THEE most overated 'Metal Band' of this generation of Metal groups. They adhear to their record company's wishes, who are now the new brand of metal scaping the way for posers and naive fans. They have changed their sound to so they can be become popular, e.g, they were Nu-metal in the early 2000's when this music was at the height of popularity. Then that fad died, they next became Metalcore around the mid 2000's, because theis was now the new trendy style of Metal. Then that died, so they completely ripped of Post thrash pioneers Trivium and Lamb Of God, aswell as stealing many riffs from Iron Maiden and Slayer. Now trying just to be metal, singing about war and bloodshed, they're fans didn't like it, so they encorperated the Bullet formula, of Intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, breakdown, Solo, guitar harmony, end. Singing about teenage love over 4 chords, and trundling along in pop music timing, with the Vocals heavily auto tuned.
They have done nothing new for metal, they just play to the trends, and try and look bad ass, but having those sweet sweet lyrics to make 13 year old girls cream in the front row. They are not one bit innovative, and always complain about sony not letting them do what they want, well why don't they move to nuclear blast or roadrunner then?, oh yeah, song give 'em a shit load of money.

Many kids mistake BFMV too be "Heavy metal". This is very very very untrue, although they do perform several Cover songs from Metallica and Ozzy they are still part of the Nu-Metal wave.
Nu-metal being the new wave of music that tries to inmate metal with many bands (but not all) screaming style vocals.
Whatever anyone says, They are considers "metal core" and "Screamo"
And anything "screamo" is usually "emo" and before people freak BFMV has done some emo-core songs.
"Scream aim fire" - that sounds emo enough for me.
Bullet for my valentine should not be confused with other genres. Too help with you knowing what really is metal try using Encyclopedia Metalum

Although it is the name for a popular Screamo band, it can also be used colloquially as a definition for that which is sub-par particularly in the realm of heavy metal and, to a lesser extent, emo/screamo/punk/alternative music. But really, who digs screamo music in the first place? Let this be a lesson to you.
1. Tim: How bad was that gig we checked out last night?
Blake: Pretty shit.
Tim: Yeah, totally "Bullet for my valentine".
Blake: No doubt.
