[QUOTE=AK'z;35091763]Well I wasn't expecting you to blow up in a frenzy. I didn't realise it takes one tiny thing to trigger that. :/
I guess I'll skip doing that to you next that.[/QUOTE]
Again, making shit up. You missed the part that I find this quite funny.
I may type like I'm angry but I rarely am, and when I am it's usually over the internet being really slow.

[QUOTE=Pierrewithahat;35091765]No idea but he really isn't dubstep, it's really funny when you play some dubstep and a Skrillex fan goes "what the hell is that shit?" "Dubstep" "Skrillex is dubstep, that's not."
All of my why.

Just be comforted by the fact that they're set to look like an idiot to other people as well.
[QUOTE=Eluveitie;35091458]People judge books by their covers way too often.[/QUOTE]
That's because most god damn books don't have pictures in them.
[QUOTE=AK'z;35091509]Yeah but you just denied Skrillex being "actual dubstep", seems clear that the fans get to you on that basis.
It doesn't matter how popular the music is. Unless you focus your attention on lesser known artists which is all good.[/QUOTE]
but skrillex actually isn't representative of dubstep as a musical style at all so it's a legitimate comment.
in other words make sure you know about what you're posting before you click post reply.

Surely it can't be THAT abstract.
Yeah I should get to an album of his in a tick.
I don't really grow out of my music, I tend to get tired of it for a while, but come back to it later.
However, I do increase my music taste. I used to hate rock, but I started liking it a little now.
Bleh a couple weeks ago this "growing out of genres" thing popped into my head, and I got curious if it had anything to do with my personality in the last years, so I began thinking. It got to a point it was hard to keep everything organized in my head so I started writing.
After I finished writing, I suddenly realized I had overthought, as I spent 1 hour and half writing 3 pages on word.
But a much shorter version of it is like this:
Didn't really listen to music > Stuff in GH3 > Calmer, upbeat rock > Mixture of heavy/light music, with some electronic > Slowly grow into heavy metal > Melodic Death Metal > Melodeath + some other Metal sub genres + Electronic + Seal > Much more open to music, though the favorites are: Same as before + Reggae + Stoner Metal.
I can't bear trying to listen most of the stuff I used to. Two that I can still do so is Dope and Korn, which I began listening again lately.
Korn are actually alright, though i used to totally trash them for years. For understandable reasons, a lot of metalheads ain't fond of the nu-metal years, only recently is the critical community coming round to it as a legit style/period of metal

Try that telling that one to Vedi. :v:
I don't really listen to anything I listened to in high school, bar System of a Down. Anything that I listen to now is because of what I listened to in high school though. :v:

Yeah same, I used to listen to trv metvl. Now I listen to Pop Punk and all other genres that weren't trv enough.
i have a playlist of brutal death metal and synth pop

Honestly man it's essentially watered down glitch and dubstep mixed together.
And by mixed together I mean like a head on wreck involving two 18 wheelers, where both drivers are left as paraplegics.
Oh please, Skrillex is just making dance music with rougher bass in it.
i used to listen to dragonforce while playing GMod/CSS when i was in 6th grade
to be honest, listening to some of the songs (not TTFAF) brings back a very nostalgic feeling and it's quite nice
I remember when I liked Linkin Park like 10 years ago.
lol

Linkin park are good what choo talkin about?
I used to listen only to metal but now I listen to alot of other genres. I'm experimenting with Post-Hardcore nowadays (not that Escape The Fate shit, like La Dispute and whatnot).
So this is my thing with music:
I used to be the kind of kid that would shun anything modern. All throughout my life I just listened to what my parents listened to. You know, the 60s/70s/80s rock scene. I spent my entire young childhood thinking modern music was pretty much trash (not that extreme, but I was pretty opposed to modern music). Rap was absolutely atrocious to me, and modern pop music was terrible.
I went through a pretty small electronic phase, listening to some techno/trance stuff. Only really happened for a few months honestly.
BOOM, junior year of high school is when it all changed. It was right around the 15/16 year old period of my life. Honestly, I attribute my change in musical taste to actual changes in my personality. My last two years of high school really defined who I am; loads of changes and musical taste was one of them. At that point I started to branching out and listening to some more stuff, but I didn't really outgrow my classic rock roots. I just shifted them from being the center of my musical tastes to being a part of them.
Kanye's MBDTF was the real push into rap for me. Opened me up to the genre. Pretty much listen to everything now. Never lost the taste for the 60s/70s/80s, but I listen to a mix of EVERYTHING. My main Spotify playlist is a ridiculous clash of tastes. Only thing I still haven't broken into is the heavier of metals. Still isn't my cup of tea.
Heavier or the extreme versions?
Some of the accessible metal is heavy as fuck.

Try some drone doom.
[QUOTE=AK'z;35146504]Try some drone doom.[/QUOTE]
I have.
Now try it on acid.
I will, but what's the point of this? I was asking whether that guy couldn't get into heavy metal or the extreme metals.
I dunno, what's the point of asking whether that guy couldn't get into heavy metal or the extreme metals when it's a thread about growing out of genres?
[QUOTE=Gar~;35147391]I dunno, what's the point of asking whether that guy couldn't get into heavy metal or the extreme metals when it's a thread about growing out of genres?[/QUOTE]
Because I was curious.
[editline]15th March 2012[/editline]
Anyway, it wasn't really directed at you, more Akayz. I think he thought I think that extreme metal can't be heavy. Which wouldn't surprise me.
[QUOTE=Eluveitie;35147463]I think he thought I think.[/QUOTE]
:v:
Anyways, I agree with you Eluveitie, some accessible metal can be heavy as fuck.
I mean, look at the band Kiana. They're not that popular, but you can tell by the way their compose their songs that they're trying really hard to be a "mainstream metal" band. Their music has a lot of nu-metal tendencies, though they're still fairly strongly melodic death metal.
Their music is very accessible, as far as metal goes, but it's still heavy as fuck (in my opinion).

And speaking of Disturbed, I will admit that even a few of their songs approach heaviness. I won't say they are heavy, because it's evident that their vocalist restricts them from going full out, but on a few of their songs, you can tell that that the guitarist and the drummer really want to break out.
[QUOTE=AK'z;35146504]Try some drone doom.[/QUOTE]
That's not accessible. lol

[QUOTE=Banned?;35149243]That's not accessible. lol[/QUOTE]
is.
It makes you feel fuzzy.
Has anyone grown out of a genre and gotten back into it later?
Speaking of Disturbed, I used to listen to nu-metal, then I started to think it was pretty lame and stopped listening to it. I guess I just thought of it as juvenile and not overly musical. Now I just see it as fun to listen to, and often it's pretty groovy and I'd almost say I prefer it to most other metal (which I don't listen to a lot of nowadays). And it just sounds so 90's that I can't help but find it appealing now. That said I don't listen to it that much, but it's something that I dismissed completely for a while.
The same kind of thing happened with pop music. Moving on from just listening to popular music is where I really started to get into music, but now I find myself discovering and enjoying pop-styled music that isn't necessarily popular. And the odd full blown pop artist.
I haven't grown out of my music tastes. Still like Hip Hop and heavy metal mostly.
