This feels like a new low, tbh

    Did you just try to correct the title while admitting you have absolutely no idea if you’re right? Also, none of those bands are anything alike. That’s like saying “I don’t like guitar music”

    Keep your musical ignorance to yourself, man

      Sure, most people would do just that. Problem with keeping a misconception to yourself is, you don’t learn anything. But, give a person who’s passionate about a thing the opportunity to talk about it? I think that’s more valuable.

      And, to answer the begged question: Cunningham’s Law. It states that a question will almost certainly be ignored, either because someone is afraid of not knowing and being challenged/corrected, so they say nothing; or because someone feels you should ask someone else (e.g. Google), so the best way to get information is to put yourself out there, state something that isn’t entirely accurate, and let people passionate about the subject correct you. Of course, you do get the occasional pedant who will write something mean, but that just goes with the territory of being online.

        That’s not what happened. You came into a thread spouting negativity for no reason, don’t act like you wanted to learn
