My love for metal and rock music.

I love metal and rock music. I don't get why is it that whenever I tell people I like music that are categorized as either rock or metal, they always give me that sour face. I mean come on, it's just a little bit loud and a little bit harsh on the instrumental part of the music. I bet if you take the background music out and swap in some country music and sing the lyrics aloud with a normal voice, it would sound just like any country music.

And why is it whenever I say I like rock and metal people think that the only thing that I listen to is loud thrashing and voices of people screaming while headbanging? The only reason why I would listen to rock and metal is because I listen to all types of music. Pop, rap, indie, folk, EDM, you name it. I love ALL types of music, with the exception of country unless if it's really good. And then there is reggae and 90's. I hate those the most. Imagine Bob Marley - when he's high on marijuana - mumbling and playing a sitar. Hate them.

Anyway, just because most parts of society has a negative opinion towards something, it doesn't mean that the people who like what most of the community dislikes only love that one single thing. In fact, my favorite band is actually the all time popular Coldplay, and judging the style and the flow of the songs they compose, I'm pretty sure they are more into folk indie rather than metal. Just because I listen to rock all the time, they aren't my favorite type of music. Some days I prefer rap, some days I prefer dubstep. It's just that the type of music I listen to is based on how I'm feeling currently. Some times it also varies on what I currently am doing. For example, I like listening to EDM whenever I study because it has a quick and fast tempo and has really nice bass drops. That way, I won't feel tired and droopy whenever I study. It depends on the listener's personality.

My favorite band for rock is probably Panic! At The Disco while my favorite metal song is either Slipknot or Metallica. And by the way, I hate it whenever people think that metal and rock is similar. In a way metal can be rock, by rock is never metal. Metal is a TYPE of rock because there are many types of rock. Metal is a more louder and has a more harsher and rougher meaning in terms of lyrics when compared to rock. And they tend to have darker lyrics, which is why people tend to mix both of them together and think that the 2 genres only talk about demonic and sacred rituals which normal beings such as them shouldn't try to mingle with.

So anyway just because I like listening to metal and rock music, people shouldn't judge me. Is it a bad thing that I listen to rock? Is it illegal to listen to metal? Why not judge those who do bad instead. Society can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
