I think Nu Metal sounds kinda ugly.

lol. it's not even new anymore. it's been around for over 15 years for god's sake. so why people still call it "nu" is beyond me. that's like saying the stone age was a recent occurrence.

Yep, but with that argument we should get rid of NWOBHM also which is even older.,,,

touche
although i have to agree
maybe just call it BHM


plus nu can be so easily pronounced noob

Maybe OSBHM? Old School British Heavy Metal?....But what would that make Nu Metal? Its not exactly Old Metal? I believe we have a conundrum.

YES!!!!! thats an awesome idea, because as far as i know, NWOBHM is a new name for a genre
well the nu metal, this is sort of one sided opinion, but i think we either scrap the name,(hopefully bands too!),
or we rename it gay, because there is no way in hell we are going to call it owld

@Dr. Rock - i never understood why it was called nu-metal in the first place considering it takes most of it's influences from hard rock, except for the harsh vocals, of course.

@Fuath - i say we start a revolution and start calling it gay-metal. after all, it isn't that new, and it's extremely hated.

makes sense to me.

yeah, i was talking about nu-metal. my bad.

actually, i was going to edit my last post because i thought about it some more, but i'll just include it in this one...

it never should've been dubbed as nu-metal. like i said before, it isn't technically metal. yeah, it has a few similarities, but most of it's influences are derived from hard rock. it should be called pseudo-metal; it's kind of metal, but not really.

neither would i. i was just saying that's a better term for it IMO.

I have a better idea for calling Nu-Metal. Let's drop the "Metal" part and add umlaut over the "u".
So it would be Nü.

"Hey, whatcha listening?"
"Oh some Nuu... No no it's called Nuo... AARGH I can't pronounce it."

Once i saw term "faggotcore". In that case it was used to insult somebody but i wouldn't wonder that some freak with poor imagination once will describe it's "unique" music as faggotcore.

Have never liked his music and his guitar playing but Rising Force had a few good songs.

Me to man its pop made up artist who think he are great but he play only guitar whit mo soul like Joe Satrianni and all girls are so crazy for him

Genre names I dislike? Viking metal, war metal, battle metal and what have you.. guerilla tactics jungle metal? I'm not a fan of "gothic metal" either, as I'm of the opinion few of the bands labelled gothic have anything to do with the original goth rock scene. Industrial metal is also a stupid name. What's so industrial about it? I also can't stand a good deal of excessive combinations. I can live with symphonic black metal or melodic death metal, but half the bands dubbed such don't really fit the description.

I could go on, but I guess you get the picture.

I think it's one of the better names for a genre. I really think it describes the sound of that kind of Metal: cold synthezisers, the hard and raw beat and rhythm and the metallic sound of the drums. I get the feeling of something "industrial" when I hear bands like Rammstein or Deathstars.

Hmm.. Well, if it's supposed to refer to the industrialization (mainly) in the 1800s, it doesn't really sound good to me. It sounds rather futuristic, or at least modern, not like Ford's factories at all. Of course, it's somewhat subjective. The name has a nice ring to it, but it wouldn't tell me anything about the genre if I didn't know what it was.

..Then again, who can claim that they can imagine what Death Metal or Power Metal sounds like without having ever heard them? >_> Not a very good argument, mine. Oh well.

i can see where you're coming from, though. it's contradictory to the feel of the music.

something like mechanical, electronic , or shit even hybrid metal, would make more sense.

Beer metal hahahahahah......

Seriously, everytime I hear NSBM I think of S&M.

Also, folk metal makes me laugh. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy quite a few folk metal bands, but all I think of when I hear "folk metal" is Joni Mitchell shredding like mad while Bob Dylan is wailing about something metal.

NSBM: You maybe think of S&M... but you can't seriously think that it's a stupid name for a genre? It's Black Metal with National Socialist beliefs.
Folk Metal: Again, you may laugh... but you can't say it's a stupid name since it fits and explains the genre perfectly.

I think NSBM is a stupid name for a genre.

This is because most industrial metal doesn't take the really "industrial sounding" parts from industrial music. Listen to a band like Einstürzende Neubauten and you'll better see how "industrial" music got its name:

its thesame as vampiric metal, whalecore, alcohol metal and that kind of crap.
or lets call manowar war metal
they dont describe the genre, but the lyrics only

Christian Metal, White Metal, Viking Metal, Vampiric Metal, Dark Metal, Suicidal Metal, Epic Metal, all of them suck cause only describe the lyrics and don't have anything to do with the actual sound of the bands.

well Epic Metal, Dark Metal and even to a lesser extent Suicidal Metal actually describe the music more than it does the lyrics IMO

Generally that's true, but we can for example sing depressive stuff but with brutal death tempo, or happy stuff with doom tempo. After thinking a bit, maybe dark and epic metal are not so stupid you know...
