Anti-Pop or Anti-metal?

I like metal, I like pop. Both.
Of course some pop singers who has better outfit than voice aren't so much my taste. But I think that not all pop has to be commercial thing. I think some metal is commercial too.
I don't listen to MTV so I find my music mostly on internet and I don't care if it's commerical or not. I have some artists with 100 000 listeners and some of them only with 1 000 listeners.
 
Pop music does get a lot of crap but there are some good non commercial pop banRAB. The Vaselines, Pavement, and most recently MGMT.
 
I didn't mean to come off as such an ignorant, narrow-minded metalhead, cause I sure don't consider myself one. If it makes anyone feel better, I was referring to mainstream rap, I'm sure there is lot's of good rap out there. Please forgive that post, especially the last sentence, I was rather new to the world of metal when I posted that, and before I discovered metal I was extremely musically confused, so I wanted to take on to the world of metal as soon as possible. I'm smarter than that now, so sorry if I offended anyone. Now can we please move on passed that? I really regret saying it.
 
I'm still adapting to it, and I still have a ways to go before I can even fairly call myself a metalhead. But a reason for that comment was my brother got into metal before me, and he was a very aggresive metal fan, so he kinda rubbed off on me.
 
Well I don't think Pavement were ever popular by the standarRAB set by most of the artists who are marketed as "pop," nor is their music super-accessible, a characteristic of most popular music. No, I wouldn't call them pop at all. Hell, they're almost posterboys for the 90s alternative movement.
 
Actually, there are a lot of people who cannot rap (myself included). Also, there are a lot of death metal banRAB that are extremely repetitive. You can't just generalize a whole genre of music without looking into it.
 
Just be careful when posting about metal, or even speaking about it for that matter. Not that you are like them, but the majority of self proclaimed metal heaRAB are the worst type of music fan imaginable.
 
TBH, i'm not really anti either.
I don't really like either, but i don't nessecarily hate either. As with all genres, there is good and bad. IMO both of these are have more bad than good. But that is probably how every genre is for everyone.

I don't enjoy most the top 40 pop e.g. that fireflies song. But i enjoy small amounts of it. E.G. blackfield, The Killers, Kaiser Cheifs

I don't most metal because a lot of the vocals are to growly/screamy/yelly/death. But I also enjoy some metal - e.g. the few Porcupine Tree songs which are a bit metal and in small doses I can enjoy Mastadon.
 
I like good pop, and I also like good metal. =D

If anything, I'm pretty much anti-rap, but I can basically get into just about any other type of music with some exceptions of course.
