When did I ever say they were groundbreaking? I basically said the exact opposite. I've been listening to metal for about 6 or 7 years now, I'm relatively new but I'm way past the point of jerking off over "catchy melodies"... believe me I look for much more in most music I listen to, and although you don't see anything more in Moonsorrow, I DO, and that's all that matters. You tell people not to assume anything about you, so don't be a hypocrite and assume I'm fresh to metal just cause I like some bands you don't like.

perhaps i did assume you were newer to metal than that, but how could one not, when you are boasting about moonsorrow and converge as if theyre the 2nd coming of jesus? good god man, theyre VERY average average average bands in a scene of a lot of gems. how you find the time in the day for them i may never know. and id rather not "assume" that i do know.

The 2nd coming of Jesus? I'm simply defending two bands I enjoy from a WHOLE BOARD of people who are shitting on them. Never did I say either were genius or groundbreaking (although I would say Converge is in the metalcore/hardcore/whatever you wanna call it scene... but thats not really saying much :rolleyes:... and in my personal opinion Moonsorrow is a, or maybe THE gem in the whole folk metal group of bands... as theyre pretty much the only one I listen to). They don't do it for you, I get it, but they do it for me, and I find a lot of enjoyment from them. Believe me, I've listened to A LOT of different metal bands over these 6 or 7 years, and I do like most of the ones you've discussed on this board (and quite a lot of the non-metal ones as well), but if I find the level of enjoyment that I do in these two bands, I'm not going to stop listening to them because you don't like them. I've never denied you have good taste in music but I'm not gonna model my taste after yours.
 
I guess metalcore every bit as derivative as say, power metal but that doesn't mean that there aren't any good bands in the genre; Converge, Orchid and Cave In being notable examples.
