Why are people so stereotypical about metal music?

A lot of people think metal music is about committing suicide and worshiping the devil and stuff like that. Most of those people never listened to metal in their lives or love rap, rnb, pop, etc. They think that metal takes no talent. While rap, rnb, pop these days are all about the same thing. Love, sex, drugs, etc.

    In my opinion Metal takes more talent than any other music out there these guys look like there heads are about to explode on stage. No other music has as much energy in there shows and you don't need talent to talk fast and rhyme.

    Dude, that's exactly what I say! My parents make me to go Jehovah's Witness meetings, and they tell me the same bull crap about Metal music. They need to at least look at a few heavy Metal songs themselves. Some talk about world governments, war, and love. Some even about God and His greatness! Yes, some are pretty crazy, though, so I always look through the lyrics if I don't know the artist.

  • Ignorance, and they don't take the time to listen to it. Also there are horrible metal bands like Death, and Cannibal Corpse that give the rest a bad name. Also screaming in their minds equates to killing, suicide, and the devil and all other evil things they can think of.

    That grew to become into an stunning argument till you suggested "(unlike taking at the back of a beat approximately drugs and gangs and rnb music with women individuals dressed 0.5 bare making a music approximately love, intercourse and adult males)" and "And if i say to them "rap and rnb is faux music" and "rap is in basic terms taking at the back of a beat approximately taking photographs somebody or ****ing 20 females in mattress" then they commence performing so protecting and commence taking the **** out of rock or steel." we've all have been given stereotypical perspectives on specific genres of music as you have in basic terms confirmed (slightly hypocritical by ways). the main basic ones are: a million) people who hear to classical music are narrow-minded and have a stick shoved up their backside 2) 12-year olds hear to Disney music (my 17-year old buddy loves them) 3) people who hear to emo music decrease themselves 4) rap music enthusiasts = chavs. Even the clicking have began concerning emo music. lots of those all human beings is narrow-minded/ ignorant/ unwilling to return out of their convenience zones. regrettably, the superb element to do is the two introduce them to rock/ steel music against stereotypes or walk away.

    Because people are small minded and stupid. Idiots can't help themselves when they see a chance to single someone out because of their preferences in life. It's that same small minded attitude that gets gays murdered, races hated, and wars started.

    I agree. It's not all satanic, and in all honestly I don't even think the devil exists. It's a free world, and everyone should not be told what to listen to. Whatever appeals to you, is what you should listen to!
