I don't know any metalheads who like Slipknot, probably because most genuine metal fans don't really class Nu-metal as proper metal.

Country fans are great, i'm probably biased because some of my best mates are country fans, but they seem a lot less up-themselves and are up for a great time.

Yes. I hate when morons say that rap music is talentless.

Most of the mainstream stuff is

Mainstream rap is no worse than mainstream rock.

That's true- modern mainstream "rock" is fairly talentless too

good point, i was once told by a fellow musician of mine that its not about how well you play but how well you support the song. If keeping it simple is the best way to make the song sound as good as it could possibly be then so be it, keep it simple!!!
as for the music genre that bothers me the most, i think im going to have to add a new one to the list of options. That would be the H.I.M. genre. I mean, who could ask for a falser group of people? I'm not even sure if the H.I.M. fans themselves like the music of H.I.M. all i see when i look at H.I.M. fans is a group of black wearers with pink shoes who run around dripping eye-liner down their face and marveling at the image of ville valo, or however you spell his name. It's really pathetic that these people dont think for themselves anymore and just let the craze think for them. I actually met a girl one time with a heartagram tattooed on the back of her neck!!! now that's pathetic.

i wouldnt even call slipknot metal

I'm gonna go ahead and say the new wave of kids who listen to "classic rock" and don't see any difference between Deff Leppard and Led Zeppelin, or Journey and Yes. Just because it came out of the 70's or 80's doesn't make it cool, people.

No, neither would I. Someone before me did, and that was the point I was making.
