Some of the "music students" in my year claim beats are the best headphones in the world, and even do mixing on them.

Music reviews that are totally wrong, and not in the sense I disagree with their opinion, I mean objectively wrong, like they get the reasons behind an album wrong and that sort of stuff. For example. [url]http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/12547/Devin-Townsend-Ziltoid-the-Omniscient/[/url] Fucking, really, despite the fact Dev wanted this to be a solo album, just to let some shit out and to do it to prove that he could do it on his own, this guy completely missed that.
People who call Dubstep, ''Dub''. Dub is a different genre, and can sound completely different. Yes, I do know about the link between the two genres.
[quote]Townsend has been known to rehash riffs in the past, but normally it's masked by outstanding emotion or unpredictable song structures and instrumentation. Not so here; this is an emotionless collection that lacks any sort of purpose. Coined a "self-parody," it turns around and laughs at its awfulness as an excuse to be awful[/quote] Every single last atom, every last iota, every last virtual photon of my what.

I mean if he calls a guy an asshole in a review then gives him a low rating, then it's perfectly acceptable. :downs:
Reading the comments on it man, I genuinely can't handle it, just finished my pizza so i'm going to the vending machines to get some sugar and calm down. Honest to christ, don't read the comments.

The guy himself has actually said "So yeah it's about Ziltoid on a great journey of self discovery, he's the main protagonist HMMM I WONDER WHAT THIS COULD ALL BE A METAPHOR FOR" He said it himself it's about how he was feeling at the time, that he had to set out to prove he could really do solo stuff amongst other things, and the re use of certain riffs links his work together, which again fits with the deeper concept. BUT THE COMMENTS OH MAN Townsend was soooooooooooo good in SYL. I dont know what the hell he was thinking when he made his solo projects. Awesome review and I will not be checking this out anytime soon. Seriously fuck this shit, fuck reviews.
I'm coming out
People who say "dub" instead of dubstep when dub is a different (and better btw) genre.

Dub is like my joint favourite genre of music :iia:

Metalheads.

People that think you are dumb for liking a certain band or genre. When words are used over and over. I listen to post-hardcore a lot, and I hear the word "change" and "you" in almost every single song. It's so annoying hearing that. Every album seems to have a sad song and each of those sad songs aren't about something depressing, they're about the lead singer bitching about some dumb bimbo. Really low unclean vocals. They're just annoying. Pig squealing. Kill whoever thought of such a thing. Pretty much grindcore in general. [QUOTE=EpicPokingStick;30116010]What?[/QUOTE] Pig squealing sounds like a money and pig hybrid puking it's guts out. Listening to it and enjoy it is similar to listen that weird sound a koala makes an enjoying it. And almost everything about grindcore is terrible IMO. The drummer uses nothing but the snare drum, the guitarists just go up and down the guitar over and over and over, and the vocalist growls about who he wants to kill one day. Also: inb4 it's dumb to have opinions.

gay accents people put on in songs
[QUOTE=Broryt;30072801]People who judge an entire album by the cover, name or genre. WHY Also when people listen to just THAT song from a artist. Go to lastFM and take a look at Midnight Oil, for example.[/QUOTE] I do have to say that I give priority to albums that appear appealing when going through lists of stuff to check out.

[QUOTE=Artemis;30117544]I do have to say that I give priority to albums that appear appealing when going through lists of stuff to check out.[/QUOTE] I do this too. But I find it's mostly ineffective because a lot of bad metal bands have really cool artwork.

Stuff like that just calls my name.
My used-to-be friend who claims to be [i]really[/i] music savvy, but only listens to: Avenged Sevenfold Lostprophets Bullet For My Valentine Children of Bodom He also listened to Santana for about 2 weeks so he could tell our soon-to-be music teacher that he was into other genres. He just bought a "metulzz" guitar (He claims he's a metalhead) for over £300 and now he's complaining that he wants another. He uses the term arpeggio [i]really[/i] incorrectly. I've said this before, I know. He was asked what an arpeggio was by the teacher and he replied "Well I know that it's in the key of E". :doh: Trivial things, I know, but they just irritate me.

WBTBWB isn't even grindcore, it's totally unserious electro-deathcore
[QUOTE=Stizzles;30118445]WBTBWB isn't even grindcore, it's totally unserious electro-deathcore[/QUOTE] With initials like WBTBWB, you'd imagine it's some shitty scene band that are called grindcore by fucking retards
