What's up with all the false genre representations?

I know some people just aren't good at that, but some people are way off. Opinions?What's up with all the false genre representations?
I know, I know. Look at this question, some of the ignorance there disgusts me.

I answered a Q the other day that asked for metal recommendations. They edited and said that they didn't like female voices but that they were sure that there were talented bands out there like Paramore and Evanescence. WTF?





I think people are too close minded to want to listen to something they're not used to.





Lol no kidding. Like the person below me though, sometimes the genre thing confuses me. I love genres, but when I asked for doom metal recommendations, the person said ';Well what kind do you want? Funeral? Epic? Drone? Stoner?'; Like, huh? How am I supposed to know the difference between them if I haven't listened to much?





Ah well.What's up with all the false genre representations?
some of these teenie boppers hear a guitar in a song and right away think they're cool because they're listening to rock music. i dont understand how you can ask a question about paramore being a goth band? WTF?! it doesnt even make sense. mainstream sucks. and i agree, how much talent does it really take to be mainstream and entertain 13 year olds. but when i say that i get criticized.





it also sucks that people come on here and say that classic rock is not good and its boring and that we should all listen to whats going on now. if it wasnt for the classics, there would be no music today.
You mean like KISS and Alice Cooper are metal?


These are the ones I see most often...





Bullet for My Valentine, MCR are metal and Motley Crue is classic rock..








KISS, Alice Cooper- Classic Rock


Bullet- Post-Hardcore


MCR- Pop Punk, Alternative


Motley Crue- Hard Rock





Haha I'm just saying, some ignorant people call MCR metal, when they are just about the farthest thing I can think of.
Josh Y, you need to learn more about your Genres





KISS, Alice Cooper - They're GLAM ROCK, not Classic Rock


Bullet For My Valentine - They're METALCORE, not Post-Hardcore


MCR- Pop Punk


Motley Crue - Newer are Hard Rock, Pre. SOLA is Heavy Metal. Throughout their whole career, they're Glam Metal.
One time, I found a book called the Encyclopedia of Metal. So many things were wrong with it:





Nirvana was in it.


The Insane Clown Possie was in it.


My Chemical Romance was in it.


Dream Theater WASN'T in it.





I mean, WTF dude?
Yeah, it gets annoying. I'm starting to ignore it more and more.





Oh yeah, the Yahoo thing, I voted for it and I lol'd to this...


';Yahoo! Answers Suggestion Board We are listening - we want to hear from you!';
It really pisses me off. I usually bash out the people who mistake a genre, but only if it is totally obvious that the band is not that genre.
i think there are too many genres ,i know what i like but dont necessarily know what genre a band a like falls under all the time.
Yes like Dragonforce they're not powermetal they're Nintendocore!
Opeth is sooooo emo!!!


lol j/k





People are stupid, that's the only answer.
