I'm a huuuge metal fan (in fact, I'm going to see Vital Remains tonight
), but I'm also a huuuge punk fan. I like good music - there's good music in both genres, so I'll listen to both genres. Here are some of my absolutely favourite bands ever;
Strike Anywhere
Dissection
A Wilhelm Scream
Immortal
Protest the Hero
Bridge to Solace
Lagwagon
Vital Remains
Agoraphobic Nosebleed
Rise Against
Converge
NOFX
Dillinger Escape Plan
...and the list could go on, mixing punk and metal like never before.
I like hard, fast guitar-driven music, I guess. I've never understood people who like one of the genres, but hates the other.
