<p>^^^^Wow, maybe I am close-minded. I’ve never heard of any of those bands before.(Idk about the jerk part, though, since I’m not the one going around telling everyone that they’re wrong to say that heavy metal is ■■■■■■■■.)</p>
<p>Eh, I don’t see the point in generalizing and criticizing genres of music. Your boyfriend likes heavy metal and not dubstep, and I don’t see why that should be a problem. The only issue I see is that you feel uncomfortable listening to it, so probably your best course of action is just to tell him, as kindly and respectfully as you can, that heavy metal gives you a headache and you would prefer it if he would listen to it with headphones when you’re together instead of in the background.</p>
<p>You’re pretty much a kettle calling the pot black</p>
<p>Man I love this thread. [6]</p>
<p>Personally, I’m very annoyed by things like this as well. My girlfriend eats such unhealthy food… she has an unreasonable obsession with whipped cream, and she puts it on everything! Sometimes, when we share Starbucks drinks, I have to have some of it! It’s so bad for you, and it doesn’t even taste good! It tastes like air… but whatevs. Here’s the worst part: last year, when I took her to KFC for our anniversary, she refused to have any popcorn chicken or macaroni and cheese! She knows those are my favorite… and yet she acted all upset that I took her to KFC… </p>
<p>Do you think we should break up? </p>
<p>I don’t want to have to deal with her unhealthiness, and this tiny piece of minutiae means we probably aren’t compatible, right?</p>
<p>^I thought you were being serious for the first three sentences of that post.</p>
<p>hahahahahaha</p>
<p>Korn dubstep actually wasn’t too bad.
Motionless in white and Asking alexandria kind of incorporate that techno feel to their hardcore style. Maybe a compromise?</p>
<p>I’m with the girl I don’t like popcorn chicken either. And if you don’t like the whipped cream your loss xD.</p>
<p>I curl up into a ball and cry in the corner every time I hear any type of heavy metal (It’s scary :(). Luckily that does not happen very often.</p>
<p>Ugh, @enemyofthesun please NEVER compare the beauty of Bon Iver to crap like Lady Gaga. Bon Iver is basically emotion in its purest form, while Lady Gaga is some over dressed woman whining for attention. Not even in the same universe. </p>
<p>OP I feel for you though. Heavy metal succkksss but if he’s really that hot I have a feeling you will get over it :)</p>
<p>The dude in Bon Iver has an amazing voice, but their music is boring as.</p>
<p>@maple: I agree calling BoC techno is loosely correct, but they definitely make techno-influenced ambient music. I should have said Autechre instead, but I dislike them. I, however, don’t see any sort of associations they could have with Godspeed and Mogwai. Maybe only in terms of atmosphere.</p>
<p>I am hating on this thread, Just because EnemyOfTheSun said Bon Iver’s music is boring.</p>
<p>Did you loose you ears in the accident that destroyed your brain ?</p>
<p>I know, who cares!</p>
<p>Hipsters gonna hips.</p>
<p>^^^ meh, they all use found noise in their music, although Boards of Canada is definitely more electronic than the other two. I don’t really listen to techno, so my impression that it’s mostly based on beats, whereas BoC isn’t, is probably inaccurate.</p>
<p>I have to agree that I find most Indie Folk pretty boring</p>
<p>It’s not. 10char.</p>
<p>Regarding Indie Folk, I guess it’s each to their own. I find them to sound all the same, although I love The Microphones myself.</p>
<p>If you don’t like Bon Iver, listen to Skinny Love. It’s Justin Vernon’s most “mainstream” song. Ugghhh I’m not a hipster (does that make me one?) Lololol ahh well if appreciating good music makes me a hipster so be it.</p>
<p>Well, I never said Bon Iver wasn’t good music. Objectively, I hate them but I don’t speak for all.</p>
<p>Um, I’m a chick. I love heavy metal. The drums sound beautiful. I think it calms me. </p>
<p>so…learn to deal.</p>
