In order, these genres are listed by number of bands on myspace.
With over 100 million people on there, this reflects alot of American, and some European tastes, etc.
Note how low on the list Death Metal is.
This is unacceptable.
There is MORE FUCKING EMO AND TECHNO than Death metal!!!!!!!
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
Children of all ages, pick up a guitar or a drumstick, and start fucking shredding, for the love of Chuck.
Stop this madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, at least Death Metal is above christian, that has to count for something!

Yes, until you think about how lame Christian is, then tally the difference in numbers.
Thats scary.

It just means either death metal is not acceptable by the dumb masses or that it just takes more skill to make music as you get further down the list, why prog is lowest probably.

and who the fuck gives a damn about how many certain genre bands are on myspace I bet at least 50000 of those death metal bands suck ass completly. I bet half of them are nu metal bands that think they are death cause in one song they sing about death.

Notice how doom, folk, symphonic, and black metal are not on the lists
