punk rock sucks

[dfryer]

I think dismissing an entire genre of music with a \"well it sucks\" is a pretty lame-brained approach to life.  It\'s far more entertaining to pick an artist and then deconstruct the music piece-by-piece to demonstrate that it\'s overdone/pretentious/fake/obscene/noisy/wimpy as you see fit.

You would have no patience to listen to my 6 page response telling you why nu-metal sucks... heck I wouldn\'t even want to write down my own feelings on the subject because who wants to convert people that are too ignorant to find good music for themselves..

all those crappy nu-metal and new punk rock bands owe their existence to MTV.. crap channel numero uno..

of course it\'s a matter of taste what you like, but liking a band because of the fact that it actually writes music for the sake of music, and not just to earn money off ignorant teens, is so much more rewarding than jumping the wave and be like all the others..

And so what if Slipknot writes about their own sad problems? they still appeal to you, they still suck, and no one seems to notice that the whole idea behind them is so extremely clich?.. Sure, there\'s no one exactly like them, but they\'re still all alike, grounded the fact that they make music to earn money, not to achieve cult status or anything like that.

My oppinion is, thankfully, shared by the millions of others who have seen the light and walked the true path..

here are some funny links, fun in the sense that they\'re right.. sad enough

Nu-metal..

Yes, there\'s room for one more.. Yes, nu-metal sucks bad..

Xalth, pretty funny links
Let\'s not take this discussion into a flamefest of genre-comparisons, you can start a new thread for that

Maggot, the rules are based on stereotypical perceptions, designed to make people laugh.  Whether you like it or not, that\'s how some people imagine the \"typical\" Slipknot fan...

I\'m not really comparing the genres, I\'m telling you that the genre Nu-metal sucks in general.. I\'ll concede to the point that not all bands suck equally, there are different degrees of crappy music, but in general, it sucks..

I can, and will continue debating this untill the end of the world, since metal is a great genre that doesn\'t need it\'s name polluted by crappy music like the stuff most nu-metal bands mass produce nowadays..

Some of the links say you look like fred durst and say \"Shaznit\" on a daily basis..

There are lots of equally funny links out there regarding my style of music, I\'m sure you\'re bright enough to go find some rules for Death, Doom and Black-metal and you can have a laugh at me.. I\'m not like the stereotypal people described there either, but I still find it funny..
