Alright everyone... lets hear your Top 5 for:
1. Why you "hate", "dislike" (or whatever) mainstream music.
2. Why do you "like", or "love" underground metal.
Mine:
1. i) Too many people are trying make it big in the music industry just to make the big dollars when really they dont care about the music itself.
ii) How many of those top name bands actually spend time with their fans on a 1 on 1 basis, and talk about whatever.
iii) Most of the songs put out on radio or whatever are catchy at first but hearing it 5-10 times, it just gets annoying.
iv) Its a sad world when you have teens/kids and even adults try to fit in with what is "cool" now a days. They start buying shirts, and so on, when they probably only like one song, or even listened to one song by the band and think they're the greatest band ever.
v) When people can't make up their own minds to the music they actually like, by instead they "go with the flow".
2. i) These guys and girls make music for the fun of it and they make it the way they want to without having record companies breathing down their necks about what they can and can't release.
ii) Most of these bands stay hours after the show, signing autographs, taking pictures, and talking to the fans on a normal basis.
iii) Most of the talent is in the underground metal scene and not in the mainstream. Lyrics are expressed in ways which no one mainstream could ever think of. From artists like stanne, michael(opeth), sundin, vintersorg, and so on. These people are well respected for their creative talents.
iv) Concerts performed live are done in a excellent fasion. They don't need all these huge props, stages, fireworks, and so on to put on a great show. They show it by their onstage presents.
v) Metalheads are given these stereotypes such as being "mean, huge guys with long hair"... All I listen to is metal and Im not mean, or huge, or have long hair. Most metalheads are really nice people.
