Your response when people insult your music taste
Original post

Anyway I think this is one of the universal annoyances metalheads have to suffer at least every now and then. And I've noticed that everybody seems to have a different approach to responding. Some people get into music taste bitching battles, some call each other gay, some even claim that metal takes more talent to play than other genres. I'm at the stage where I just ignore it and let them get whatever dumb remarks they want to off their chest.
So what do you guys do when people say this to you?

The only people who insult my music taste are my friends, and I don't really care. Most of them like Nickelback, so I just insult them back for that.

Written by Bloody Rain on 09.05.2012 at 06:44 If they don't know about these facts, they aren't a true Nickelback fan.  They are not meant to be funny..okay? it's a true facts. Accept or just ignore it.

Man... if I had a dollar for everytime someone has said "I think the music is ok, but I just dont understand the vocals, how can you listen to someone shouting like that?" or "Yeah I used to listen to metal, but that was when I was younger and I have mellowed " WTF? Once a fan always a fan if your true to the cause, metal isn't something you just grow out of, it's not about posing or keeping up with the latest trend, it isn't a faze man... it's life!

Written by Bones222 on 09.05.2012 at 10:15 Well evidently it is a phase for some teenagers, much like the whole emo thing. I guess it's just young kids who are frustrated, or are trying to stand out from the crowd or just fit into a scene. Those sort of people feel the need to let everyone know they're different and tend to not be in it for the love of metal.

I usually don't pay any attention to what people say. Oh there is the usual ''satanist'' or '' your music is shit'' but I don't care about opinions of people who listen to Lil' Wayne or techno. People like that just aren't worth the effort.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 09.05.2012 at 18:10 I didn't say that they don't have a valid opinion, I said that I don't care about it. Maybe I expressed myself wrong. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, I only meant that some people are close-minded. If they insult my music why should I care about them? I only used those examples because that's what the people who insult my music usually listen to.

Written by roguestar5 on 09.05.2012 at 20:08 Ah, that makes more sense (and is much less hypocritical/elitist than how I interpreted your first comment). Carry on!

Written by roguestar5 on 09.05.2012 at 20:08 What if it says " don't care about opinions of people who listen to Motorhead, Manowar, AC/DC or Slayer. People like that are just don't worth of what music is?" It's my opinion? ....yes. Like everyone has. It's very easy to say they are close minded but difficult to prove it. If people do insult our music taste, they are ample of pretty good redemption to backfire it. That one bro was just like "spit on some and gets backfired".

Written by Cynic Metalhead on 09.05.2012 at 20:33 By saying they aren't worth the effort I meant that they aren't worth responding to. When I do try to explain to some people, they usually just roll their eyes and go on about how their music is so much better. Those same people didn't listen to a metal song in their entire life. I don't go telling people their music sucks if I never listened to it. I'm sorry if my post created some confusion.

I think the people who say metal sucks simply havent found the right style or appreciation of it. Honestly, it's better to just tell them "Whatever" and let it go. Pointless argument in the end.

When people insult my music taste...I usually begin with a swift kick to the head that usually knocks the person out. I than proceed to lay a bigger beating on their unconscious body. Then I break all their fingers and kneecaps. I then cut an openining in their belly and drink their fluids. And finally I skull fuck them while their body burns. I've only done it twice...the second time was to simply prove a point. Seriously though....no one really bothers me about metal music because no one thinks or knows that I listen to it. And I don't really make it known to people. I don't dress like a metal head so that's part of it.

Written by MetalSpider on 19.05.2012 at 16:29 Most people I encounter aren't going to insult someone wearing combat boots and a "scary" band shirt. They're quite intimidated by the stereotypical metalheads. Even if they stare, all you have to do is stare back and they'll look down and keep walking... I guess it's different if someone's your friend or knows you well enough to insult you, but at that point they probably accept your taste in music and won't insult it unless it's for jokes. My friends who insulted my music taste either grew the fuck up, or they know it's an argument that they won't win and listening to me rant about how much their taste in music sucks for 30+ minutes is the last thing they want to spend their precious time on...

Written by Thrashette on 19.05.2012 at 17:08 I guess it depends on the type of people. I have seen people who look at the stereotypical metalhead (with the clothes and all) and they not only make fun of them but they also make fun of "the screaming shit" that they listen to (followed by faking growling imitations). My friends never really made fun or make of the music I listen to because we generally don't talk about it much.

Written by MetalSpider on 19.05.2012 at 18:48 Ah true, and it depends which metal stereotype the person represents lol And I think strength in numbers also plays an important part. No one's going to insult a group of metalheads (unless they have at least as many people with them) but if it's one or just a few metalheads surrounded by people who listen to other shit, it will happen.

Personally I try to talk only with open minded people. If I know someone is not open minded or that he dislikes metal, I usually won't bring up the subject. If an argument does happen, I might explain why I connect to the music, but I won't try to convince people that they are wrong. Its their loss, not mine.  Frankly I don't remember being insulted this way since highschool  where insulting is practically a hobby .

This is not so typical where I live now, but was very typical where I used to live, back there I used to tell people I couldn't care less, and polite as always I'd tell them to go fuck themselves. I have no problem with people having different music tastes, but when they step over that line and start bothering people...

Honestly, where I live it gets insulted everyday. You cant under stand the vocals, or thats evil or some other crap. You just have to not give a dam and just believe in what you believe because we all know metal is the best. Or I just turned the music up louder.

Well, what I do is if someone insults my music tastes and is male, I just simply fire a crossbow into their ballsack. It tends to loosen things up and gets a friendly rapport going.
