02.04.25 | If you replace classic heavy metal with death metal and reduce 2 to just crossover thrash, I can get behind this |
Demon of the Fall
02.04.25 | if you replace 1 with 5, 3 with 2, divide by 2, incorporate 6 and then hit delete and start over, I can get behind this |

02.04.25 | any list that omits prog or death or worse, prog death, has my vote |
Wildcardbitchesss
02.04.25 | prog yes death no |
jrlikestodance
02.04.25 | DM best metal genre |
vult
02.04.25 | no power metal no black metal rip
nu-metal with a (hed)pe inclusion is certainly... something. |

02.04.25 | I've just learned I don't like metal, I guess |
swallowtales
02.04.25 | Hey I agree with death doom at least |
Motiv3
02.04.25 | Needs Death, Sludge and Prog Metal |
SomeCallMeTim
02.04.25 | Prog metal can be nuked from orbit for the better
Death and sludge tho 100% |

Fuck prog all my homies hate prog |
Jurtz
02.04.25 | Death metal and everything that it encompasses (so including all subgenres) has to be the very best genre. |

02.04.25 | im proud, death metal isnt listed |

02.04.25 | this but sub 4 for sludge |
SuzyC
02.05.25 | There are bands of each metal genre I really like, and there are bands of each metal genre I don't like at all. What kind of music do I like? I like GOOD MUSIC, regardless of the genre. |
Hawks
02.05.25 | Straight up prog metal is the worst genre of music as a whole. |
chemicalmarriage
02.05.25 | I kind of agree but petrucci and portnoy in their prime were a pretty good combo |
Wildcardbitchesss
02.05.25 | tfw you’ve been in a prog band for 40 years but your best album is an avenged sevenfold record |

I agree that (almost) every genre has something to offer (NSBM can be deleted though), but I still have favorites |

the one genre that I get secondhand cringe from if an adult human listens to it |

02.05.25 | power metal is embarrassing
and straight up death metal is boring as hell |

02.05.25 | Every time I put on a power metal album I think it’s so lame. But ill check that tomoz |

I don't agree but what a rip lol |
SomeCallMeTim
02.05.25 | Also if you cringe at bands like Snapcase and Deadguy your taste is just objectively bad |

something tells me these people have written off an entire genre they have barely touched the surface of |
Demon of the Fall
02.05.25 | are we gonna pretend like most of these other genres can't be majorly 'cringe' depending on the band / album. Personally I get a lot more of that from black, power, djent and a very healthy % of prog, but then I wouldn't make such claims about those sub-genres (okay maybe I would about djent, lol) |
jrlikestodance
02.05.25 | Common Demon W. Totally agree |
BaselineOOO
02.05.25 | I agree with Nu Metal being #1, Death Metal is a strong second tho. |
DaveyMonsoon
02.05.25 | Black metal can be just as cheesy as power metal and I'll die on this hill. |
BaselineOOO
02.05.25 | Davey wow like please shut up if ur gonna be like this |
gabba
02.05.25 | I'm surprised how many of you love nu metal here, I thought that's a despised genre. What did I miss? |
jrlikestodance
02.05.25 | Slipknot's self-titled/Iowa and Deftones' Around the Fur have aged nicely imo. Nu metal has always been overhated despite some cringe popular faces of the genre. |
Demon of the Fall
02.05.25 | nu metal might’ve done that thing where a once derided cultural underdog has risen like a phoenix from the ashes long after it had apparently turned to dust
like the opposite of a backlash
seriously it’s more likely nostalgia because it was a gateway drug for a lot of folk around my age |
Hawks
02.05.25 | "Nu metal has always been overhated despite some cringe popular faces of the genre."
This. Def nowhere near my fav subgenre of metal but I can 100% get down with some nu metal every now and then. |
jrlikestodance
02.05.25 | The revival is def in part to nostalgia but I also think nu metal/rap metal pushed the metal genre further whether elitists want to admit it or not |
Hawks
02.05.25 | I can agree with that for sure bro. |
Eakflanderyof
02.05.25 | I like some nu metal even though it isn't really a genre. Most bands called nu metal don't sound that much like each other |
kkarron
02.05.25 | "something tells me these people have written off an entire genre they have barely touched the surface of"
sorry, but I'm done with the obnoxious youtube vid that you say "just wait 15 more seconds bro, I promise the good part is coming bro"
Re: nu metal, a lot of it is still bad but the trendsetters were musically interesting and the dumbed down ones just genuine fun. And most importantly, the carcass was quickly picked clean by later bands that made genuinely good stuff. Basically like the disco explosion of the 70s. |
jrlikestodance
02.05.25 | 90% of good metalcore came out before 2010 |
Wildcardbitchesss
02.05.25 | “The revival is def in part to nostalgia but I also think nu metal/rap metal pushed the metal genre further whether elitists want to admit it or not”
I’ll die on this hill, bands like Linkin Park got a generation of metalheads into the genre. Don’t really listen to that kinda stuff anymore but credit where credit is due. |
Demon of the Fall
02.05.25 | “sorry, but I'm done with the obnoxious youtube vid that you say "just wait 15 more seconds bro, I promise the good part is coming bro"”
I mean if this is your source / main ref point, then I rest my case!

DaveyMonsoon
02.05.25 | Nu metal as a whole is pretty dated and is probably the one metal genre that aged like milk the most (aside from groove metal), but there's some admittedly good stuff here and there if you're willing to dig into it. Most aren't though, that's the thing. |
jrlikestodance
02.05.25 | Slipknot got me into metal so I totally agree Wildcard! |
Jurtz
02.05.25 | "and straight up death metal is boring as hell"
That's subjective, but also objectively wrong.
"I’ll die on this hill, bands like Linkin Park got a generation of metalheads into the genre."
It got me into metal, together with Slipknot, SOAD and Children of Bodom. |
Motiv3
02.05.25 | Nu Metal has a few bands that are great but most of it is trash I'm sorry.
I've also never understood industrial metal.
The hate on prog metal is disappointing but not surprising. |
SomeCallMeTim
02.05.25 | Nu Metal brings the fun tho
(when I was young, I thought nu metal was just a trendy way of saying "new metal") |
jrlikestodance
02.05.25 | Prog metal = no hoes |
ArsMoriendi
02.05.25 | Honestly like 3/5 of these are correct
Just trade thrash metal for alt. metal and doom metal for like stoner metal
Also I don’t like metal, so me agreeing with this prob means you’re a bad metal head |
Jurtz
02.05.25 | The only "bad" metal heads are those that disapprove of other people's taste and feel the need to tell them too. |
Wildcardbitchesss
02.05.25 | “ Nu Metal has a few bands that are great but most of it is trash I'm sorry.”
Literally how I feel about prog metal lol. The Ocean is a shining bright spot, and even they lean closer to post and sludge metal alot of the time. Queensryche too if you really wanna count them. Only other prog I like is death prog… shit like later Death, Gorguts, Horrendous etc |
DaveyMonsoon
02.05.25 | Industrial metal is just dumb fun. Not really much to think about there. |
Jurtz
02.05.25 | And Nevermore |
jrlikestodance
02.05.25 | Nevermore are def the standard |
Motiv3
02.05.25 | To be fair pretty much all sub genres of metal have something to offer.....
Well except Djent. |
jrlikestodance
02.05.25 | Before djent became the meme it is today, there were some good bands incorporating Meshuggah influence. Ion Dissonance, A Life Once Lost, Danza, early Veil of Maya come to mind |
SomeCallMeTim
02.05.25 | Nevermore and peak-era Evergrey are the only straight doses of prog metal I can stomach. Dream Theater's Awake, too, but one album against a catalogue of 15 LPs and more.. |
DaveyMonsoon
02.05.25 | Very disappointed no one has mentioned Fates Warning for prog yet. |
Egarran
02.05.25 | Occult metal > |
Wildcardbitchesss
02.05.25 | Fates Warning is fine too |
Jurtz
02.05.25 | Neoclassical metal can be nice, Symphony X is a good example |
