I fell in love with metal when I was a kid because it created a vent for all my pent up anger and frustration. Listening to it fills me with a feeling that nothing else can, it's nearly indescribable. Try to imagine the feeling you get from a big drop on a roller coaster without the empty stomach effect, combined with what feels like a hot blanket being draped over your back and steam shooting out of the front of you. That's the best I can do to describe it, I still get that feeling when I listen to something really heavy. Metal is also accepting, regardless of your talent or appearance. Of course there are the elitist starfishs, as every genre has, but generally metalheads just want to see other people making and enjoying extreme music the same way they do no matter who they are or how well they play. That feeling of acceptance also pulled me in as a kid, since my parents did not like who I was at all and forced me to repress it.

I like all different forms of music, except screamo/metal. I don't know why, though.

The music you listen to around age 14 is the music you'll like for the rest of your life.








Normally. :D

I can live with that. My tastes have fluctuated throughout my life but they seem to be settling down.

Feels just as good depending on the band.

Culture can be a big influence on musical tastes.

Hm... that's a good question. What determines a persons taste in music...

I think it could range from what you grew up with, to what your older brother/sister listens to. Sorta of like a "tag-along little sibling" thing. Or even the people you surround your self with. Most of us are in High school, some in middle school, so I think its safe to say that about 80% of your school's populace is all about the more mainstream stuff which usually means its almost unique to have a serious taste in other music.

My best friend and I both play guitar making it very common to have a unique taste in music (if you play any kind "Rock" instrument you tend to listen to bands for obvious reasons). He's a serious hard rock/class rock/guitar rift kinda guy. Rush, Metallica, Steve Vai, those types. Although I'm more about the modern bands. rock/pop-punk/alternative types bands like Blink-182, AvA, Yellowcard, and The Killers. So we have some common interest. Both of us share dislike in all the Modern crap. Some people have a strange array of taste though. Like I'm close friends with this girl who is a total Taylor Swift type "Country Girl" but loves all the main stream stuff.  Yet she hates all the stuff I listen to because its "loud with guitars and stupid" as she puts it.

I listened to classic rock as a child.


Love it

Very nicely said. i applaud you. i can't say i feel differently about it.

I think I like certain Metalcore and Nu metal (and no, not just the song "Crawling' by Linkin Park) a lot because I felt different and isolated in middle/high school for a while, and felt I was a hipster in a sense.
