when i'm thinking about what kind of music i like, time signatures are the last thing that i think about
Not exactly the same.
it is to me...

the guitars are louder and faster and the vocalist is growling

that doesn't make any real difference to me... it's just heavier metal

I know for a fact that he occasionally listens to Iron Maiden
yeah, and i can't distinguish it aesthetically from any of the music you posted

the fact that they all use different technical stuff--like, what does that have to do with genre

i thought it was ALL about how it sounded, not the composition

Tool is not Metal
they all sound like metal to me

you keep talking about what doesn't make metal, but that doesn't help me understand what DOES make metal

because even the "punk" example you gave sounds   e x a c t l y   like what i thought metal was

Not particularly liking Metal does not mean I don't know what metal is either way.
you should still be able to give me ONE name, if you know what it is

And I don't really listen to Metal, not like on purpose. I just don't really know any bands I really like that are metal.
...

and that makes you an authority on what metal is.

i am so glad that i wasted my time with you

i am curious, though

if tool isn't metal, what the fuck is?
Just progressive rock.
learn how to read, please

if tool isn't metal

then what bands are considered metal
i guarantee, they'll sound similar in some remote way to tool

even if i cared about genres,
Well, sadly to say the world doesn't revolve around what you give a shit about.
lovely irony

the world doesn't revolve around your shitty perception of music, either

if someone called tool "metal"
literally only you would care.

You shouldn't just not like something because of a genre it is
even if i cared about genres, this is just stupid

if i dislike everything about what makes up a particular genre
i could say with confidence that i hate the entire genre

i do this with video games, not music, but still

I don't think in genres. Because I think that's fucking idiotic.

Music is music. I don't care WHAT it is, as long as it sounds good.
It also helps to have an intelligent message, but that has little to do with genre.

Nope. Never did.

Tool is more metal than NIN either way, so... Piss poor comparison.

The only people who call it metal are innate morons who would try to classify anything as metal to seem like metal heads.
i mean goddammit, this line pissed me the fuck off

No, I really don't think that's what anyone is trying to do. Yeah, because so many people care to "seem like metalheads", enough to "mislabel" other bands to "SEEM" like metalheads. OOOH, the horror.

No, he probably just legitimately thought it was metal. To be honest, I thought it was metal too. To me, metal means... heavy guitars, abrasive sound, defiant lyrics, and intense, often shouted vocals. that sort of thing.

all of which tool has in a lot of their songs.

it's easy to confuse it with metal, and because of your sententious shitheadery, I just learned the news that, hey, Tool's not metal. Apparently. Because some guy on the Internet says so.

kk bud

maybe you'll realize that genres don't matter, at all

and i don't care to be called a "metalhead" either

By what? Fucking Wikipedia? Guess what? Wikipedia is shit at Genre classifying. It's not metal. Tool even cringes as being called metal. The only people who call it metal are innate morons who would try to classify anything as metal to seem like metal heads.
holy cunt

You know, it's really fucking stupid to try to browbeat someone over getting a who-gives-a-cunt little piece of minutiae wrong and have the audacity not to even CORRECT them in the process. "ARGH YOU'RE WRONG FUCK YOU FOR BEING WRONG YOU'RE AN INNATE MORON I'M SUCH A MUSIC NERD THAT I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT SEMANTICS LIKE THIS"

"I WON'T TELL YOU WHAT THE ACTUAL GENRE IS, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE TOO PRODUCTIVE AND USEFUL"

fuck

all of my finals were just like, five page essays :/

kind of a joke of a first semester
Get a real major then.
That would imply that there's anything else in the world that interests me enough that I want to get a job that involves it for the rest of my life. What an asinine implication. Try saying something smart next time.
