treeduck Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 If you had to be pigeonholed into being described, for the most part, as a fan of your favourite sub-genre of music, what would it be? I think I did this before but I included too many options. This time we'll keep it simple and concise, relatively speaking. So ae you mostly a hard rock fan? A prog rock fan? A pop fan? etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 In my day I would have been a heavy metal guy. Now, I understand that heavy metal means Cookie Monster singing about the joys of killing your mother while the musicians in the band have a race to see who can get through the song fastest.. So I guess it's now just hard rock I like. LOL at Jackie saying he's a hard rock guy. Anyone who worships Presto and HYF the way he does is obviously a show tunes fan, but I don't see that option listed. Hmm? What? Oh, didn't even see that. ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not the genre as a whole these days. Periodically I mention that I think of, say, Back in Black or Pyromania as metal, and I'm told they're not. So I'm thinking maybe I don't know what the genre means anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Eh, I don't think I can say. My favorite band is Queen and they hit all of these categories at some point of another pretty equally. I'm a fan of rock ion general. That's my gig. If it rocks, I'm into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I picked hard rock. Which is true, it is my favorite; but what I grew up with in the 70's as hard rock was really blues based rock anyway, so maybe both? (treeduck has confused me again! :lol: :lol: ). I guess I am thinking of groups like Cream, Mountain, Led Zeppelin, and ZZ Top; go figure. But I know what I like when I hear it! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) The only genres I'm interested in are good music vs. bad music. And it's all subjective. Ultimate answer. Punk and hip hop aren't there yet both genres have had some greatness. Most of both genres in the past decade are crap now, though. Cardi B and Fallout Boy have nothing on Public Enemy and The Clash.

Punk and hip hop aren't there yet both genres have had some greatness. Along with Jam, New Wave, Ska Revival, Post Modern... RR nailed it with good music. What I like I really enjoy, and the rest I don't have much time for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm a big fan of Fall Out Boy, but to me they're just not punk. Sure the guitars have a punk sort of style in their excessive power chords and the drums are pretty heavy and speedy, but the underlying music is as purely pop as MJ. Cardi B on the other hand, a big meh from me. Give me Kendrick every day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosher Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Of these, probably metal. Generally speaking probably punk. Realistically I am a big fan of most genre from rap to bluegrass to reggae to death metal to electronic. But if I must be pigeonholed- punk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy85 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Been listening to a lot of Motorhead at work lately, so I guess I still qualify as metal. Hard rock is a definite yes, some prog and some blues rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
