I'm big into indie music as much as any metal or progressive.
Any of you who damn indie and all the great bands that originate out of it, i.e Oasis, just arn't British. This may sound a bit queer, but its time all you 'extreme metal, teen angst, im in so much pain and no one listens to me' cocks need to grow up and vary your genre's. Like Lazer's dance music thing, I'm not a massive fan of it but I can understand that when in a club situation, it'd suit the scenario and I have times when I want to listen to dance/chillout music.

Too much of something is a bad thing, kids, so free your mind and all that jazz and listen to other stuff. Now.

I enjoy Indie every now and then. J-Indie is one of my favorite genres.

I don't love the British indie scene, but I do have a soft spot for Oasis...and The Zutons... ...
I LOVE American indie bands, like Head Automatica, Shabutie, SSTB-era Coheed and Cambria.

American indie, lol.

I like any kind of indie, personally British and Japanese. <3

I'm using Indie as an example. What I'm trying to say is that people who listen to a set genre all the time are gonna grow up to be uncultured, boring bastards and change is good. Also, listening to extreme bands to look 'cool' or 'strong' is just silly.

S'what I mean.

Yeah I know what you mean.
My music taste is varied.

When I look around I see:

• Metalheads who only allow themselves to live in the 80s.
• Screamo scenekids who like the most god awful music. (edit: this is NOT being stereotypical, because their music is actually pretty much the same litterally between bands)
• Deathmetal-extremeists.
• A horde of people wearing HIM clotheing.
• Those scenekids who only know Trivium and Killswitch atm.

edit: and we all know this exists outside the rock genre too!

American indie, lol.

Yeah its alot different, compare Franz Ferdinhand to Fall of Troy.

Death metal and brutal death metal is my favorite genre, but I listen to other genres. The reason it is hard to stop listening to only death metal because it makes a sort of addiction that is hard to break from. \m/

To like them bands it's an acquired taste, you don't just wake up one day and think "I'm gonna stick some brutal truth on and like it! woo!", also I don't think no one listens to extreme bands to look cool or strong :\ Not a big enough fan base for people to do that lol

The furthest I stray from death/thrash/grind is industrial. But that's only like 1/2 bands. Nothing else interests me really.

Ive listened to some yeah but been to a metal gig, no.

What other genres beside Trance and Techno do you listen to?

80s music

Funky House

Commercial dance

VERY limited RnB/Hip Hop songs.

SOME indie music if the mood strikes me (by this i mean The Killers, Snow Patrol, Arctic Monkeys etc)

Hmmm ....

80s music is a huge area... you mean 80s rock or?

Well, a bit of everything from around that era Cat. If i like it i like it.

E.g. i like
The Jam - Going Underground (rock)
Dexys Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen
Heart - Alone (power ballad)
Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights (70s)

Well, you get an honorary devil's horns from me

\m/

i got a big variation of rock taste hehe , listen to many genres and going to listen to even more , but further than rock i won't go , so no trance /hip&hop/pop ever

I love Oasis. Jay stop lying, you used to hate Oasis.

I'm also right into The Clash at the moment.

The whole Renaissance/Classical/Barque period of music does it for me as well. I remember the first time I heard Moonlight Sonata when I was 4 or thereabouts.

Wonderful, packed full of emotions. The most expressive genre, by far.

My tastes in genre;

Rock;

Brit-Indie
90's Brit-Rock
70's punk and progressive rock
60's early poprock to psychedelic rock
80's funk rock, especially early RHCP and FaithNoMore
jazz/rock fusion
Blues
Various Metal 80's-modern day
Various American Indie

Pop;

Pretty much any pop song which is actually good, from 70's-modern day

Dance/Electronic;

The "Pre Millenium" Dance explosion, (the era in which Fatboy Slim for example reigned)

Chillout Dance

Alternative Electronic, Moby, Jean Micheal Jarre etc

Happy Hardcore

Some Drum'N'Bass

Game music

Rap/RNB;

Comedy Rap, Eminem's more comic songs and Goldie Lookin Chain for example

OldSkool 80's - early 90's rap, Sugar Hill Gang - Snoop Dog

And finally, i like chilled Classical, not a big fan on the oldie classical artists

Early RNB, TLC's first album and Eternal for example

Things i dont like especially;

Modern Day gangster rap

Recent Dance, too samey

Emo Rock/Metal

Processed Pop and effortless pop

Processed Rock

Fad music, for example a song which is only popular for what it isnt, like a good video or for getting blatant advertising from McDonalds or something equally stupid

End/Rant
