So I ask people what kind of music they like, and when nobody says rock, I ask them, “Do you like rock?” I always get answers like, “Some. I don’t like Screamo” and I’m like okay I didn’t ask if you like screamo but whatever. Nobody understands the different types of “rock”.
I should be asking if they like metal, but people probably think that’s the crazy stuff that sounds like Cookie Monster, but no, children, that is death metal. Metal is just bands like Avenged Sevenfold (my favorite band) Slipknot, Hatebreed, etc. I know you probably don’t know most of these bands, but that’s what metal is. Rock on the other hand is stuff like Flyleaf, My Darkest Days, Skillet, etc. There’s also Alternative rock like Linkin Park , Seether, Three Days Grace, and those are probably more of the bands that are played on the radio.
There’s stuff that people are all like oh yeah I like rock! I like Fall Out Boy, Vampire Weekend, and A Day To Remember! I’m like NO!!! Those are lame excuses for rock in my opinion. That’s what they play on The Edge now that some new chick took over and made everything (I have to put this in appropriate terms) criss-crossed. Sorry if you like these bands, I’m just saying that they aren’t rock. They are like punk or indie rock or something weird. Just get your genres right people!
