Phil Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 I hate seeing lists like that, that try to categorize things to such absurd depths, because it leads to people arguing over why so and so isn't actually subgenre A, but subgenre B, or that they're actually some kind of hybrid subgenre A/B, so now we have a whole new "genre" to try and account for.

Parsley Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Ughh hate seeing bands miscast on such lists. Meh, it's not perfect but I sure as hell ain't typing something from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Conversation does go. We post more metal bands/songs as we go. :) I've just never understood the need to categorize to that depth, because all it does is lead to needless in-fighting within the metal genre itself because two fans of the same band disagree over whatever arbitrary label is being applied to them. It's silly. For me, I tend to just compare bands that I want someone to listen to other acts I think they relate to. It's a lot easier than saying "this is straight up Pok?mon mathematics death core!" as if anyone is going to really know what that means. LOL.

The Dude Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Sigh....nevermind. I bring it up to keep the conversation going in this thread. My bad. Pfffft. Relax. I get why you posted ot. Not a big deal. Just a pet peave, for similar reasons Phil stated. But, i get trying to describe or give a title to the type of music uou like to people.

Phil Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 So do I. I just tend not to get overly caught up in the actual subgenre title. Like if someone asks me "what do Opeth sound like?" I'm going to tell them "melodic death metal where later records have a very prog metal sound and clean vocals, which differentiates them from earlier records where the death metal influence was so much more apparent". I find it's a lot easier to give them a deeper explanation than it is to say "prog metal" or "death metal". Because neither actually describes how they sound. Know what I mean?

The Dude Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Exactly Phil. Seeing Type O Negative listed as "goth" makes me scratch my head, because they wete pretty much a hardcore band from the get go, branching off of Carnivore. Yes they had a lead dinger who sometomes sang like a vampire, but the majority of their music wasnt like that. Yes, they had a couple goofy Halloween themed songs, but they had a shit ton more songs that defined them, and they certainly didn't take themselves seriously. "I used to pick up the garbage, now I write it" doesn't sound gothic to me. Lol, that man was an insane genius. But I get how people try to simplify the answer, though I disagree with that list posted about some bands. Just way off in my opinion. Fear factory as industrial? Since when? NIN and Skinny puppy are industrial. No andry death metal singing in that stuff. But since they use some key boards and add some bass effects that makes them industrial? Guess the list maker missed their first 3 or 4 albums. God was demanufacture a great one.. Ah well. Just someones take on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 I mean. FF to me are an industrial influence metal band, but lists like this that try to define groups into hardened sub genres just lead to arguments, always. It's why I dislike them. Same as why I never do top-X lists. If someone says "what are your top five favorite bands", my response is always to say or write five and add the caveat "in no particular order", because the actual numbers can change by the day.

Phil Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Loving the new self-titled Boysetsfire! Good mix of the harder sound and the melody they've always dabbled in to give records a fresh feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
