Metal and Beyond

[Doomwatcher]

Just out of curiosity, would you regard yourself as a “ ture metahead” that listens wholly to metal and consider the other genres outside of metal pretty worthless?

Or are you open-minded and be willing to explore what non-metal music offers?

 

[no country for old wainds]

I listen to quite a bit of classical, and stuff like Dead Can Dance, Lord Wind, etc.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I listen to a lot of ambient, rock, noise, etc. So I'm very open-minded when it comes to music.

These days, it's more like I'm a non-metalhead, but am willing to explore what metal has to offer. Contemporary metal is usually ugly, boring, depressive, and/or just plain crap, which only exists to waste my time, money and bandwidth.

I am very open-minded and just listen to whatever I think sounds good. No "true" this or "true" that.

As it should be.

I also somewhat find most of today’s metal rather derivative, bland and lacking new ideas myself.

 

[Kenneth R.]

i'm metal because i listen to diverse music, and still love metal.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

I listen to all sorts of things, but about 90% of my musical diet is Metal.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Metal is a diverse enough genre to largely satisfy my musical needs, especially considering for derivative metal as long as it does something original within the template and is fun. I'd say I listen to metal a good 95% of the time.

 

[sonofhendrix13]

metal is just another genre of music that i listen to. its my favorite and i do listen to it more than other genres but i listen to rock almost as much. so i cant really say im a diehard metal fanatic.

 

[MasterOLightning]

I listen mostly to metal with some prog rock and some other stuff mixed in. To say that most of today's metal is bland and derivative may be true, but there are still 15-20 years worth of metal, most of which I haven't heard. If today's stuff isn't cutting it, go back a few years. I know it will take a very long time before I have to wait for new releases in order to hear something "new".

I listen to all genres of music. Different genres of music effect me in different ways. Most often I listen to metal, but I own quite a few non-metal cd's that I listen to, just not as much on a regular basis as my metal cd's.

 

[E6V6I6L]

i listen to whatever. if i like it, i listen to it.

 

[Christie_fell]

Well said. Most of what I choose to listen to is metal, but diversity is good. Classical, jazz, rock, Renaissance chamber music, Gregorian chant, etc...However, metal does indeed have a wide array of styles that seem to satisfy any craving.

 

[AsModEe]

I listen only to music that appeals to my ears. Metal does that. Punk, rap, pop, country don't. I'm open-minded on music, but I don't like everything. Only the music interests me, I don't care about any ideology or philosophy that some bands want to promote.

 

[RosesofShadow]

I can't stand a day without listening to metal music. I disregard emo, pop, r&b, punk, rap and all those mainstream shit. But i am open to Jazz (woah the crazy instrumentals!) Classical, prog rock, ambient...

i wouldn't consider myself a metalhead at all.
