"Because LINKIN PARK SUCKS BECAUSE THEY'RE NU METAL!"That would be an initial-er-Metal fan who doesn't like Nuer stuff (see what I did there?).For example: I think Pantera has some of the most meaningful lyrics I've heard of. I don't even listen to the music anymore, I listen to the words outta Phil's mouth. Even though opinions can't be wrong (or right), what other regulars on this topic say make my opinions seem like they're the wrongest one they've heard.Another one: Pop, Rap, and Country aren't music to me, but the stupid masses somehow enjoy it.Okay, to begin with, 'Is Linkin Park a good band?' and 'Is Linkin Park Nu-metal?' aren't his question at all. He's questioning the distinctions between rock and metal, which is honestly a pretty confusing and ultimately fairly blurred line, and someone more well-versed in metal than me should probably answer that. I'm not going to address that in this post.What I am going to address is the last part of your response.You can't say that a genre of music 'isn't music' because you don't like it. Pop, country, and hip-hop/rap are all valid forms of music. I dislike country music intensely. That doesn't make it unmusical. Music is a form of art using sound as a medium, and every form of it is completely valid. Harsh noise is music. Dark ambient is music. 4'33" is music. And claiming that metal or rock or whatever style is more 'meaningful' than another doesn't validate your claims. Even Ke$ha is meaningful to someone.And, for the record, 'stupid masses' do not enjoy pop, hip-hop, and country. People enjoy music, not 'stupid masses' and liking a different genre doesn't give you the right to claim that someone who doesn't is 'stupid'. Saying that people who enjoy something popular that you don't like are wrong and stupid for liking it doesn't make you edgy or subversive, it just makes you shallow and nasty.So: how about you stop complaining that we don't all agree with you and actually talk about how we all like the genre this topic is devoted to? Here, I'll start.Finally got around to listening to The Great Misdirect in full. It might be my favorite BTBAM album.
