[QUOTE="Lamp:1194237"]Metal is actually a newer thing for me, over the past couple years for the most part, despite the fact that I've been posting here much longer. I was mostly a punk/grind guys for years after listening to a small scattering of a bunch of different genres in high school. Eventually I was able to hone in on one thing I really liked a whole lot, but the recent transition to metal in a lot of ways stems from boredom with my own guitar playing. There really isn't a whole lot you can do with punk and I felt I had gotten as good as I was going to get. There is also the fact that parting ways with my guitar scares the ever-loving shit out of me because it's one of the only things I have in my life where I feel truly confident in my ability. So I knew I had to expand my horizons and see what else I could do with this instrument and I've heard some pretty damn kick ass bands out of it. Another aspect that led to this evolution is simply the fact that festivals of a certain genre, no matter where in the country they are have the same bands on them and you end up seeing the same shit over and over. It's almost like a brand name being pushed on you... this is just as true of metal as it is punk, but metal has clearly evolved into more styles and it's not as if I've shunned the music I once loved before, it just doesn't play as big a role in my life as it used to. When the desire to hear more sounds becomes lost, the social aspect is the only thing you have left, and anyone who bases their life on socialization is a hollow shell of a human being indeed. As far as screaming goes, I greatly prefer screaming/instrumental music because it removes the human element from the sound in a way... obviously there are people still playing the instruments and belting out the gutturals and what not, but when you can't understand what they're saying, it's real easy to forget. I take more solace in solitude than being around someone I can't relate to, and such is why I don't listen to genres like rap or pop because it's just people revealing themselves (often how fucking boring they are) and the music is an afterthought. I can't relate to anyone who places speaking their mind as something more important than creating sounds or art (which is exactly the problem with the modern hardcore scene).[/QUOTE]
