like 'screamo', which is a relatively recent term that actually is never used to describe what the word was intended to describe, is very frustrating to see. As I mentioned, 'screamo' wasn't even a metal classification to begin with. |

Yes, tie them together with a word that 9 times out of 10 isn't actually applicable. "Hurr, there's screaming so let's call it 'screamo'." It sounds like a bad joke I'm also tying them together because they both share generally "violent/aggressive" attributes. I'm already aware that not every metal song has screaming vocals (I listen often listen to metal instrumentals anyways) . Metal classifications have been forming since the early 80's, blehh offtopicish but, metal classification is a bitch. The sub genres of metal are insanely utter shit. Sounds like an emo child named them lol, "DEATH, BLACK, THRASH, POWER, PROGRESSIVE" , blehhhh, whatta pain. Kinda sterotyping you as the type who would make a huge fuss over this(sorry if you aren't this type of person) . ANYWAYZ, cleared shiet up, nuff said, ggwp , time2sleep |

| I listen to stuff from indie folk to fantasy metal, excluding country music and music that's 100% screaming. Country music: Probably a hick, "country pride!!!!", "I love my horse :)", wears a camo hoodie and farm boots to school (seriously a group of kids in my school) 100% screaming: "nobody understands me", scene haircuts, labeling yourself as a punk/rebel even though you're not anything close to one, telling everyone that they're awful people for liking popular music |

| Metalheads are usually elitists with a stick up their asses. So, I would say that you're right about Metal here. |
| I don't know why but for some reason every R&B listener I've ever met was a bitch with two faces. Makes me wonder if they are all like that. Besides, I can't prove it but OP is wrong about metalheads. I am one and I have a reputation for being such a friendly person. |
 |
| Well, there this certain type of group of young people who enjoy listening to shitty rap (usually Russian) on their shitty phones in public, so that kinda became a stereotype. Other than that, I don't stereotype people based on what they listen. |
   |
| I kind of stereotype metalheads as completely ignorant, unoriginal and can't handle a music discussion. I don't do it so much know. The wave of TRUE METAL died, apparently and I'm glad. |

| Pop: Mongs Any electronic genre: Mongs who think they know stuff about music Rap/Hip-hop/whatever it's called: Criminals Rock: Mongs who think they're cool because they listen to "old" music Metal: People who burn churches and worship satan Jpop: Weebs |
| All metalheads I know (including myself) are far from elitist, violent or hating. I never stereotype people around anything, because it's simply stupid, and most of the time you tend to be wrong about them. |

I said it's like explaining atomic theory to a five year old, as in, a five year old's reaction to such an explanation would be similar to the bumbling wall of words I received from that guy in response something far less complex. |

Eminem said: Moniisek said: lmao at people who wrote k/jpop fans are weebs you watch anime you know. you're not one to talk. So everyone who watches anime is a weeb? Jolly good. The point that he's making is that if everyone who listens to kpop and jpop are weebs, by the same logic, so are anime fans. That logic, of course, being pretty flawed. |

| I listen to almost every genre : o the comments on this thread is entertaining to read : O |

Salvatia said: -instrumental/electronic turbo nerds. If you listen to this, then chances are you are also listening to movie/video game/anime OSTs What is a turbo nerd? Never heard of that before. |
| The longer I read these posts, the more I realise that this is just the eternal bait thread. |
|
| Even less impressive than stereotyping is an attempt to build some kind of patrician music core. It's as if some of these people just read popular music blogs then parrot the opinion that shits on as many demographics as possible. That's just lazy. No true elitist takes a shortcut like that. Take your time. Build something that makes people truly hate you. |
Nymphias said: The point that he's making is that if everyone who listens to kpop and jpop are weebs, by the same logic, so are anime fans. That logic, of course, being pretty flawed. thank you for your understanding :) |
| To me, it's wrong to stereotype people based on anything. I don't make assumptions regarding people's musical tastes based on their appearance or personality. Then again, I'm not a one-genre music listener either - if it sounds good to me, I'll listen to it, regardless of its genre. |

mafia_princess said: I don't find it that accurate tbh, I think it's more complicated than that.. Obviously. Most people listen to many different genres. |
| I kind of stereotype those who listen to rap and metal. They seemingly resort to genres that cater to the lowest common denominator and would be better off expanding their horizons to greater feats in the expansive medium that is music. That's just my opinion, though. |

| No, I don't like stereotyping people in general. |

| It's silly to do that. Besides, I listen to pretty much everything, Not sure what that'd make me. |

| To some people my music taste would seem more or less accurate. To others it would seem excessively obscure, unusual and unfitting to what they would expect. I don't think stereotyping people based on music tastes has any real causation. |
