Teenage music tastes.

Back in the 50's when your grandparent's were listening to soul, crooners and rock 'n roll, do you seriously think they accepted glam metal and heavy metal? It's just conflicting tastes from one generation to another, and it pisses me off so much whenever people brand the so-called decline in music all down to teenagers.

My friend's so stupid. He listens to modern crap and thinks my music is just 30 minutes of guitar solos. He says it's harder to play 3 simple chords on guitar like his music than fast solos. He says solos are just random notes and anybody at school could play them. That's stupid because you have to know a scale, be fast, be precise. Someone wouldn't know the right technique to play the solo. If they tried to play a buckethead solo, they wouldn't know how to nub so would be playing it wrong. He said his music is real talent that only 2 people can play. My guitar class had over 40 people. Most of the people in the class played simple chords and only 2 could play fast solos. I should know if solos take talent, I've been playing reeltar for 5 years and can play chords and solos. The solos were way harder to learn. He's been playing guitar for like a year. I know theory and understand how the solos are musical. "Modern rock" takes no skill. All of the singers sound the same. Buckethead plays like 14 notes a second and his music is musical and takes skill. Modern music sucks. I'm more talented than all of the guitarists and I'm half their age.

When I listen to the radio, all the "hard rock" and "nu-rock" they play SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME.

Ugh. I mainly listen to progressive stuff (Dream Theater, Symphony X, BTBAM, Porcupine Tree, Coheed & Cambria, Rush, etc.) But I also listen to some techno/trance/house, ska, and some more traditional rock and metal.

Most people go WTF when they see my music on my mp3 player, but some people have similar tastes. The person I know with probably the most diverse, best music taste is pretty cool. And gay.

He likes a lot of really hardcore stuff, though. The heaviest band I listen to is probably Opeth.

I, being a teenager (specifically 14) actually like metal, hard rock etc. and I think that the only reason people call it "just noise" is because in today's modern age, people pay most attention to lyrics. Let's look at Raining Blood as an example, I don't think the lyrics make any sense, but I do like the rhythm, and the beat it has. Most people say they don't like this song because they can't make out the lyrics. Just a theory.

Not one of my friend listen to Rap!

One of my friend is a fan of Ozzy Osbourne and my other friend is a hardcore fan of Kiss.

What I hate is EVERYONE that sits besides me at school all listen to dragonforce... I'm not saying that they sucks but when you hear the music like a thousand time, it's getting quit annoying.

So, I was pretty much expecting the "teenagers listen to shitty music and metal sucks and rap sucks" and "I listen to awesome music, like (insert obscure metal bands here)" jargon that's in every music-related topic on Scorehero.

*sigh*

I really need to stop coming into these topics. They're all the same and they're all equally obnoxious.

I love the musical taste of teens. By that I mean it's funny. From the age of about 11 to 15, most people pretty much pick one genere and listen to that strictly. I'll admit, the only band I listened to through Jr. High was Linkin Park. The only one. And I'd curse anthing that wasn't heavy (LP is, ironicly, pretty soft sometimes. I was a stupid kid.

). I mean, I still love the band, but my tastes are quite varried nowendays. I love the screaming of Demon Hunter, as well as the soft, almost folky style of Dispatch. I don't realy listen to rap, but "Changes" by 2pac is one of my favorite songs.

tl;dr, untill you're around 16, your taste in music sucks and is too strict. Yay, steriotyping!

The whole bash on rap stuff..NEW rap is garbage, it's (For the most part not ALL but like 99% of it) about gangs, drugs, and having sex with whores. Now if you go back to late 80's early 90's hip-hop it's generally decent. Catchy shit.

Although myself personally like mostly Technical Death Metal, Deathcore, Melodic death metal, Inde, Alternative, and Progressive metal.
