Controversial opinions on metal

[waif]

Your friend is retarded.
Anyhow, it annoys me when people criticize a genre or something in a genre they don't like. Obviously you don't like it, you hate that genre, and thus your opinion on it beyond stating a dislike for the genre is not valid.

 

[S<issors]

Opinions are "valid" and "invalid" now?

But I see what you mean.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Not really one or the other... Opinions are always valid, it just depends on how you state them. It is possible to respect something you hate, believe it or not.

As in "I can see what people like about bands X Y Z, but I can't stand them. They "move"/entertain me not. Or something to that extent.

 

[The Ozzman]

If you can state intelligent reasons why you hate something, an opinion isn't necessarily invalid.

 

[DarkBliss]

The problem is to state them thus without slipping into pretentious nonsense.

 

[waif]

Okay. Valid is the wrong word.
He should have said "I don't like power metal, and I don't like edguy."
And then we could all have been like "well no shit."

Not everyone in Africa is black though, but I see your point

Sex Farm, Big Bottom and Stone Henge are the best alt black metal songs.

They're progressive black metal though...

The purpose of this thread is slipping when people get called retards and morons for stating their controversial opinion, then you just as well might go to Africa and call everyone my pals and receive what's coming to you, on the other hand an explanation for every opinion should also be presented.

Not necessarily. Just because this is the controversial opinions thread, doesn't make said opinions immune to scrutiny. If I think someone's opinion is stupid, I'm gonna fucking call them on it.

That's like saying not everyone in Asia is Asian.

This. It's the controversial opinions thread, not the "say whatever the fuck you want and not get flamed" thread.

i don't like metallica because metallica sucks ass!

 

[The Ozzman]

That's like saying not everyone in Asia is Asian.

What? There are native South Africans who are white.

Chocholate can be white too and it's still chocolate.
