That's probably because they're mostly from Metalcore bands and most people on the internet either don't listen to or have an irrational hatred for Metalcore.

[apsham]

Yes. Irrational.

[Mooregasm]

Yes. Irrational.

I'd say it is irrational, considering that most folk that hate it have never actually listened to more than one or two Metalcore bands.

[Sousa]

I hate it when I bite an apple and it has a metal core.

[Your Mom]

I don't know what a metalcore band even is. Tell me one I might know

[Mooregasm]

I don't know what a metalcore band even is. Tell me one I might know

Killswitch Engage?

[Sousa]

They did CM Punk's first WWE theme.

So. Yay all that I guess?

[Your Mom]

Oh ok. I know what that is then

[Benjamin]

Yes. Irrational.

I'd say it is irrational, considering that most folk that hate it have never actually listened to more than one or two Metalcore bands.

So how many would you say I have to listen to before I'm not deemed irrational that I hate "metalcore"?

[Mooregasm]

Yes. Irrational.

I'd say it is irrational, considering that most folk that hate it have never actually listened to more than one or two Metalcore bands.

So how many would you say I have to listen to before I'm not deemed irrational that I hate "metalcore"?

Why is Metalcore in quotation marks? Are you trying to imply it isn't a real thing?

Maybe irrational hate is the wrong term.

What I find irrational is people who listen to a couple bands they don't like and decide that the entire genre is the drizzling shits. If a person has actually listened to a fair bit of this or any genre for that matter, and still dislike it, fair enough. But to say that all of a genre is shit because of a couple bands you don't like is idiotic and, yes, irrational.
