I heard "Boyfriend" for the first time today while watching the video, and to be honest I thought it was not bad actually. I liked how he moved on to a more manly James Dean-like image and the video was actually pretty cool with all the cars and stuff. I think Bieber generates so much hate because people are actually fed up with his fangirls everywhere on the internet, not because of his music. He can play guitar and sing, which makes him a much better musician (yes I just wrote that) than around half of the pop music scene of today.

Wasn't there an article saying that Bieber likes old school Metallica?
I'd like to think he's not that much of a pussy and just pretends to be like that to make money. Hell, most famous people are just selling an image so why would Bieber be any different? As mentioned earlier, even the haters are giving this guy tons of recognition.

It wouldn't be surprising if he liked Metallica. They're a freaking huge band, millions of people who don't give a crap about metal like them.

according to this interview http://www.gq.com/entertainment/celebrities/201206/justin-bieber-gq-june-2012-interview not just that, he says he especially loves "One" and "Fade to Black", which while being already two of Metallica's biggest hits, I can say kudos that even through the sugary fake world he's surrounded in he managed to appreciate these very dark songs.

it does mention though that he is just as immature as you'd expect an 18-year old to be, drawing dicks on blackboards and shouting "I got swag bro" or something similar.

Before him, even Snoop Dog claimed some of the darkest metallica songs( considering his personal best "Fuel") while wearing Metallica tee on some crappy show.

WE would lose our identity, we would lose what makes US unique, and the sheep would flock to metal and claim it as their own without truly feeling metal like we feel metal.

Let the sheep follow sheep and let us metalhead's remain the Goats. \m/

That was pretty good. I enjoyed that little analogy/metaphor.

I personally hate Justin Bieber, not because I hate him personally, but because I hate pop music. It's not solely the music's fault. I hate humanity for being such a shallow mindless species, and I know I am not free of it just because I listen to metal. I do feel somewhat free of the chains that the rest of humanity bears, but I know I am forever shackled to survival instinct and the compulsive desires of the flesh; the need to be loved, the need for pleasure, the need to destroy, the limited perceptual reality that we are all trapped by...

I hate the kind of music that Justin Bieber makes because it reminds me how unthinking and uncaring the rest of the world is, to love something so shallow, soulless, and empty. It sounds so formulaic, so mass-produced, with more care for quantity and profit than quality and soul. I'm happy for him, that he's made a success out of himself at such a young age. Good on him, but it still reminds me of how dull and unthinking the world has gotten.

Metal is the anger in response to this, metal is the rebellion, the fire, the vengeance, the hate, vindicating soul, the redemption.

I don't know why I'm getting all pseudo-poetic on a thread about Justin Bieber, but whatever.

Dont you see the hypocrisy in that though?

Your bashing "the world" for being uncaring, but hate is most thoughtless and careless emotion one can feel.
So to hate would make you just as "unthinking" and "uncaring" as Justin Beiber fans.

Hate is not always an unthinking uncaring emotion. In fact, sometimes it is a very deep, very real, very intimate emotion. For me, it is the the opposite side of love, as they are part of the same coin. To truly hate someone or something, you have to know them intimately, you experience a deep connection with them, even if the connection is one of destruction.

There's this ancient symbol used all over the world in many cultures: the Ouroboros. For some it's a symbol for death or suicide. For others its a symbol for life and growth. In most cultures, it represents infinity. Life slays itself and gives birth to itself, it feeds on itself and grows because of it. It is the eternal circular universe. In fact, the symbol for infinity is an Ouroboros in the shape of a sideways 8. It is balance of everything.

I don't like everything being happy happy joy joy love because that detracts from me being able to experience darkness. I love the darkness, and hatred is a part of that darkness. There must be some form of destruction in order for life to exist. Like the Ouroboros, creation and destruction happen at the same time. You cannot have one without the other.

Don't believe me? The Sun is the biggest manifestation of destruction in our solar system. It is through the fusion and partial destruction of atomic structures that we receive photons, thermal energy, and other forms of radiation from the Sun, which is absolutely necessary for life to exist on this planet. Everything feeds on that ultimate source of destruction.

My hate may be irrational and in some forms uncaring, but it is also a method for me to experience other aspects of life. To shut everything else out and focus on only a few aspects of life leads to the constant droning, shallow experience that many people cling to. I have learned from many philosophers, Robert Anton Wilson, Friedrich Nietzsche, even Crowley, that hate isn't necessarily bad. If it is used to mindlessly and carelessly, then there is no point. I am not furthering the progress of myself, nor humanity, as I am acting like an animal. If I use it to experience other aspects of life and thus increase my knowledge, if I allow myself to be free and conduct my emotions where I will them, then this is useful and not bad at all.

I find it funny that you have something against hatred, when so much metal uses that specific emotion in its music quite often. Maybe you don't like that kind of music, but the allowing yourself to experience an emotion without shutting it out and bottling it up--the ability to channel that hatred into something that feeds your soul is a good thing to be able to do.

After all, all things feed from death and destruction. There is not a single thing that can be alive were it not for some form of destruction.

Just listen to metal and leave the fucking kid alone.

I'll just say my opinion as it is: This guy makes music, and some people love it. They can love it all they want, and we have to respect that, regardless of our opinion of Bieber. We can listen to our metal and pretend he never exists. Simple enough. That's my attitude towards the mainstream, and that's the reason I know nothing let alone care about it.

This time next year, 15 year olds will have forgotten about Justin Bieber and will say that One Direction is "killing music" and an "enemy of metal", with metal referring to Asking Alexandria and A Day To Remember. Biebs might even manage to enter the realm of "real music" if he continues to go in a more "mature" direction, such as his latest album.

I suppose that's reasonable enough. If other people are allowed to like it, though, then I am surely allowed to hate it. Still, I guess the best policy is to ignore it all, which I've been doing anyway except when little kids or the radio/TV shove pop music down my throat.

I love Justin because he's a great person, he's attractive, not just cause looks but whats inside in his heart, he's a giving person, he's a respectful person, he's a great idol to kids all over the world, he spreads great messages to his fans and to everyone to never give up, he loves his fans.

I know!! WTF ¬¬

I honestly don't mind Justin Bieber. I felt the same way even when I was still listening to mostly pop music. While I do really hate the song "Baby", I do think he has got some good songs. The majority of his music is okay, and I think his more recent stuff is an improvement over his earlier stuff.

I have never understood why people seem to hate him so much, because I think there are definitely worse artists out there. I also don't understand why people call his success the Death of Pop Music, because he's not even THAT successful. Sure, his music video "Baby" was number 1 on YouTube for a while, but I have doubts that it was solely because of his fans.

And while the very devout Beliebers can be very annoying, I honestly find the devout Anti-Beliebers to be much, much more annoying.

It is actually bands like asking alexandria,a day to remember,avengede semenfold and shitknot who is actually the enemies of metal, and they are a threat to real metal because kids think its metal when its actually emo shit who tries to be metal.

I used to think that way, but kind of stopped giving a fuck. Those bands aren't metal in any way and are taking some fans who might otherwise get into metal, but there's still tons of people into metal and its in no risk of dying out. Plus, ADTR is awesome-entry level with a lot of dumb fans, but no fucks given, great music.

Can't we listen to other musical styles aside from metal? I'm sure a lot of peoples enjoy both Justin Bieber and Heavy Metal.


(Not my case).

Metal has no "enemies" and you don't know what emo is (hint, actual emo can be a harsh and violent genre).

Plus yeah, A Day To Remember is pretty awesuhm in some weird ways.
