How many of you out here at UMOS snub your nose up to the kids that like nu-metal, rap etc. right in their face ? Just curious.

YA know why I dont listen to rap and this isnt Racist ... its Because I AM WHITE and DONT LIVE IN A GHETTO that kind of music was not written for White trash like me and I also cant condone a form of music that will steal samples from other songs to make new ones ... As Metal church put it "I cant believe my ears, the Music of these days, the Human factor has diminished in oh so many ways" I will never teel you that you shouldnt listen to rap I just personally think its the worst shit ever made garbage even and that I would rather listen to country anyday of the week

Great response JD. I was walking through Spencer's in the mall when all of a sudden Savatage came on over the in store system. I was talking out loud and said "I can't believe they are playing Savatage here" to Harumi, when a young black guy with big loose pants and relaxed longish hair replied "I put that on. That's my favorite band." I looked like Wiley Coyote with his mouth hanging on the ground.
I bitch and raise hell about nu-metal just like everyone else, but IT IS a starting point for some people. It is easier to recruit those from that genre than from some others.

Heh, there's this black guy who lives in my area called "Dude Man". and he's a HUGE Van Halen fan! He plays guitar also, jams out a bunch of Eddie licks all the time. Just thought I'd share that! LOL

I just make fun of the korntards and the Maggots on another site but it's just jokes. To each thier own on taste. It's cool.

I know when I was growing up in the sticks in the days before the internet, I only knew about the commercial shit that's on the radio. Little did I know that 99% of the good music out there never hits the airwaves.
So my stance is that all of those kids in the mall listening to Korn or Nickleback or System of a Down or whatever the flavor of the month is just don't know any better. So maybe it's just being "educated" and not a "snob". Of course I probably come off like a snob saying shit like this, so I guess I can't win

Naw its not really What I meant with my remarks didnt come out right .... and for the record Rocky George is one of the more Underated guitarists of all time! Man he was good!
HMMMMM...I started with rap, I lived in a black hood and all of my friends were black, my dad got me into Donna summer and Elvis and I later discovered ZZ-Top, Queen, and Scorpions.
Then started looking for heavier stuff. Nu-metal doesn't really move me when I listen to it, and in person I don't give nu-metal kids a lot of respect. But I do like the first and last System of a Down albums, The singer makes me laugh.HAR!!!

If you've noticed I try to let the rest of know when some modern bands catch my eye... There's a lot of pursists that slam people any chance they get, on the boards.
I will bet my left nut that, they are spineless bitches & don't do it to their faces, in person.

I was never into mallcore. EVER. I went from rap, to an experimental phase, trying out a whole bunch of genres and mallcore was never one of them, it NEVER appealed to me. Then i got into metal,classic rock, then old school punk. I used to hate punk overall, but now i love the old school stuff.
As for mallcore fans. Naw, i don't act snobbish. When they tell me their favorite bands, i just go "hmmmm. Hey, listen to these guys." That's it. When they list mallcore or even metalcore bands, i see that as an open door to give them the real stuff. Overkill works GREAT for recruiting newbies, by the way.
