Your response when people insult your music taste

Anyway I think this is one of the universal annoyances metalheads have to suffer at least every now and then. And I've noticed that everybody seems to have a different approach to responding. Some people get into music taste bitching battles, some call each other gay, some even claim that metal takes more talent to play than other genres. I'm at the stage where I just ignore it and let them get whatever dumb remarks they want to off their chest.
So what do you guys do when people say this to you?

They think that Slipknot is the most hardcore band in the whole metal scen, then System Of A Down and Rmmstein, that are too popular here. Disturbed is kinda unknown, compared to these three bands mentioned above. I started my metal journey with Disturbed, new KoRn stuff and even some Slipknot, that I hate now. I still like and listen to Korn and Disturbed mainly for nostalgic terms. I cant believe that a person can be converted into a metalhead. Like you said, these bands are a way for then to become a metalhead in the future, like what happened to me But the thing that get in my nerves is the prejudice against all ... unless slipknot. Also, you don't know "funk carioca", eh? Let me introduce you! Music (lyrics below). The lyrics are more or less like this, they repeat at least three times, I guess (never listed to this whole shit!). Serioulsy. Tell me: Is there a worst song and/or lyrics in the WHOLE UNIVERSE??

Seriously, I know everyone is entitled to their own tastes in art and opinions etc.. But I really could not take anybody who listens to that shit seriously. You have it tough bud. Hang tough and keep flying the metal flag in Brasil!

Account deleted Written by Zombie94 on 10.02.2012 at 20:44 I told you. You must be the first guy outside Brazil that know this crap. This is one of the biggest hits in brazil, and that's why I started wars with everybody, and that's why I respect Justin Bieber. And thanks, I will be more metal as possible, and my sons and all the sons of my sons wil be too! (Note: the lyrics are even more stupid. There's no english words that can fully translate this).

Personally usually I just tell them that arguing about musical tastes is like driving without a car, it leads nowhere... and that I probably hate his/her music just as much as he/she hates mine... and then to get the fuck out of my face before I get angry.

If people insult your music taste, just ignore. They're not paying you to listen to the music.

Very rarely have people insulted me for my music taste, at least not since like high school. In the "grown-up" world, most people could give two shits about the type of music you listen too. At least it seems that way to me.

30.03.2012 - 15:32 Written by Branzig on 30.03.2012 at 15:29 True, it's only in high school that you get shit for a certain taste in music, be it metal, rap, techno, pop etc etc. In primary school you don't see that either. It's probably got to do with raging hormones and people trying to ascert themselves in high school.

30.03.2012 - 15:36 Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 30.03.2012 at 15:32 Yeah, I think it has to do with that "need" to be popular and to feel wanted by the masses. But even still, I wore band shirts and band patches in High School, and a lot of kids were still cool with me. I suppose a lot of it has to do with your own personality and how you take things in life.

A lot of people don't like progressive metal...the only reason why people insult it that I know of is because it goes over their heads... THIS IS NOT YOU GUYS OF COURSE....this is people who listen to top 40 bullshit...you know...fucking Katy Perry, Justin Beiber 'Insert One Letter Here'-'Insert Four Letters here'-'Insert Four Letters Here' Ft. Some Dumb Bitch... The thing is people...and you all know it...heavy metal follows more than just the standard verse-chorus or JUST FUCKING CHORUS structure that people listen to... Don't hate...just laugh and point!

I'm like you, I generally just ignore it and let them rant as much as they want. Somebody enjoying music - whatever type it is - is somebody enjoying life and having a good time, so it should be applauded, not denigrated.

Just don't tell them!! Seriously though, I would say that music taste is such a personal thing that no one could possibly insult anyone else's taste.

Generaly, those who comment to me about what i listen to are of lower intelligence and listen to crap themselves (country music, 80's pop, current pop, etc). Why do these hypocrites insist on harassing me when I don't attack them? I hate people...

I actually really dig Wu Tang Clan, RZA and Ghostface are the shit But as for the occasional asshole I tend to enjoy telling them to go fuck themselves (I'm a decent sized guy with long hair and tattoos, it tends to help xD). However if it's someone who says it's scary or just noise I suggest a few bands or genres that they might like to try. To me it seems to much of the time be a combination of genuine curiosity and ignorance and they cover it up by being douche bags, and it always helps to remember that women seem to be more attracted to scary, tattooed metal heads than some little shit who digs country or pop
