There's no shame in that. I think all of us have at least one or more songs/artists that fall outside our favourite kinds of music. :)Quote:

There was a time I too was into pedantic subgenre's like that.. but then I matured and grew up... (no offense)
Now I listen to everything! spanning all genres.
This man knows what he's talking about listen to him peopleQuote:

So If Distorted Memory releases an album and describes it as a foray into tribal idm, who am I to say oh but it's industrial, live with it?
People who are really into music will understand that.
Why so serious about sub genres though this is not a personal atack against you. I had to google that shit to find out what they where the average person wont know what Metalstep is and wont care.Quote:

But my true Fav band is Linkin Park, met my wife when they came on the scene and asked her on our first date when crawling was playing
The reason I target sub-genres of metal, is because many people enjoy "lighter" melodic metal while they can't stand extreme metal (like death / black / heavy thrash). The sub-genres of metal have very distinct sounds and styles to them and cater for wildly different tastes. Personally, I've grown bored of most styles of extreme metal and prefer mine melodic and progressive these days.Quote:

In the beginning I just listened to whatever. Then I found places that list the various genres and I thought, hey, why listen to something that I find adequate when I can listen to something that sounds amazing.Quote:

I can pinpoint the exact kind of sound that I like in my music. Do I listen to it all the time? No, but it's my favourite.
Surely I can say that my taste in music has matured in that I've tried many things and found my exact match.
It's funny when people say no offense when they say something offensive. It reminds me of this: https://www.facebook.com/pages/No-of...d/212851344612
I think that my definition of maturity in music is different compared to yours, Edelweiss. I believe that mine includes experience from which I learned and made me know myself better.

By Std.5 the same friend had introduced me to Morbid Angel, Slayer and Sepultura. In Std.6 I discovered Black Metal, and the rest is history.
I've expanded my taste in music (in addition to Metal) quite a bit, though: I enjoy whatever sounds good. Hell, I even enjoy EBM, and I've always loved 80's music (there's just something about Pop that grabbed me since I was a youngen).
