Rock music was great until grunge came along. Stupid Nirvana and their crappy music... then we have the rock of today: Linkin Park, blink-182, Limp Bizkit, KoRn... they all suck. (Okay, so some of those bands have disbanded, but they're still recent.)
The rock music I like is mostly from the 60's and 70's with just a hint of 80's and very early 90's. (Another perspective: from the Beatles to Guns n' Roses.) I do listen to some metal (old school Metallica and such) but I'm certainly not one of those long-haired punk assholes who rebels against all forms of authority. I agree, the idea that "Person X is part of Group X because he/she listens to Music X" is retarded.

I disagree. Great grunge bands were Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, (older) Nirvana, and Pearl Jam. Believe or not, most grunge bands have a considerable amount of musical talent compared to today's crap.

I'm in a heavy metal band, and I've been playing guitar and writing music for most of my life.

Oh and I find this stuff very interesting. I recently saw a documentary about Punk on IFC that cleared up some stuff for me.
From what I understand Emo used to be short for Emotional Hardcore and Hardcore's short for Hardcore Punk. But most emo these days doesn't sound very hardcore.

Rock music is still great, you just have to dig deeper to find it. What you see on MTV and hear on the radio is not all that's out there.

Yeah, a lot of emo isn't very hardcore. Evanescence is the "wah wah" kind of emo.
I know there are good underground rock bands though. I'm just not familiar with too many of them. :)
And yes, grunge > mainstream rock of today. Some talent is better than none. A common trend in music today seems to be "make the song as non-musical as possible." Do this by any means necessary: scream into the microphone in lieu of singing; instead of instruments, make obnoxious noises; add too much bass to the song. Do whatever it takes to make the song suck and kids who are looking for something "different" (when in fact they just go with the group like everyone else) will flock to whatever shit it is that you've put out. God forbid that you listen to those "conformist" bands that don't suck.

Well illusion what I mean is, that was pretty much the same definition I was just told, only with the added bit about what music they stereotypically prefer.

I'm surprised no one on this board listens to children of bodom. they sound like video game music.
they're horrible to me though..

Well, I like heavy metal for the most part.

I love metal. I don't listen to a whole lot of it, but I do love what I do listen to. (Metallica and... uh... damn, I need to expand my horizons in the metal genre.)

If you want to expand your metal horizons, just ask me. I have about 500 metal cds on my computer :X
