I have never raged/facepalmed so hard in my life

[krazykidd]

I like how you get mad at them for having an negative OPINION on metal/rock bands , then take a jab a rappers . Hypocrit.

OT: All music takes talent , duh . People just tend to insult whatever they aren't into . I HATE metal music , but i realise the talent it takes to actually play a guitar that fuxking fast . If a normal person does it their hands will probably bleed . I can't stand the screamig though . As for rap music , the rhyming in sync to music takes a lot of talent , especially freestyling requires vocabulary , but most ofthen than not the subject matter is questionable , to each their own .

are you drunk? you usually have less typoes XD

but your right, people like to claim what they don't like "isn't music", as for rap even its good enough I can accept stupid subject matter

All i got to say is :" WOOHOO someone noticed me!".Even if it's for being notorious for making typoes, it's better than not bein noticed at all ( i'm so lonely ) . I learned to read from jrpgs , blame squaresoft. And at the time of writing that post i have been drinking.

I can't stand the screaming though

Gah. I know it's not the focus of the topic, but I just hate this stereotype. Not all metal is screamed; of the several hundred metal albums I own, only a handful use harsh vocals. Most of them have singers, highly theatrical singers with huge ranges at that.

Sorry if that came off as aggressive at all, it just frustrates me for some reason.

[small]As long as I'm being a ****, it should also be pointed out that a lot of metal is actually very, very slow [/small]

Yeah i know not all metal music has screaming . But it's what is most associated to that perticular type of music unfortunately . Like rap, people assume all rap music is about bitches and hoes and saying n***a a lot . Hell my favorite rapper is Eminem and he doesn't use the word n***a at all ! [small] Mostly because he can't due to being white , but that's a minor detail[/small]


Edit: I got a minor peeve with songs with lyrics that i can't understand without looking them up . That includes but is not limited to reggae , rappers that rap too fast (*cough*Twista*cough*) and screaming metal music .

I stopped watching when the 11 year old started talking about underground/classical rap from back in the day.

I find it funny that he thinks it's wrong to judge rap as a genre based on what mainstream rap is like, and then proceeds to judge rock/metal as a genre based entirely on mainstream rock.

They're kids. Most kids don't know jack shit about music and if it's plainly obvious that they're full of shit then you can probably just close the video and move on with your life.

I agree they are just kids they will likely see this video when they are older and laugh at themselves.

 

[McMullen]

If a YouTube video featuring two random kids giving their musical opinion is the thing that has made you rage most in your life, then I would say that you have not experienced much that life has to offer. If you happen to be over 10 year old, I would say that this is a problem you should be addressing. If you happen to be over 20, something has gone seriously wrong. If you happen to be over 30, I would encourage you to find a way to live before you die, and assure you that although you've lost a lot of time, it's not too late.

rap does take talent though...

Good rap does, anyway... Just regular rap does not. Remember, this is the genre that gave us Soulja boy.

Same can be said about a lot of metal. You could make the argument that they have to play their own instruments, but learning the basics and then writing something simple from that does not take all that music musical skill. Most rappers have to at least try to write rhymes, a lot the time metal/rock musicians just base their work on someone else's, cover it up with a small change of riffs and call it a day.
Just to note, this is coming from someone who listens to both Metal and Hip Hop.

Yeah i know not all metal music has screaming . But it's what is most associated to that perticular type of music unfortunately .

I'm sorry but I take issue with this. Why? Almost all the iconic metal bands that most people know don't do that. I.E Megadeath, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath. Also I don't know what is "popular" right now but I think "Disturbed" is, or the last time I checked, and the lead singer doesn't scream.

I could understand if a Vocal minority was like that, but it's not. The majority of Metal bands, and the majority of well-known Metal bands don't do that.

It's like if I asked you what do you think of when you think of Earth? And you answered "platinum group metals." Sure I guess you could think that, but why? For one thing it's not that common. For another it's a bit to specific.

Be that as it may , but screaming is what most people ( that don't listen to metal ) will associate metal music with . But that's what a stereotype is . I'm not saying you are wrong , you are most likely right , but it is what it is . For better or worst.

 

[FalloutJack]

WHo could take it seriously anyway? They're essentially the old man shouting at dem kids to get offa' his lawn.

 

[SpectacularWebHead]

Re-dub the video with ten minutes of the Trololol song.

The effects are the same and if anything, It wold be greatly improved.

How do you know this? Like I stated the Iconic ones are not that way. The popular ones are not that way. And most of them are not that way. I don't have facts on this, and I don't think you do. But the public consciousness can't be like that, it would make no sense.

Why do you think people would think this way? Everything that they are exposed to about it is the opposite of what you are stating. Unless you have something that shows otherwise, you're kind of talking out your ass. And no I am not saying that I have all the facts, I am saying all the facts that I do have lead me to think that that's not true.

Look all you have said is that "Most people" think this way because they do. I may have not made a grate argument, but it's better then "I have no facts, but this is how people think."

They were discussing their opinion that metal does not have any meaning, is too loud and takes no skill. It sounds to me as if those kids are just being kids, their group of friends likes rap so they feel the need to stand up and be counted amongst their fellow listeners by trying to get back at another group who apparently does not like the music they do. an eye for an eye and all that.

In all fairness im only posting here because I noticed the thread was loosely based on rap and I happen to know an awesome video to show how rap ought to be done.

Well... Some metal, especially some Screamo stuff, is an incomprehensible mess with very little talent on show and some metal is fucking amazing... The same goes for Rock, Rap, Pop, Punk, Dubstep, Techno, Industrial, Blues, Soul and etc. In the end it also comes alot sown to personal preference...

 

[pwnatornr1]

>I think that
Opinion.
Disregard it and continue.
Of course it's easy for me to say that (because i have an opinion proof shield) but if you truly become mad, you loose.
Allthough the part about rap and what it's become is true.

 

[Stu35]

Didn't watch it.

In my time on this planet I've grown used to the idea that most people in the world don't like good music. They like their Nicki Minaj, they like their Lady Gaga, they like their 50 cent and their Eminem, they like Katy Perry and Carly Rae Jepsen...

They're mongs for liking it, but hey ho, different strokes to move the world. Let them enjoy their crapfest. Means that when I go to see awesome bands, I only have to put up with people who think in a similar fashion to me...

If anything, it'd upset me if the average mouthbreathing scumbag started turning up to gigs. I can barely put up with the mouthbreathing scumbags who share my taste in music as it is.

Wait what? Are you serious? Am i being punk'd?

Okay , question .Do you know what a stereotype is? I'm going to assume you do since you seem like a smart guy . If by some off chance you don't go google the definition . Done? Okay next step .

Google : heavy metal stereotypes . Pick ANY link that you find credible and look at the list . Here i'll help you .
http://listverse.com/2011/07/09/top-10-myths-about-metal/.

Look at number 1 .

Now , i'm not saying the stereotype is true . I'm just saying it's there . The fact you never heard of this is surprising . Now , as for your comment that the most popular metal bands don't scream . Fine that may be true , BUT who are the bands popular with? People that listen to heavy metal music no? People that actually listen to the music already know that metal =/= screaming . It's those people that don't who associate heavy metal to screaming .

 

[Olikar]

Okay so I just saw why metal/rock music is talentless crap that's too loud and doesn't have any meaning to it..

On the whole that sounds about right.

Either you are also a troll, or you are as confused and uneducated as these kids seem to be.

So because I don't like power chords played in the utmost basic progressions with whiny, shitty vocals sung over them I must be 'uneducated', what and odd way of looking at the world.

 

[barbzilla]

You are being trolled.

Calm down, and stop letting people on youtube get to you.

All there is to this topic, really.

And seriously - did you really see a video with a flamebite title, which you knew would enrage you, and watched through the whole ten minutes of it? Dude, you just...I think you really did work hard for that facepalm you did. I'd only consider watching it if it was, like 1 minute. Maybe 2. I can't be bothered if it was any longer. Certainly wouldn't when it not only looks like a flamebite but you're a proof it is.

Yeah OP, DoPo and Shadowstar38 pretty much beat me to it. You're also on YouTube, what I like to call one of the stupidity hives of the Internet. Just don't let it get to you. I can understand as I'm a violinist attempting metal songs. Yes, you read that correctly. So don't let it get to you and move on.

Imagine if we tried getting all of the news networks to get a taste of unconventional culture...

I have to agree with you. I play a cello and I also do metal (not original mind you, but I tend to cover a lot of Apocalyptica) so it isn't unheard of to play a bowed string instrument for metal.

OP: These kids are aiming to troll on youtube (which is quite common for a place who's top rated videos are often childish pranks and people posting other people's professional works). Calm down and make a RE: video if you want to say something to them about their ignorance. Hell make it a persuasive research video.
