I stated it before. It is really difficult for me to give much of any other kind of a music a fair shot. Every time I have. I've been let down by the lack of depth in the music. Like I also stated before. I understand that a lot of people sometimes just want music that has no point to it to listen to, all fine. But I can't bring myself to torment myself with that kind of music.

I stated this before, too. I need depth in music, substance, a point, I want music where the people involved took the time, and the care to create something truly profound and special. **** music like Bastille, Lorde (can't believe that wanker won an award for best rock video, wtf...?)

It isn't that I don't want to give other kinds or types of music a chance. My brain won't allow me to feel something new, out. I go to YouTube and type in the likes of say, maybe some alt/pop outfit that is all the rage currently, and every time I do I am wanting to take a hammer to my speakers because what is coming out of them sounds so damn cheesy and pathetic, that I am completely baffled why anyone would defend its definition as music!

You got me ranting Trollheart.
I will check it out if I get the time. I would be interested, though, considering what you say above, if you have listened to or rate progressive metal of any sort? Kamelot, Shadow Gallery, Epica, Threshold etc.

Well I love stock 80s hardcore and modern pop/alternative punk; and the former is dismissed as bland and unoriginal and the later is treated with outright contempt on this site.

hmmm, I wonder why I've never posted in a punk section. (sarcasm)

I'm also a member of Ultimate Metal, and their community is decently active, without being flooded. Maybe take a cue from some of their threads... Rate the metal above you, now playing, controversial metal opinions, metal covers of non metal, etc... I've actually been a member there longer than here so pardon me for cheating. But I'd love to bridge the gap, because it can be super slow sometimes.

Outliers. All the nonexistent internet girls gotta have someone to turn to.

Anthropologist Sam Dunn traced the origins of power metal back to the late 1970s, when the groundwork for power metal lyrical style was laid down by Ronnie James Dio. The fantasy-oriented lyrics he wrote for Rainbow, concentrated around medieval, renaissance, folk and science fiction themes, directly influenced modern power metal bands.[3] It is mentioned that songs "Stargazer" and "Kill the King", from the 1976 album Rising and 1978's Long Live Rock 'n' Roll respectively, might be among the earliest examples of power metal. In his 2011 documentary series Metal Evolution,[4] Dunn further explained how Rob Halford of Judas Priest created a blueprint for power metal vocal delivery. His almost constant high-pitched singing became one of the main characteristics of power metal. The twin-guitar sound promoted by duo of K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton highly influenced this sub-genre.
