So, the reason I joined this forum is because the people seem to be tolerant towards more 'alternative' types and fusions of metal genre, even though the extreme metal is probably most popular kind on this forum. Even so, some of the genres (like the top three) usually take a lot of crap/dislike from one reason or another, it doesn't really matter. So, as tolerant and open minded as we all are, we all have some artists/genres we generally don't like, or truly hate.

So, what's your black sheep of the metal family? (and please no crap about 'not metal'). I can respect and tolerate almost anything, but I guess I dislike Black metal the most (and Pornogrind, if you can call it a genre), but there's really no purpose putting poll for it in this forum. Why do I dislike it? I hardly even gave it a try, but it sounds so soulless and empty to me. That's just my subjective opinion of course.

And yours?

How in the frozen hell do you think a highly atmospheric genre which builds on layered guitar textures and vague, blurred melodies is anything remotely similiar to a subgenre of hardcore punk which is often quite chaotic, raw and straight to the point, essentially a direct opposite of what shoegaze is.

Emo = emocore = emotive/emotional hardcore which is exactly what those RoS-era bands were. Which is a pretty stupid term I agree as post-hardcore would probably be an ok way to describe it. But fact still is, those kind of bands is what emo is. NOT the nowadays so prevailent whiny alt-rock crap. And I posted it because they are not similiar at all, so dunno why does the poster I quoted think that shoegaze is 'heaveier emo'. Shoegaze is not even similiar to what nowadays is being called emo.
