So stuff that isn't even metal like hair rock and mallcore is on there, yet real stuff is missing. Great.

Fortunately, my two genres were represented.

 

[Tubbs]

How about someone makes another poll that actually does have those genres on it and stop complaining?

Make the ultimate super poll.

We have one stupid poll thread, why would we need two, even if the other was an improvement upon the first?

I don't know.

hah
nu metal is too broad of a genre to like anyway..
a couple "decent" bands in it that shouldn't be thrown in with the other 99.9% of shitty bands considered nu.

Stop changing your avatar!! Oh my god it's been like three times in one day man!

 

[Mormagil]

you guys could have just voted for nu metal instead of making this thread two pages long and it would have sent the same message

 

[E6V6I6L]

when it comes to metal i prefer death and grindcore.

i listen to too much non-metal stuff to say that those are my favorite types of music. i'm listening to Neil Diamond as i type this.

 

[anonymouswierdo]

I suppose there should have been at least a "other" option.

 

[OfManAndMetal]

no that still wouldnt have saved this thread...

 

[anonymouswierdo]

Maybe, but it wouldn't have started quite as ill.


EDIT: How 'bout start making suggestion for a new one. I'll suggest: Power, Thash, aaaannnnd, Viking.

How is thrash metal amongst the myriad of sub-genres? It's arguably the most highly recognised version of traditional metal.

Emphasis mine. You just answered your question.

It's not metal fans being strange, it's because there is an immense amount of variation within metal, what would be more strange is if we just called everything just "metal",

You don't think 'mallcore' is a bit...excessive? I think it is. Especially if there is little-to-no defining musical descriptions that seperates this certain type of music from its other sub-genres.

And I gotta be honest with you, as my first post explained and has been so far unanswered, I have yet to learn what 'doom metal' and 'metalcore' are supposed to be so I'll probably be referring to these as simply 'metal' until then.

Lastly, I simply disagree. If there is a new sub-genre of metal created, this should be a big deal. It should be 1983-big-deal, not some generic term used to describe the 'metal flavor of the month'.

like you might call the BeeGees and Britney Spears both "pop".

Point taken. Although comparing disco to mallcore is again excessive, in my opinion.

Go to www.metal-archives.com and to a search for musical genre "doom." 2220 results. "Metalcore" yields 424 results. There are a shitload more metalcore bands than that.

Mallcore may not be a valid musical classification, but these two definitely are.

As I remember, Doom is supposed to be slow and haunting. I'm probably wrong though.

Agreed. Disco was much more artistically sound.

You put a genre like hair metal in and you didn't do thrash? WTF mate?

Of those Death by far.
