So what's the worst genre genre of metal?

[The Ozzman]

I wouldn't say grindcore is the worst, but it's the one I can't really get into

 

[SentinelSlain]

nu metal
rap metal

 

[cookiecutter]

My least favorite is power metal, but I hesitate to call any genre the worst

Stop listening to In Flaymz then.

Last three albums = nu-metal influence. They also happen to suck. I only listen to Lunar Strain through Clayman.

I absolutely cannot get into grindcore. I think black metal does have some contradictions, at times. And most brutal death metal repulses me. But I wouldn't call any of these genres bad.
Metalcore doesn't really seem metal to me - mix of hardcore and metal, but the image and lyrics seem more hardcore/emo based to me. I'd be willing to accept it as a genre of metal. Nu-metal and rap metal, however, are not metal. It's angsty, emotional, and angry, it's based on downtuned, simplistic guitar bits and drum rhythms, and it just plain sucks.
I don't like stoner metal, but I don't listen to much of it. Same for doom metal.

Because a majoirty of the scene stands behind the same idea as the Swedish state-owned liqour business: Market stuff you dont want anyone to buy.

 

[False Joe]

Metalcore.

That is all.

 

[skeptik]

Fuck Stoner bullshit.

 

[cookiecutter]

Fuck Stoner bullshit.

Metalcore and Power Metal, Nu Metal isnt as bad as people say, actually most of the Nu Metal bands have turned to a more hard rock sound.
