How are you guys feeling about all the sub-genres people are using to define music nowadays - do you think it's better to say that one thing is classic metal and another modern for instance? It definitely feels much easier and less pressurizing on people, who won't sometimes know where to place a band when they talk about it Kind of sounds like trying to explain to the older crowd of people at work what music I like. I just go metal and say bands that they could relate to such as Ozzy, Deep Purple and such. They have more of an understanding what you listen to. But the younger generation blows my mind that almost every band has to have a special name for the music they do. Mathcore? Crabcore? Deathcore? I can only tell you that each of them seems to be a sort of trash metal with high pitched girl vocals. I think the sub genres for me are easier to find. Hey I want to find other bands like Messhuggah look up djent, wow look at all them bands *goes click crazy*. -------------------- Guitars:

Well, not sure, but I'm very careful at "labeling" someone's band when talking to musicians and fans, simply because each of us has it's own opinion. We all have our own perceptions of what "it" is. We all respect if someone says crabcore, or simply says metal, it's a different point of view nothing else
When we hear music or sounds, it brings emotions that are on a personal level, so it's best to leave others to have their own personal opinion. I've heard people calling certain music using very disturbing and offensive names, but later on it came to be one of the most popular stuff ever. So, it's definitely a personal preference. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I stopped at classical and rock. Well, not really but almost
It's really hard to put every band in a box with others and label them like they all sound the same, they don't. -------------------- Guitars:

Classification creates a beneficial order and an unwanted chaos.

Classification creates a beneficial order and an unwanted chaos. As long as we don't go crazy on each other for not knowing some of the names as Ben said, it's ok! |
