Genres

What I've learned about these respective genres of music during my approximate year here on Sputnik.
1Death Metal

I've learned that the vocals have to be good, or at least a majority of Sputnik metallers must say the vocals are good. Even if they're really shit (like Demilich) they're good so I'll listen. I've learned to go to "Rasputin Recs Death Metal," download all the albums, listen to 4 songs off of each album, rate them at or above a 4, put them on a list, and then rasp, charles, charles' alts, Zoo, iranscam, wizard, bodom, metalstyles, and jingle will ALL like me and I will smile. Also, CHAINSAW GUITARS.
2Funeral Doom

I've learned that I'm kvlt (but not black metal kvlt) if I listen to slow-paced, usually boring as shit funeral doom at rate it a 4.5 but NEVER a 5 because 5's are classic so the only 5 can be a classic duh.
3Pop-punk

I've learned NEVER to mention All Time Low or shit stuff like them, they suck! Paramore's cool though because......yeah, pop. punk. Respectable bands in this genre include Say Anything, although only ...Is a Real Boy is subjectively good, Fireworks, and stuff that is mostly punk but it's kinda catchy too so it's pop-punk. Blink is okay too because of Adam Knott. HOWEVER, if I'm ever talking with the elite, I won't mention pop-punk because it sucks.
4Metalcore

Oh, metalcore. I've learned that if I write a review of a metalcore album I MUST talk about the genre's recent rise in popularity and how it all sound EXACTLY THE SAME. I've learned that breakdowns are br00tal, Jacob Bannon's vox sound like a rabid dog barking but are still good? and there are Botch members in Minus the Bear. OMG. I've also learned that even though Constellations has a 3.8 on Sputnik, it's still shit. Also, if there's a list entitled "My Favorite Metalcore" or "Essential Metalcore" I've learned to not read it, ridicule it, and then rec Converge. Unless Converge is on it then I'll rec Knut or Skycamefalling or Deadguy or obscurity.
5Black Metal

I've learned that production that sounds like it was recorded in an answering machine is a GOOD thing, and that monotony usually is as well. I've learned that synths in black metal is total shit (symphonic black metal = NO), and that if you can't take the heat get out of the oven. Again, a list entitled "Important User recs Black Metal" is a great reference point for being kvlt (the black metal way this time). Other things that are good: Satan, forests, winter, Norway, blackness, leather, paganism, tremolo.
6Post-Hardcore

I've learned that post-hardcore is quite similar to metalcore in that nowadays it is all the SAME. I've also learned that post-hardcore isn't really a genre and that if I see a list with "post-hardcore" in the title, I will click on it and instigate a genre dispute. Are Refused post-hardcore? No, they're hardcore. No, they're not you stupid, they are hardcore! Oh my gosh not they are not! And the argument will escalate until intothepit gets involved and/or a new genre is established. Also, I've learned that high-pitched vocals are ear-piercingly annoying, and any band that has high-pitched vocals should probably just add some UMPH to their high-pitchness and become a black metal band and be respected for God's sake.
