Hiphop and pop have gone stale where they do not incorporate elements of rock music and culture. Rock is evolving only where it incorporates elements of metal. All of the innovation and incredible things happening in music today are in metal. Why do you think that is?

Shits just evolving and growing man, everything's going through some sort of culture shock, pressing into new territories. All genres are going through this.
Ayden Evans
The internet has caused culture to be homogenized. Avant-garde is cliche now.
Luis Jackson
It sure seems this way, but i think metal stagnates. I listened to metal and rock since i was a small kid and have over 700 Albums in my room and had some more on my pc. Added together this makes almost 5 weeks non stop music, day and night that i listendes to, if you hear a song only once and step to the next. Metal does not progress so much anymore. This sentence is based on that experience. How can you base your opinion? I sure would like to hear some progress, dude.

Nothing has evolved since the 2000's and nothing needs to evolve quite frankly. All we need is no one style to be shoved down our throats, metal, hip hop, and pop have all been perfected, as well as country music and electronic dance music.
Fusions suck post 90s and mostly sucked in the 90s too, just make individual diamonds harder and let people have choice.
Jackson Hall
People really listen to metal after their teenage angst and consider it art? Fucking lol

Metal (and Jazz) is all about technical proficiency at playing your instrument. That's what it boils down to. Rock is about creating a certain atmosphere and a somewhat dreamy, danceable rhythm with moody guitar passages that can also be somewhat technical. But metal is about playing the most complicated compositions at the highest speed through the most complex distortion setups. It's all about testing the limits of what can be done with an instrument (and the human voice) while most other music genres don't even include instruments. Of course it's where the innovation is happening. And of course it's not pleasant for lovers of lower music to listen to.

Xavier Taylor
What innovation is happening in metal exactly?
Daniel Jones
Don't bother. It's just a bunch of retards patting themselves on the back for having terrible taste in music.

And please read about the jazz harmonic on wikipedia. It´s just shit they play. The jazz harmonics are out of the tritonus and thus they create just a cacophony. In classical music we stay in the 7 tones scale for a reason.

I really don't want to. It just sounds so boring.
Lucas Mitchell
Playing fast is as much innovation as Usain Bolt is innovative for running very fast. Perhaps they could be innovative in some melodic or rythmic sense, but Metal music hasn't done anything particularly exciting and new since the 90's at the latest. Prog metal slop is just the 21st century version of pompous ELP-type wank rock.
Jack Brooks
But... finding the exact right person, training and nurturing him the exact right way, so that he runs extremely fast, is pretty innovative.
Jaxon Lopez
Especially since one of metal's flagships just came up with one of the most boring, flat and uninteresting albums of the decade by far
Cameron Gray
Metal has flagships?

This is retarded
Anthony Hall
No that's completely wrong, "technical" is an innacurate label same way "melodic" is.
Tech death/thrash musicians don't try to make tech death/thrash consciously, they're not trying to show off, it's just the way death and thrash riffs have evolved over time to sound like, it's genuine expression unless it's some completely retardo band like rings of saturn.
Blake Long
Yes. Totem poles, bands that you usually recommend
Robert Evans
So... he's referring to the new Darkthrone record?
Justin Morgan
Probably Tool
Landon Taylor
It's not cliche. Every genre that exists today existed 20 years ago and avant-garde artists had access to all the genres that we have today.
Ian Green
Slipknot and Rammstein are both more popular and more metal than Tool though, so he might have also meant one of those. Their albums weren't particularly good but anyway, it's never the best artists of a genre that gain mainstream success. Their purpose is to make people interested and serve as guides to the actual scene. A metalhead will probably call very different bands flagships of the genre.
