Worst/most hated band ever?

Eh?

Sorry but thats bollocks - fair enough Green Day got on some anti-Bush agenda, but Korn and Killswitch just play there music and aren't trying to be anything more than that. Maybe the people that listen to them think they are trying to promote some sort of message, maybe the music you listen to promotes some sort of message and you presume that all music does/should.

Man, come on, Korn? They're shocking! When he does that 'beatbox' thing it makes me cringe, laugh and weep all at once. It's tragic.

Killswitch Engage are just lame all over.

Green Day were passable as a comedy 'punk' group but now they're all pushing 80 they seem to think they are Noam Chomsky.

I'm happy to listen to music without an agenda or a message, of course I am, a lot of my favourites are hardly 'message' bands.

I was simply stating I hate US Nu metal, sports metal, thrash, screamo, extremo, nonsense made by men older than my dad.

I've got pretty eclectic tastes and I like some stuff that I'd file under 'guilty pleasures' but really, Korn, Killswitch, whoever have managed what, 1 song between them that has registered with me, ever. Freak on a leash, and that was a bit shit in all honesty. Of that lot the only one to actually seem intelligent and have the odd decent tune would be Marilyn Manson but no one ever got over the whole 'man in make up' thing so he was marginalised in critical circles.

I don't want to stop these bands playing their music I just never want to hear it.

Manson has a few good tracks. Korn are of a certain taste, but they were MY band when I was 14, so I cannot say a bad word about them. KSE are fucking brilliant. I don't think I've heard them described as lame in my life - maybe you've been listening to too much *new genre alert* "Sports metal". Alive or just breathing is one of the best albums in metal in my opinion and the track 'End of Heartache' is probably the metal track of this decade.

For me it seems you view metal in the same way I view the Foo Fighters - you haven't really got a lot of time for the music, but you 'hate' them because you dislike the people who like them more than anything.

I think ultimately it comes down to the two of us having quite different tastes in general which is cool, I am a total music snob, I admit that, as I'm sure you are too but I don't actually have any real beef with this genre of music or the people who listen to it.

I think we can agree on the Foo Fighters though, they're the definition of the word 'lame'.

At heart I'm an indie boy who has dipped his toes in numerous other genres whilst I'd wager you're a metal head who also likes to dip his toes.

To be honest, I've not heard enough of KSE to write them off totally but they're just not my thing and never will be. Korn, I hate largely, yes you were right, due to the kids I remember who loved them, they do nothing for me and unlike KSE I have heard a lot of Korn over the years. Though having said that I really do dislike their music as much as the kids I remember so I'm not being too pedantic. Nor am I saying that all Korn fans or ex Korn fans are twats, they aren't, some were nice lads.

They are twats! I love the music but hate the people that are into it! People into metal tend to be people who hang around shit pubs (if they leave Guitar Hero alone) smoking roll ups and talk about how funny turnips are and how they hate anything and everything mainstream.

Do it. And watch out for their interest in turnips, it's un real.
 
Snow Patrol really grate on me. There are other bands I don't like but that Chasing Cars song makes me sick in a way no other song does. I've been known to take my pint outside when it starts playing in the pub. Horrible song.
