Give me a stereotype of any genre of music and I will post a song that breaks it.

[Ickorus]

Post Rock has no vocals whatsoever!

Aha, I can do this one.

Spoiler

Oh, how could I forget:

I really love my post-rock.

Oh shit that was a good song. Got any other recomendation?

Anything by that band, they do some amazing stuff.

You might also like Russian Circles.

I'd definitely suggest checking out their Last.fm page, the similar artists bit has found me many amazing bands:

Noisecore sounds terrible.

 

[Tinneh]

Classic Rock is fucking awesome.

All classic rock songs go like this.


Okay, punk music, Jello Biafra is fucking awesome, TRY AND PROVE ME WRONG.

All of Daft Punk's songs could have the phrase "Around the World" put into it and it would fit.

It wouldn't fit into Technologic or Veridis Quo. But then again the phrase could be put in every song ever made. (as long as we aren't talking the same rhythm and sound to the words)

Actually that is what I meant about the rhythm and sound of the words. Sorry about how vague I was.

lol citing BtBaM as something good. Try Dismember for some good Death Metal

Give this man a medal. Preferably an Iron Cross. BtBaM are not even death metal, let alone good.

OT: All metal consists of 'eh' level guitar, sloppy drums, and screeching like a prepubescent schoolgirl.

Admittedly, this is more to find the exceptions than deny their existence.

You realise the "exceptions" are in fact much more common than your "stereotype". Admittedly, that is still a common stereotype.
Or anything by Dream Theater really.
Just because I love this clip. So much. And people don't get caught up on the vocals when they aren't there.
I won't bother with offering a stereotype, because I know anything I say will have an exception, unless I start to refer to genre defining things.

Black metal has no clean sung songs, even songs with clean vocals in them are primarily growl.

Like this. You know why it's incredibly difficult to find a Black Metal song with no growling? Cause Black Metal is defined by, among other things, the growling style of vocals. There is occasionally clean vocals to make it awe inspiringly atmospheric (see Dimmu Borgir) but for it to be Black metal it almost needs growls somewhere.

They already have I think, in the Alive 2007 compilation (if I'm not mistaken)

-edit-

yup they did:

I think all Daft Punk music is interchangeable and remixable with itself.

Justin Bieber sucks.

I know it's not a genre, but I will be thoroughly impressed if you can prove this wrong.

 

[the Dept of Science]

All intentionally auto-tuned music sucks.
That means that songs like "Symphony of Science [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc]" do not count.

Spoiler: Give this song some time to build. Its performed accappella and the layers just keep on building. This guy can definately sing normally, but he uses the autotune to give the song a really ethereal feel.

I think like all these things, autotune is not by definition bad. It's just too much or innappropriate use of it is bad. As things like Symphony of Science show, it can be a very useful tool for DJs, allowing them to use spoken vocal samples, and have them "sing". Alternatiely, the song I showed thinks uses it very well as an effect, like you may use reverb or distortion. People would get sick of reverb if it was used as much as autotune, and when it was first invented, it was (and people did). Just needs to get into a sortof equilibrium state after overexposure.

It's not a stereotype if it's your opinion. It's hardly music to pump up a testosterone-fueled teen (which I'm assuming you are, since you're using "gay" as an adjective) but how are you to know without listening to it?

What else would he use it as, a verb?

OT: All dubstep uses a "wobble" bass (low bassline with an LFO modulating a band pass filter.)

Justin Bieber sucks.

I have this photo proving that he does suck! (at least I think that's what he's doing to the Mic...)

Spoiler: Justin Sucking Microphone

 

[Foobula]

Pop is annoying and shallow.

I can, because he he "blows" There for you are wrong :^P


How About Mexican music (i think its called like mexican folk. The mariachi type music) All sounds like hispanic Polka

 

[qeinar]

Possibly ninja'd, but death metal is devil worshiping music...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_metal

christian metal would not be death metal. : p but still not all death metal songs are about worshipping satan. : p it would be called satan metal then. ^^

Pop is annoying and shallow.

This one was tackled already with the broad category of "The Beatles"
