What sub genre do you hate?

What metal sub genre do you hate, and why?

I personally hate doom metal and black metal.

Doom metal because the vocals totally suck and the songs are boring. Also, most doom metal sounds kind of depressing to me.

Black metal because the riffs are annoying and boring, and the overall sound of the music is too dark for my tastes.

I can honestly say i hate these two with a passion because i have yet to listen to a single song from either sub genre because it sucked so bad. Discuss!

I know a lot of people are gonna say power and prog, but at least that stuff has comedy value.

I'm a passionate hater of all things black metal.

I hate power metal.

But your reasoning is weird, how does black metal not have comedy value, it's like the funniest genre ever.

Black/death/doom.

That pretty much covers it lol.

I hate doom cause it's just so boring and depressing.

I hate black because it's just evil and the instruments sound horrible.

I hate death cause of the vocals that are so appalling.

I have yet to hear a decent nu-metal band. For the most part I hate metalcore, chugga chugga breakdown chugga chugga doesn't quite do it for me.

I don't get the doom metal hate at all. Black Sabbath anyone?

besides black sabbath dude, of course.

But hey, not all metalcore has ****ty breakdowns, i'm not a fan of breakdowns either, but in some songs i like them. I'm surprised you didn't mention metalcore vocals, alot of core haters don't like the choruses and all that, lol.

How about similar bands to Black Sabbath like Pentagram, Witchfinder General and Reverend Bizarre?

I actually don't mind the melodic singing in the chorus if its done well. Its really just the guitar work in metalcore that bugs. The chugga riffs more so than the breakdowns but I find that breakdowns often kill the pace of a song.
