I don't really like "classic" rock or anything like that. I just don't like Pink Floyd, for example, and others... I only like some fragments of "Mashina Vremeni," as well as other classics of Russian rock.
Although, if I like something, I listen to it, regardless of the genre.
But there are some people who, besides METAL, don't want to listen to anything else, and their only argument is: "It's not METAL, so it's not cool."

I used to watch O2; they had cool, trippy programs with cool, trippy hosts.
And the only music worth listening to is in "Brat' Zhivyom."

Yes, yes, I was talking about these silly (in my opinion) "principles."

I sometimes watch a show about it on O2 in the morning; it's a rerun, but I don't mind. It seems like it usually airs in the evening, though...

I'm dealing with some nonsense)
No, seriously, it's snowing, I live in Murmansk.

What's up, REALLY???7 And I live in Moscow, and we also have snow today, right?

Hmm... what are you doing here?

Top secret information.

Oh, is that so?:smile51:

It's been a while)

not really) not surprising)

I didn’t even try; I just provided information.

well, then it's just not interesting (I don't really know what it is though :))

ooo, Wolf, it almost rhymes))

There was a chitoklon, and now there is no chitoklon.

As they say: look twice. Here he is gone, and here he is again.

Areg, you should keep an eye on yourself. Judging by my observations, you probably don't listen to much music yourself.
As for metalheads (by the way, yes, with two Ls) – there are two categories of people here: some listen to this style of music not because it's cool, but simply because they like it, and others because it *is* cool. Among the people who share my taste in music and with whom I enjoy communicating, no one says that you should only listen to metal. The rest are just poseurs, a disgrace to the genre. Sometimes it's embarrassing that I listen to the same music as them. However, they mostly listen to heavier stuff, not necessarily the more beautiful stuff.
I have a question – do those who prefer other genres ever limit themselves to their favorite? Nonsense. There are a lot of electronic music lovers who only listen to that. If you suggest they listen to classical music, what will they say?
And also, about subgenres. They are fundamentally different. Let's not pretend there's no difference between Lumen and Purgen, or between Muse and Blink 182. It's all the same! xD

I'm listening to The Prodigy's early work, and I feel ashamed :smile04:
But seriously, if I mostly only like metal, why should I listen to anything else?

And saying "only listening to metal is just for show" is, at the very least, stupid.

By the way, regarding Muse, what do you think of them? I was thinking of listening to them, is it worth it? As for me, I listen to electronic music like KMFDM and Die Krupps, which is a bit embarrassing.

Because metal is tasteless =Ъ
Actually, phrases about how you shouldn't listen to only one type of metal are no better than phrases about how everything except metal is garbage. Every normal person understands that there is a lot of other good music. Maybe it's just not to their taste. For example, I can't listen to The Beatles, even though they are undeniably great.

Are you starting to embarrass yourselves?) Okay, I listen to ABBA.

What does listening to only metal have to do with being foolish?
I meant that listening to only metal because it's cool and not even wanting to consider other styles (whatever you want to call them) is foolish, but that's just my opinion.

Exz, but The Muses aren't punk; they're progressive rock. What's the common thread there? And if you take metal subgenres, there's at least one common thread – the name "metal" itself. At least that much, I won't delve into the finer points of musical structure, but similarities definitely exist. If they didn't, it wouldn't be called metal... just Dead or Black, not Dead-metal and Black-metal, right?

As for fans of other music, I don't know (but probably yes, they only listen to their own). But I was talking about genres in rock.

Meg, you're unbelievable, as always. I said that listening to only metal is stupid?
I said that listening to only one genre (in this example, metal, because I've encountered it more often among rock genres) and calling everything else "crap" without even listening to it is stupid.
And did I include you in that group? I said that you only listen to metal because you're afraid to listen to something else because it's not cool or something? No, I didn't say that because I don't know that and can't claim it. So, before you write, read more carefully

Mötley Crüe, In Flames, Slipknot, and Marilyn Manson all have completely different styles. So, let's not compare them.
