Classifying

[seedofvengeance]

Since I'm a noob and tend to say noob-esque things, I figure I should seek help to end my noob ways.
I don't completely get how to classify things, I get confused as to where one genre ends and another begins. Like such things as these...
Where does Grind become Slam Death?
When is Death Brutal Death?
When do either of those become Tech-Death?
When does Doom become Entertaining?
These are just a few of my problems.
What I'm aiming for in this thread is just for some genres and their general parameters on what makes them that genre, and maybe some examples of bands from said genres.

Where does Grind become Slam Death?

When does Doom become Entertaining?

When you start liking heavy fucking metal.

 

[PhilDemmel'sSaliva]

Why classify man? Why classify...!?

 

[The Ozzman]

Only noobs ask when doom metal becomes entertaining....oh wait

 

[General Zaroff]

When does Doom become Entertaining?

Once you listen to Ahab - The Call Of The Wretched Sea

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

One look at his signature spells it all out in bright screaming letters.

Once you listen to Ahab - The Call Of The Wretched Sea

Grind and slam death have very little in common besides extremity. Slam and brutal death are usually distinguished from regular death metal by a more rhythm oriented approach, more guttural vocals, more compacted and attacking song structures and generally more blastbeats. Compare Morbid Angel to Brodequin for instance.

There was just another thread posted with almost the exact same topic.

DURRRR DON'T UNDERSTAND DOOM DURRRRR

Yep, I don't, nor have I ever, worn black jeans, had my ears pierced, done anything with my hair, other than wash it, and as a result I look nothing like that. But thanks for your totally uneducated and retarded input, it's always enjoyed. Please crawl back into your hole and continue your unneeded existence.

Anyways... I don't like Doom because it's slow and bores me. I don't like slow, generally. I put that in there, because I was going through the threads to put genres that I wasn't sure on the parameters into my message. I came across Doom and thought that was funny. As always, I am indeed open to any quality bands you wish to recommend me from said genre. Opinions are subject to change.

@cookiecutter... Thanks for actually responding with some sort of help.

edit: Listening to Ahab now, it's ok. Tolerable, I would say. It just seems like every song is an intro track that I skip to get to the heavier/faster songs. I do, though, enjoy the vocals.

Except Morbid Angel is nowhere near Grind.

He didn't say they were. I don't know why he want from delineating grind and slam to "normal" death metal and slam though.

What's wrong with black jeans?

 

[seedofvengeance]

Nothing, unless they damage your balls. I was just making a point that I am in no way a stupid fucking scene kid.

If anything, I look like a grunge kid... but that's just because I'm poor.

I didn't imply they were.

I answered question one then I answered question two. Pretty obvious

I failed reading comprehension apparently.
