The journey begins with curiosity
And evolves into soul-felt questions
On the stones that we walk
And choose to make our path
Sometimes never knowing
Other times knowing too much


Death ~ Perennial Quest

This is pretty typical of death metal lyrics (from the band that the genre is named after, no less) picked more or less at random, incidentally, not a cherry-picked example. But sure, stick with your flanderized surface impression.

I used to listen to some of it, but I always thought it would be much better if the vocals weren't so jarring

My gripe with it is that it seems like bands don't try to have a unique sound. Instrumentally, there's too much emphasis on double bass and over the top speed/solos. Not enough focus on riffs. Vocally, I hate anything with "harsh vocals" and growls.

I don't pay much attention the specifics of which genre is which, so take that with a grain of salt. I only really stick to classic metal and some thrash.

All music is just noise.

Also, i'm bad at telling what category each metal really is. Here's one

I like all kinds of metal other than black metal (don't h8 me), industrial metal (bands like Mushroomhead suck) and most modern metalcore.

Death metal is my favorite genre of metal though.

It's part of metal that was never meant to become, some of the newer generation really don't understand the older metal too well.

I'm basically saying that some metal genres take things to a stupid level from song stories, and to how it is played musically within that genre, but not that the original metal scene didn't have those same issues, but at least it was more tolerable compared to nowadays.

Also some of these metal genres seem to give a sorry excuse to sound really shitty to cover up the fact they have no real talent.

I'm more into sub-death genres (melodic death metal, progressive death metal, technical death metal) then regular death metal. Older Opeth, Ne Obliviscaris, Focus-era Cynic, and Black Crown Initiate are among my favorite bands of all time. As far as regular death metal I really only listen to Death and sometimes Atheist.

My impression is that the entire focus of the genre has become aggression and morbidity. Like every band is competing to "out brutal" each other and sound as heavy as possible.

Metal started off as a thematic counter to the hippie culture, but still had a heavy basis in blues, riffs, and rhythm. Lyrics covered a larger variety of subjects too.

its not my favorite. I have some friends that are into it. Theres a few songs i can listen to.

My only downside to it is that Death Metal fans are more the types to be like "rap isnt music" or "pop music sucks"

Like if Death metal is the end all of music

Yes, that is what I was getting at as well. Back in the day there was some cases of morbidity like Alice Cooper, but they didn't try to take it to extreme levels (though it was extreme back then, but very tame now), but some bands nowadays just want to keep pushing the envelope, and that is when I say I can't call it metal, but more of a shit show.

Black Metal is the GOAT metal genre though.

Low-mid tier metal

Screamo is mostly punk btw, and punk metal is the stereotypical, and other metals scream too for some reason. I don't care for any genre of metal that screams more than 30% of the song.

Not my favorite subgenre. I like the old school death metal: Death, Entombed, Morbid Angel, early Deicide, stuff like that. Most modern death metal doesn't really do anything for me. Some technical death metal like Decrepit Birth is fun, but I'm mostly interested in black metal and progressive metal these days.

I'll give credit to bands in those genres that can still make good lyrics, but if can they just ditch with violating their guitars with no rhyme or reason & do away with indescribable grunting noises then I can actually enjoy what the fuck they're saying half the time.

I really don't see how people enjoy that, but they do.
