Metal is more popular than dance/techno/electronica in the US

But the latter category of music is far better I prefer the latter category of music.

Chagen · 2011-07-22 19:04:42

So agreed.

This kicks the utter shit of any metal song ever.

AHR · 2011-07-22 19:05:07

...music subjectivity?

AGAIN?

...couldn't you have chosen a better electronic song, chagen?

That's not a good example of electropwnage.

DYRE · 2011-07-22 19:07:49

^^ I like that song.

Chagen · 2011-07-22 19:08:28

"...couldn't you have chosen a better electronic song, chagen?"

Screw you, Tarantula is one of the best songs ever.

Chagen · 2011-07-22 19:11:07

But hey, you want more?

Here's another song that shows how fucking awesome D'N'B is compared to metal.

God, that fucking drop is so sick!

...what is this about injecting bacteria?

AHR · 2011-07-22 19:18:46

I LIEK KE$HA AND GAGA.

Actually, I like the music of Bad Romance and Tik Tok. Just don't like the lyrics and singing.

vacasama · 2011-07-22 19:23:41

Metal popular in the states now? Since when? The last time I remember any new metal getting airplay was back in the 80's

glennmagusharvey · 2011-07-22 19:29:36

I though it was pop and light lyrical stuff that's most popular, then punk/rock/metal stuff, then dance/techno/electronica.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-07-22 19:31:19

Inb4 Forzare.

MillerCross · 2011-07-22 19:33:33

Metal is way much more popular in the internetz.

Also, Electronica is far more popular than Metal in the mainstream radio thing, Glenn.

I think you're missing disco and country. I actually remember a time when country music didn't have the stigma it has today.

Vorpy · 2011-07-22 19:47:14

TIK TOK ON THE COCK

inkblot · 2011-07-22 19:54:18

"So agreed.

At least half the metal I've listened to was more enjoyable than that.

Next you're gonna tell me that TTGL was worth watching.

Disco is mainly seen as retro, and sometimes mixes in with oldies and/or dance, I think.

Yeah, I left country and rap/R&B/hip-hop out of that comparison.

I'm pretty sure it isn't. Well, maybe if metalcore counts, but even then, I'd still say dance music wins. Clubs are pretty popular I hear.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-07-22 20:40:41

> Metal is way much more popular in the internetz.

Okay, maybe my perception is the result of this.

Malkavian · 2011-07-22 22:33:07

Gaga, Ke$ha, and a number of disney starlets do techno.

This thread is officially bullshit.

Forzare · 2011-07-22 22:34:20

I know, I know, I am pretty popul-

Inb4 Forzare.

fuck

MillerCross · 2011-07-22 22:37:59

You're not Metal anymore.

You don't count.

MadassAlex · 2011-07-22 23:53:19

I'm pretty sure metal is generally of medium popularity outside of Scandinavia. And what metal is popular kinda sucks.

Now, have some Japanese epic power metal:

DarkDecapodian · 2011-07-23 02:25:18

Guys, guys, stop your fighting. We can just combine them if it's so damn important.

~~Oh and metal totes rulez.~~

MadassAlex · 2011-07-23 02:42:12

Combing metal and electronic music has seldom been a good idea.

DarkDecapodian · 2011-07-23 02:59:33

Not a big fan of industrial, I take it?

MadassAlex · 2011-07-23 04:05:37

Not really.

It tends to lack EPIC MIGHTY SOLOS and is nowhere cheesy enough to be trues hards-cores mehtal.

Howdy, Stranger!
