who cares what other people like in music?? i mean really why should u care? So the guy listens to limp bizkit and thinks that slipknot are hardcore (which they ARE compared to any other stuff which most people get to hear), most people who are into metal were like that at one stage, why? because underground metal is umm underground, it has a bad public image and its hard to get into at first (vocals/speed/etc), and has so many subgenres that its so easy to get the wrong idea if you listen to the wrong CDs first. So people either get introduced to the good stuff by friends, or grow up on the stuff, otherwise they are just never gonna hear it or even know about it. So if they like limp bizkit and slipknot then maybe they are the type of person who just needs that introduction to 'real' metal and suddenly theyll be just like you.
i mean abusing somebody just because they have different music tastes and get different things from music is so intolerant. Believe it or not, every single person is ignorant just like this guy you talked about, we cant possibly explore every single underground scene for every type of music/art/movie/etc, so we choose to explore some and have no idea about others, but the greatest ignorance is to think we arent ignorant. With that in mind realise that this person is no worse or better than you, simply different, and maybe a helpful push in the underground metal direction would be greatly appreciated.
i wouldnt get along so well with people who like limp bizkit because i think generally they have a different personality, but it just seems a little extreme to attack someone just because they like a certain band.
