I’m the only person in my class who’s actually heard of System of a Down. How sad.

(as a sidenote, there are 30 people in my class)

I’m part of the red zone. I totally agree! And in my school, the blue zone covers 99.99% of everything.

Not true, I’m a senior and my school is full of the uneducated fans of Disney Channel’s/Nickelodeon’s justaddwater “Stars”. Poor saps don’t know of the beauty of real music. And the crap they’re passing off as ‘Country’ music. I miss it when country was country and not watered-down pop (CoughTaylorswiftstarteditcough). And I miss it when Rock was rock and genres were their own genres, not becoming something they are far from and still claiming to be original.

(Still following me?)

I mostly listen to Daughtry, Maroon 5, Nickelback, Green Day, Linkin Park and The Fray. I’m trying to get new music interests. I don’t really like rap. Please give me some ideas

Well. To be honest…
My little brother listens to all that Disney stuff: Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothes, ya know, those.
I listen to emo-rock, alternative, punk, new wave, ya know, nothing from before 2000, and NOTHING that is to be found on pop-music radio channels.
Oh, did I mention my brother is 15?

You know what’s really dumb?

When your social studies teacher offers extra credit to anyone who can stump him with a question about ANYTHING and your classmates ask him questions about social studies while you are the only person with the decency to ask a question about something he would have no clue about…

My classmates are retards

i wouldnt say all rap is bad that’s just generalizing. i think eminem is really good and there are a few other decent artists out there but there are is a lot of bad rap music.

i am incredibly fond of how the maker of this graph was sure to use quotations when mentioning Disney’s idea of “rock”. this graph is a win on so many levels!

yeah, getting into the Beatles and other such bands is kind of a fashion thing now

which bugs me because I’m a rock solid fan of the Beatles and pretending to like them or any band because you think it’s cool is stupid

So this is what most people listen to?
I am rather young, but my musical tastes veer me towards Classical music, Jazz, Motown, Disco and Funk.
But then again, my family always was old-fashioned.

My school is very diverse. There are the people who have some musical taste (i.e. those who don’t worship the Jonas Brothers, Miley/Hannah, Demi Lovato, etc. and who also don’t like rap and country). I live in Hickville so that means roughly 60% of our school is country-loving. 15% can’t live without bursting into Stick to The Status Quo during lunch which leaves the smarties who like Linkin Park, Green Day, A Day to Remember, Disturbed, Nirvana, Aerosmith and so on. I’m happy to say I’m one of that 25%!! (:

whereas most rock/metal/anyothergenre song is an original favorite that lasts through the generations! This is what I personally listen to along with some local talented bands.

My friends all like different bands. I like Radiohead, my friend Clare likes Green Day, and my friend Samantha likes Coldplay. We all argue on which band is the best.

In my school there are a couple dozen people who are completly obsessed with Disney crap, the rest listens to anything that’s popular for the moment.
I know two “metal poseurs”, one of them quickly switched to house music after a couple of weeks of listening to Maiden, and another one who’s stuck on the SAME Manowar song. (Oh, plus, he doesn’t even pronounce “manowar” correctly…)

As for the graph, Kudos.

agreed. Iron Maiden rules. And yet they never seem to age. I went to Somewhere Back in Time, and they sound the same as they did twenty years ago. maybe they’re immortal?

I don’t like hip hop or Disney. In fact I have to constantly strive to surround myself with original and well… good music, because all my friends listen to that crap.

Thats because old rap had a purpose and was original.
Nowadays its all the same.
It’s easy to defend California Love, but you can’t really defend “Ah skeet skeet motha F*cka’.”
And all rap/hip hip is nowadays is the same beats reused over and over either speed up or slowed down, or just a complete rip off of an older song.
What happened to music having actual meaning?
No one cares about who/what you banged and how you did it.
Or about how your sorry for beating your girlfriend… again…

I personally prefer acoustic music like City and Colour (yes, its spelled like that intentionally) because its usually written with a purpose. And then i like alternative rock or straight up rock like Coheed and Cambria (theres a comic behind just about every song) or Relient K (they’re songs have really powerful meaning, even if you aren’t religious. go look up “Must Have Done Something Right” or “Which to Bury, Us or the Hatchet”). Give me a Rap/Hiphop song written in the past two years that doesn’t involve sex, drugs, alcohol, the police, or making it big and you have won the fight.
Oh, and it has to be something on the radio, not some random song written by some guy living in his basement.
