Fizzzzle Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I grew up listening to that kind of music, but then I just kind of stopped around the age of 20. Maybe it was because adulting had to happen, I couldn't go to shows anymore, I didn't have time to play music anymore, none of my friends listened to it... I wasn't part of "the scene" anymore, so it just faded away. Then the pandemic happened. Maybe I needed something to listen to that had energy because I needed an outlet, maybe I needed something to rekindle my love for playing music, but I got super into it again. I even got into power metal, which I always thought was corny and stupid. I even got into bands like Halestorm, which you wouldn't have caught me dead listening to when I was 19. Now I'm probably more into heavy shit than I ever was Granted, no one starts listening to punk or metal because they're well adjusted people. Also no one starts pouring their soul out on an internet forum because they're well adjusted people. So I would expect an audience such as this to overrepresent the heavy music audience.

Joestradamus Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Rock and metal was all I listened to when I was an angry teen. I stopped for a while but got back into it in recent years, but I definitely can't listen to death metal long term anymore... Maybe a few songs every now and then.

TheLeon Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Not really. When I’m feeling particularly angsty, I’ll play some late-90’s, early-00’s pop punk, but just like the stuff that was on the radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Vic20 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 No, to my ears those kindsof music just don't sound very good. No objection to/for those who do enjoy it mind you, it just doesn't do it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I looked back in that thread and it doesn't look like you said you did which explains why you said you didn't like that Týr song.

Bacon Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I like power metal. I don't know if I am generally a heavy metal guy. I do like SOAD. Pretty sure all of this is some kind of metal Spoiler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Not really. I have some 80's heavy metal equipped in my car in case I'm in a mood of some sort that requires me to just let go and scream a long. Overall, I generally listen to the radio as boring as that sounds. In fact, I was never really into any music growing up. Don't get me wrong, music in videogames are something I'm interested in but I never actively go out and buy/download any type of music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris- Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I'm a big fan of punk, post-punk, and dance punk (some of which tends to be more metal-heavy, like DFA1979). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slug Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I do but more for the vibe than being a fan of specific bands. Like, when I'm running, working out, or doing manual labor I like having it on for the energy of it. But I can't tell you anything about songs or bands or anything.

Bjomesphat Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I don't listen to a lot of straight Metal, Hardcore, or Punk, but I listen to a lot of the sub-genres that came out of those scenes. Emo, pop punk, post punk, new wave, post hardcore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Yes, all of the time. Like literally every day. In fact my biggest problem with music is I don't do enough to discover new metal to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 When I’m running it’s either hair metal, thrash, or whatever happens when I type in ‘1990s 2000s pop punk’ on Spotify. So yeah, probably about 3 times a week I dip my toe in the angst pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaseknox Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I like rock and metal, mostly with female vocals. I also like beauty and the beast vocals in metal/symphonic metal which is a mix of female singing, and deep male growling. I really like industrial music too, and some punk as well. But I don’t only listen to heavy music as I also like chill electro, darkwave, EBM and synthpop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I just listened to a few songs by them and I really like the mix of electronic and metal music and the growling male vocals, but the clean male vocals unfortunately ruin their sound for me since I’m not a fan of male pop vocals. If the clean vocals were female I would find them a lot more appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ended up liking this band because they were the intro to an anime and it grew on me over several episodes. They do have one song without clean vocals called Crossover that's pretty decent.
