Symphonic metal in general is the definition of sappy.

When I think sappy, I think Celine Dion esque balladry, of which there's a fair bit in the symphonic metal genre. Thank god for skip buttons.

Generally speaking, and though I'd love to be contrary and argue, I think I'd have to agree.

Thank God for high-powered rifles with telescopic sights and tickets to the next gig.

No court can prove I was.

When something is too over the top, over the top but not doing it well, or feels disengenious (like marketing made it instead of the artist, for example). Also Hi, I exist again.

^ That's interesting. We don't really use the word "sappy" in the UK- maybe that's why "cheesy" does double service for us.

We do have the word "soppy", but I've only heard that applied to people; someone who is overly sentimental or prone to crying. Usually applied to girls or women, 'cuz you know, that's what they do.

^ Yes, I'm sure most of us regard this as a very bad sign. We much prefer the sincere, empassioned underdog who pays his dues and is finally recognized for his talent. Step forward every MB member who is also a musician: :clap:

Two bands famous for being marketing creations are The Monkees and The Spice Girls. Any others?
