Heavy metal is typically characterized by a distorted guitar-led sound, morbid themes and lyrics, straightfoward rhythms and classical or symphonic styles. However, heavy metal subgenres have their own stylistic variations on the original form that often omit many of these characteristics.

According to Allmusic.com, "Of all rock & roll's myriad forms, heavy metal is the most extreme in terms of volume, machismo, and theatricality. There are numerous stylistic variations on heavy metal's core sound, but they're all tied together by a reliance on loud, distorted guitars (usually playing repeated riffs) and simple, pounding rhythms."

Distorted amplification of the guitars is used to create a powerful or 'heavy' sound. The result is simple, although some of the original heavy metallers joked that their simplified sound was more the result of limited ability than of innovation. Later, more intricate solos and riffs became a big part of heavy metal music. Guitarists use sweep-picking, tapping and similar techniques for rapid playing, and many subgenres are now praising virtuosity over simplicity.

[Thrash]was pioneered by the 'Big Four Of Thrash', Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer, with bands like San Francisco's Testament, New Jersey's Overkill and Brazil's Sepultura also making an impact. Meanwhile an even harsher sound was coming from Europe, as Germany's Destruction, Kreator and Sodom used harsher vocals and a generally more aggressive sound in a style that would later influence Black and Death Metal.

Pop punk is a term applied to a style of punk rock music, most popular in the 2000s but beginning in the late 1970s. The sound broke into the mainstream with the popularity of Green Day and The Offspring's respective albums, Dookie and Smash. The style of music is usually more melodic than other punk rock. The most recognizable names in the pop-punk mainstream today include Green Day, blink-182, and Fall Out Boy.
...
The new millennium brought on a host of major label pop punk groups which pushed catchy singalong melodies and simple sugar-coated guitar solos. The emo strain had also crossed back into the punk genre. New Found Glory mocked and embraced the "boy band" culture surrounding Britney Spears, N'Sync, and Backstreet Boys. Allister, The Ataris, Midtown, Fall Out Boy, The All-American Rejects, Simple Plan, and Good Charlotte are some of the bands achieving widespread notoriety. Bowling For Soup also clocked in with some nerd tunes with almost a nod to parody artist Weird Al Yankovic.

GIVE UP. There is your fucking proof, now get the hell out.

 

[PanzerKunt]

ABBA is also metal, people with black tshirts can't keep it all to themselves!

 

[King Richard]

Who the fuck would want that picture in their sig?

 

[starco]

Eep, looks like I was wrong.

Ok, sp is not metal, I still like it. I like some metal. Should I decide what do I like more and stick to it? Metal or punk (which seems to be sp's genre)?

 

[PanzerKunt]

Yeah you are only allowed to listen to one, 1, genre.

I just want to be the first one to say...



NO FUCKING SHIT YOU STUPID CUNT

 

[PanzerKunt]

Who the fuck would want that picture in their sig?

Hey man, Goatseman ist Krieg as you can see obviously.

 

[derek]

I'm actually pretty speechless regarding this whole thing.

 

[The_Isle]

jeez man fuck off with the gay sigs Panzerkunt

 

[PanzerKunt]

you get 0 points for having no humor

 

[starco]

I have to agree, with all due respect that signature is disgusting. I'd say it's a fag signature, but I don't like the homo bashing.

 

[PanzerKunt]

and you get -2 points for being political correct

I have to agree, with all due respect that signature is disgusting. I'd say it's a fag signature, but I don't like the homo bashing.

So what's the point of even saying it? Furthermore, after this thread, what makes you think your opinion even matters?

 

[starco]

Sorry vampire lady. I will do as you say.

Seriously, now that you finally proved your fucking point and I admitted sp is not metal, can you recommend me some stuff based on the bands I said I listened to?

And my previous question: should I just stop listening to sp even if I like them?

 

[PanzerKunt]

Listen to whatever the fuck you want! Nobody cares if you listen to Sum42 or whatever the hell as long as you don't bitch about it here. It's called "not being a wannabe poseur". Grow up.

 

[starco]

I don't want to be a poseur, that's the point of asking. I mean, I love simple plan, but if that doesn't make me a metalhead, I can stop listening to them or at least hide it.

 

[PanzerKunt]

omfg

Dolt

 

[starco]

I should just start imagining that signature is an evil alien or something, looking at that anus is hard to the retina.
