Ok hold on, I may have misrepresented myself here.
What I meant to say when I said "most metal fans are smart," I meant to say "Most intelligent people listen to metal." You know, like a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.
(My post may get confusing here. There are so many arguments in this thread and I'm just pointing out what I can remember without looking through the thread to weed stuff out.)
All the metal subgenres... I stand for what I said. It is completely stupid to have to many god damn genres. Death and Black metal? Symphonic? What the hell is that? When I listen to my music, I call it metal. I listen from everything to Children of Bodom to Metallica, ranging over tons of different styles. Not once do I consider it a seperate genre.
It's so out of hand that I'm going to have to post a list of bands I listen to for years to find out what genres they are, so I don't look like an idiot when I post in a thread entitled "The Black Metal Thread" and say Dimmu Borgir. Would have I been better off if I had said Opeth or The Haunted? In my mind, no. Metal is metal.
~Im finishing this post because I want to go play WoW. Laters.
