Music is an emotional experience for me. Like ive always said i need to be able to either:

Drive to it.

Play to it.

**** to it.

Smoke to it.

Chill to it.


If i can't do those things with it then it doesn't qualify.

I categorize these instrumentations as interchangeable to me because they both give the same vibes in the same sort of way. They both invoke the same emotion and the same imagery. To me at least.

Hmmm...let me see if I can frame it in your terms.

First I should note that music is an emotional experience for me too. But it's also an intellectual experience. If I want to listen to dark, untechnical sludge, I go listen to Sunn O or something. If I want to listen to something more musically stimulating, I might find some power metal like Narnia. I'm not strictly a technique snob, I do listen to a lot of dirt.

For me, Metallica operates in an in-between area that is neither emotionally nor intellectually stimulating enough to keep my interest.

By your criteria, I can drive, smoke, and chill to Metallica pre-AJFA. After that, I'd rather listen to fingernails on a chalkboard, especially when I smoke. There's no "vibe" to it. It sounds to me like a band that decided to change their entire persona to be more popular. Whereas, Megadeth actually took on a guitar virtuoso to move them in a more musically satisfying direction. Sometimes when I'm in that mood, I want to here complexity and nuance that a more dynamic music brings.

And finally, who ****s to Metallica or Megadeth? Are you sleeping with 16 year olds?

Yeah i can't say ive EVER ****ed to metal.

Metallica/Megadeath qualify in the Drive-To/Play-To categories.

A song doesn't have to fit all the categories. It just needs to be useful in one.

My Spotify is a whirlwind of genres ranging from The Drifters all the way up to Migos and the latest from DJ Khaled and nearly every rock genre in between.

I'm more of a Punk guy than a Speed Metal guy, but my metal playlist is often used too.

And there you go.

I pretty much only listen to heavy rock and metal. To me, Metallica is pop music noise, like DJ Khaled.

See, i dabble in all of it, but i don't hone in on any specific genre. I like everything from 40's bop to 70's punk, 80's glam rock, 70's rock, 90's, most eras of hip hop, down to weird shit like Retro-Synth Wave, Folk Punk fusion, neo metal....all that shit.

There's only two genres that i just can't get into: Reggae and that Hardcore Death Metal shit (i'm not even sure what you call that crap).
