Country music, Either it’s directly racist and faux-populist or it’s just boring. Like you’ll have a song by some millionaire who’s like “We got problems here, but Folks don’t care/ The big gov folks gonna do what they do, but won’t drop Welfare for ‘you know who’ “ and on the other end it’s like “Born and raised on my grandma’s ranch, gotta bunch of holes in my overall pants”Like all the songs are about being in a rural environment. Nothing else. Screamcore Death Metal is annoying to me. Like if I was actively fighting a war as a viking I could see something worthwhile in it, but nothing I could ever do would be intense and angry enough to listen to this music while doing it. Like am I supposed to casually drive around listening to this? Is it allowed for me to fold towels while listening to it? It seems like music to be played in a fight to the death, not even like a Kumite situation, like the end of the movie Misery where you fight dirty for your own life, that’s not my vibe at all tbh. I’ve had family members and friends who like that stuff and it’s fine, as long as they have headphones. I agree about R&B but ONLY bad R&B that’s basically just describing what sex is. Like it’s very uncomfortable to listen to one of the late 2000s R&B radio stations with parents or uncles and aunts and stuff. My parents and their siblings grew up in the 60s and 70s so when they think of R&B they think of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Al Green and the Five Stairsteps. So when they put on an R&B station it’s like nails on a chalkboard to hear someone describe cunnilingus to my older family members.
I agree about country, but I can’t deny how much I like listening to “the devil went down to Georgia” or Marty Robbins. I also like listening listening “simple man” as a joke. Listening to Charlie describe the ills of society and attributing it to people “throwing their bibles away.” Of course, he goes on to propose solutions diametrically opposed to what Jesus actual said. If you want some decent country, I’ve liked Tony Rice’s Church street Blues.
What artists are “screamcore death metal?” All I can find is punk. I generally like angry music, but I’m wondering what specific stuff you don’t like.
The Death Metal where they just scream and there are barely any lyrics, in my area(idk it may be an international term) we call it “Screamo”
screamo is usually regarded as a different thing than death metal, i think you may just mean deathcore. and to each their own, from a metal listener it’s definitely about the anger but also it’s just pleasant to listen to. the heavy rhythmic elements are really enjoyable and satisfying to listen to. when it comes to the vocals, it’s kinda within the style to sound like that, the vocals are treated as an instrument like the guitars or drums are and usually you aren’t supposed to understand the lyrics anyways.
I can appreciate Metal for sure, the song Painkiller by Judas Priest is one of my favorite songs ever but much like that song, I’m not a fan of the screeching lyrics. I can definitely enjoy instrumental metal though
