I've kind of come around to thinking its okay but Bohemian Rhapsody is nowhere remotely close to one of my favorite Queen songs. Find it way too aimless and meandering.

I'd rather listen to Lulu than anything else Metallica's put out since the '80s.
I hate AC/DC.

I'm sure U2 are a fantastic band, one of of the best ever blah blah blah, but I will not give them the time of day because Bono is a massive c***

I'd rather listen to Lulu than anything else Metallica's put out since the '80s. At least it's fascinating in its badness. Load/Reload/St. Anger are all obvious garbage. Everything after that is... Fine. None of it's bad and if you're a hardcore Metallica fan you'll be happy with more Metallica but for me a lot of it just feels like a functional product. And the albums are all too goddamn long. Here's a couple more from me: - Angela Gossow is easily Arch Enemy's best vocalist but they never made an album as good as Burning Bridges. - I have no idea how All That Remains ever got as big as they did. Their first 2 albums are really good but its been a steady stream of mediocre ever since. - The Sex Pistols always sucked ass, and not in a charming amateurish way. - I think it's great that Mikael/Opeth are making the music they want to make and they shouldn't have to make death metal oriented stuff if they don't want to. I just wish the results weren't so boring. - it's ridiculous that people make jokes about how unstable Napalm Death's lineup is when the shortest tenured member of the band has been in it for over 30 years.

Any time a fandom has a cutesy nickname like Swifties, ___ Army, Sellenators, Beyhive, etc., you're going to see some real idiocy.

On that note, the Beyhive's reaction to "Lemonade", and somehow coming to the conclusion Jay-Z banged the 30 Minute Meals gal, is one of the most vicariously embarrassing things I've ever seen a fandom do, and I am not sure if it's been topped.

This is probably more of an old man yelling at clouds, but whenever I try to listen to top 40 or a new music list, everything feels really bland and low energy. It all just runs together with nothing to catch my attention.
I enjoy several fairly disparate genres but yeah, it's just kind of there.

I guess one of my other hot takes is... I've just never cared for music videos, at all. There are maybe a couple that I've seen where I was like, "This is kinda cool" but I'd just rather listen to the song and come up with my own picture in my head.

Judicious use of clean vocals as a contrast to the harsh makes death metal songs sound way heavier. See: Whitechapel and Anaal Nathrakh.

Their first 2 albums are really good but its been a steady stream of mediocre ever since. I think Six being featured in Guitar Hero was a way bigger factor than it seemed at the time. Also Two Weeks was a really catchy song.

-St. Anger is f***ing hilarious and totally an enjoyable listen, other than how repetitive it is. But even that made me bust out laughing at times
-Limp Bizkit kinda slaps
-I find Korn unbelievably cringy and can't listen to them because of it
-Classic rock is super boring to me. I appreciate what a lot of these artists have contributed to music but I cannot for the life of me listen to any Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc., without being bored out of my mind
-Probably not a hot take but arguing over whether a song is metalcore or deathcore or death metal or psychedelic new wave stoner metal with elements of shoegazey neojazz influenced electronic doom country is so f***ing odd to me
-A lot of Eminem's new stuff is really cringy but I genuinely look forward to all of his releases even if I know they won't live up to his best stuff
-being able to make music with a computer doesn't mean you lack musical talent, it's identical to learning any other instrument
-Mathcore is god-tier

There are maybe a couple that I've seen where I was like, "This is kinda cool" but I'd just rather listen to the song and come up with my own picture in my head. When looking up music on Youtube I actively avoid them. Just not a fan and never really seen the purpose.

I like music videos, but I do think that, post-MTV relevance, most music videos are really phoned in. There are some exceptions, like I imagine music videos are still more utilized overseas given I see actual production go into some k-pop music videos, but most US music videos are either done dirt cheap or are a vehicle for cameos in place of doing anything especially interesting. That's not to say that wasn't still often the case in the '80s-'00s, but you still got some good ones sprinkled into the mid-tier acts, too, and now, it's almost exclusively big stars who can afford production for their videos.

Most of my exposure to new pop music comes from watching Saturday Night Live. A lot of the time I feel like the musical guest is about to shift into a higher gear...and then the song just ends. I don't get it.
