Well I like the NBA a lot, and this board is good for that. I just sort of looked at the other forums and saw there was a metal thread.I'm just kinda tripped out by that

it's just where it appears to be the most common.
And I agree there is definitely elegance in simplicity.
I get what you're saying about people who have an obsession with technicality and all that. In my opinion, they just have no taste and it's easy to be able to point to someone playing drums like this and be like "that looks really difficult so it must be great."
Prog fans are also known to be insufferable, so there's that, too.


Crabcore was like 2008/2009, I hope no one listens to that shyt anymore, Deathcore seems to be the most popular thing among people in my age group these days. There's some Metalcore and Deathcore stuff that I like but overall i'm not a fan of the genre at all, Nu Metal is just flat out unlistenable to me aside from like one Slipknot song(Before I Forget)
) and others I care not to try and remember were all part of that wave of bands that just catered hardcore to that angst ridden crowd that really got behind this shyt and made it the driving force it was back in the early to mid 2000's. Outside of the talented Bass player for Mudvayne and the occasional Slipknot track, the Deftones who thankfully never fully fit that mold and went on to make good shyt after that trend died are the only groups I still flock to. I cringe at the shyt I was trying to get into when I started to listen to Rock before the Internet got more involved in bringing new music to me.

Break the Cycle was just
Then they got Toothless real fast with some bland shyt afterwards.
