SomeBadJOKE's definitions
1. Metal with skilled musicians who know their instruments inside-out
2. Metal with real meaning - their songs aren't just random rhyming words put together, but actually tell a nice story or send a message to the listeners
3. Metal with crazy solos (not always required, but it helps display your level of talent - and face it, it's awesome every time)
4. Metal that isn't made just to appeal to the brainless masses, but made because it's what the musicians want to do, and they will display their artistic music to the truly devoted fans.
5. Metal that stays true to its style, no matter what the current trend is (some deviation may be expected, but never go completely overboard or you may not be making metal at all anymore).

Get the real metal mug.A new subgenre of metal which includes bands such as Korn, Slipknot, Disturbed, and various others from the late 80's to today.
Is often bashed and heavily criticized by "true metal fans" for being "mainstream", or for having "no talent"
These guys are just introducing a new metal sound, guys. Get over it. Many people like it, and that's why it became mainstream. I might not like some of the bands, but I don't call them "fake" because of that. They're just as much metal as Metallica or Slayer are, and just because they sound different doesn't mean they suck. It sure would be boring if all bands sounded the same, don't you think?
I like all kinds of metal - power, thrash, progressive, and even nu. Here are some examples: I like Slipknot but I don't like Slayer. I like Children of Bodom but I don't like Korn.
It's still that metal I know and love, so I listen to it. If I don't like a band, I just don't listen to it. I don't come here and call them fake. If I wanted to complain, I'd at least give good reasons for my complaint.

Get the nu metal mug.Sure, ya got the blast beats and fast riffs, and *attempted* growling and screaming, but no, just no - it's not cool. You sound just like every other metalcore band, and it's getting boring.
The only good metalcore bands are Unearth and Shadows Fall. Everyone else just tries too hard.

Get the metalcore mug.If you were to ask an average teenage girl who listens to pop punk WHY she likes certain pop punk bands, the answer you'll most likely get is that she thinks the guys in the band are "hot."
Seriously. When was the last time you heard a girl say she liked Fall Out Boy without also saying that "Pete Wentz is liek omfg SOO HAWT!!1!"? It's the same with bands like Green Day, My Chemical Romance, or any others that are popular right now.
If the bands' fans would learn to appreciate them for their musical talent rather than their members' looks, then maybe there wouldn't be so many idiots making the band look like a bunch of terrible no-talent sellouts (or, in fact, actually MAKING them terrible no-talent sellouts).

Get the pop punk mug.There are definitions having to do with sex for the most unusual words or phrases, including "ice cream sandwich", "magician", "jack the ripper", and "airhead".

Get the sex mug.1. A thrash metal band from the 1980's. Are widely known as one of the metal genre's biggest influences. Some of their best albums are Master of Puppets and their self-titled "Black Album", for those who would like a listen. However, these two albums are really their only good ones.
2. Along with Slayer, one of the most popular bands for "true metal fans" to mention when attempting to tell others not to listen to "fake nu metal". They're not even THAT great, guys. Only two of their albums are really worth mentioning - the ones mentioned above, and those are really old. Besides, they're sellouts themselves (see St. Anger)

Get the Metallica mug.A stereotypical little bitch who judges emo people based on what they like rather than who they are.
These people will go and say that anyone who listens to Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, or Hawthorne Heights, or has long sidebangs is a stupid loser with no friends who cries all the time over petty things like a bird flying away from them, is gay, and of course.. cuts themselves. They ALWAYS use the cutting as an excuse to hate emos.
First of all, there are very few emos who actually cut themselves. If they do, then half of the time they're just doing it for attention, and therefore, they're not even emo. They're posers. It's THEM who you should be hating on, not the actual people. Second of all.. there are also VERY few gay emos. Seriously.. they all like the opposite sex. If you'd stop being so narrow-minded you'd be able to see for yourself. And THIRD of all.. most emos are in fact happy people most of the time. It doesn't take something as stupid as what you say could happen to make an emo person depressed.
I know I'm about to start sounding stereotypical myself, but.. the majority of emo haters are either wiggers who follow rap stereotypes much better than emo guys follow their own emo stereotypes, or simply guys who think that their "true metal" is so much better than emo music because it's not mainstream and it's from the 1970's.
