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

[TheLaofKazi]

Title basically explains it.

Other people can join in on the stereotype breaking. Maybe people will open their minds up to some new types of music or something, I don't know.

EDIT: Opinion removed, so people would stop bringin it up as I have already been proven wrong

Captain Beefheart is like a squid eating dough out of a polyethylene bag: fast and bulbous.

Grindcore songs cannot be completely understood without looking up the lyrics.

Good luck.

Justin Bieber is so terrible, his music is a genre in and of itself.

The genre "Justin Bieber" sucks down poopy juice.

Death metal is just mindless screaming into a microphone

Lots of creative composition, changing time signatures, different styles are played and combined. There are parts with singing too, and the lyrics are well written and unique.

Hipster music is repetitive bullshit.

What do you mean by hipster music?

There's plenty of good music out there that people listen to only for the image or whatever.

Country songs sung by men are about: Trucks, being a cowboy or making love to a woman.

Country songs sung by women are about: Longlost love or being strong, independent and not needing a man.

You Suffer But Why?

Comes thru pretty clearly for me. Altho one of my friends thought it was "You suffer butt boy", so I guess your point stands...for now...

While I will admit that the guitar work was good, I couldnt for the life of me make out any of the words on my own, so my beliefs still are still in place.

He's also many other things. He's also like a Neon Meate Dream of an Octafish.

Techno is a load of repetitive beats and samples.

No, it's a load of repetitive beats, samples, and synthesizers. Remember your stereotypes.

And here's some techno jazz fusion. It has a saxophone!

Some people say they're more prog than death (Blackwater Park was close to jumping that gap), but I think this song is recognisably death metal, and has recognisable lyrics you can sing along to.

THE PALE HORRRRSE! RIIIDDEEERRRR!

I know I'm not the one supposed to be breaking stereotypes, but how about Stand by Your Man? That's like, the only country song I know the name of, and it still works.
