this might just be good old me being wrong again

but "pop punk" seems like an oxymoron, doesn't it
Punk's biggest characteristic, besides speed and harsh vocals, is the simple chord progression
EVERY rock band has a simple chord progression with the exception of some Jazz Fusion and Prog Rock.  And not all Punk has simple riffs, so that isn't true either.  Fugazi is punk, but they aren't very simple.
I'm not just saying simple, I mean three chord progressions are almost staple on that side of the music industry. I more mean that it isn't considered insane that, as an example, Green Day only used combinations of three or four chords over the course of an entire album.
That's true for the majority of music outside of Classical, Jazz, and Folk.
"Majority" makes it harder to respond. I can always say that, sans the bar chord/djent subgenres, metal can get pretty complex. At the same time, since you said "majority" and not "all", you're still technically right.

Either way, basic progressions and speed are the most notable things about punk at a glance. The progression is more notable because even if most music uses the same progression, there are other ways to change it up, like stroke patterns, which (again, speed) isn't really as utilized.
I find the lyricism and vocals to be more prominent in most Punk music.

It basically is, which is why "true punkz" don't like pop punk typically

i like a lot of what is considered "industrial rock"

but i don't like every industrial rock song
in fact, most of it sucks--but that has nothing to do with the genre

it's called sturgeon's law
90% of everything fucking sucks
Science doesn't have a name for what I did to your mother last night

>find song you like
>learn the genre
>ask for more recs in the genre
>enjoy your new music
or, no

that's stupid

because if i like a song, i didn't like it for it's genre

i liked it because it was a good song


I'm done

subgenres don't help me at all

what am i supposed to infer if a song is classified as "fucknut shriveldick acid house" or whatever

if the song is good, the song is good
genre is irrelevant

You wouldn't last in a metal community
is that a challenge?

i'll join a metal forum, and in their introduction thread, i'll post something like, "Hi, I'm Verb. I've been a fan of metal music for some time now. These are my favorite bands:"

And then discreetly attach "Tool" in there somewhere.

do you think people would die if i did that
No. Nobody would take you seriously and you'd be made fun of and ignored unless you kept your opinions to yourself. You'd end up being the kid who doesn't belong, but who tries so hard to fit in.

and I'm not talking like Metal Archives. I mean a real Metal forum  that doesn't just circlejerk over Iron Maiden and Burzum
