Now, despite being only in my late teens, I'm pretty old-fashioned. I grew up with bands like Queen, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and Aerosmith, just to name a few, and Iron Maiden, Disturbed and Metallica have shaped my current music taste. As you can see, I prefer just Classic Rock and good old Heavy Metal and pre-2000's Thrash.
That's not to say I hate the stuff that's popped up in the last decade - well, some of it. I really like Godsmack, Rage Against The Machine, and Bullet For My Valentine, and a few other newer bands.
BUT.
Since when did screaming your lungs out and roaring, "fuck you, fuck the world, I'll fuck-ing kill all of you" count as Metal? As far as I'm concerned, bands like Suicide Silence and Five Finger Death Punch have ruined everything. Even worse, they've made the world view this kind of cacophony as what ALL Metal is like. You got people comparing Led Zep to Death Rot, for God's sake. I'm ashamed to see what my favourite genre has become in the last decade.
No offense to anyone who actually likes this screamy bullsh*t. To each their own and all that.
