Metal

Metal is an umbrella term (a super-genre) used to refer to a broad range of musical genres, with heavy metal being the predominant implication. However, it usually needs further clarification, since numerous subgenres of metal may vary dramatically in almost every aspect, ranging from vocals and lyrical themes to instruments and song structures.

I have to say that the part about metal being nothing but screaming was the funniest part. Especially because there are metal bands with female opera singers. The part about metal musicians being fat and ugly was pretty damn funny too. Especially because there are metal bands with female singers that look 10 times better than any girl you'll ever be with. If you like men, don't worry, there are a lot of metal bands with members that have short hair and aren't fat. Oh, the part about metal fans being uncivilized was extremely funny too. Especially because it's coming from you; a person who keeps insulting any person who listens to metal. Stop being a close minded prick. It's easier to get friends.

Once again, only a fucking idiot who doesn't know shit about metal thinks that all metal is random noises and screaming. A lot of metal bands aren't noisy in any way and have singers that don't scream. You don't know shit about metal so....... BE KIND AND SHUT THE FUCK UP. You don't talk about things that you don't know shit about. Yes, I know real ambient artists and some metal artists are just as atmospheric as them, but you'll never know that because you're a close minded bigot who judges entire genres based on only 2 or 3 bands even if the genres are extremely diverse. I can't believe that people over 20 can be that close minded. People like you are the reason why the world is going to shit.

Yes,well said.This is an ongoing argument. True metalheads are famliy,with relatives all over the world,which blossomed enormously with tape trading in the 80's and file sharing in the millenium.

Only a close minded idiot who doesn't know shit about metal think that metal isn't music. Your comment certainly proves that you're very immature and close minded. I bet that you only know 4 or 5 metal bands and 3 of them are noisy shit (Slipknot, Cannibal Corpse, etc...) that you heard on MTV. Metal is actually one of the most diverse music genres. There's something for everyone. Yes, some bands are noisy, but A LOT are extremely melodic and catchy. Yes, some metal singers only scream, but A LOT have beautiful voices. Yes, some bands have dumb immature lyrics, but A LOT have extremely intelligent/deep lyrics about interesting subjects (no swearing whatsoever). You won't hear them on MTV because MTV is mostly cheap music. I see that you like electronic music. Well, there is a electronic metal subgenre. Of course, you didn't know that. Oh, you like ambient? Well, there is a ambient metal subgenre and it's very atmospheric. Of course, you didn't know that.

Its a tag.. with lots of little sub-tags... its like 'horror' some of its crap and contains as many scares as a trip to Mothercare with Granny and some will rip your face off and ram it down your neck to soil your best undercrackers with... still horror though... still metal whether its Moonspell or Linkin park just under dfferent headings of the same wonderful genre
