What are some of your "warning sign" bands? - When you hear someone says they like X band then it's time to ask for the check.

Tool fans are the worst. Used to go to the local pub a lot. Every Saturday, that fucking tool song. Then he'd put it on again a while later. Eventually discovered that this old-school jukebox had a hard reset switch on the bottom. Reset this shit, slam in some coins and put on "Let there Be Rock" by ACDC, the 20 minute live version. Because fuck you, the time signatures on this Tool album do not symbolise a double helix, get a life.

No idea how Florida Georgia Line evaded this thread.
It’s the most formulaic and soulless country pop ever, and the only people I’ve ever seen willingly listen to it are 30 year olds who drive lifted Dodge Rams to high school football games.

Whenever I hear this, I always picture "true metal" being defined as either overproduced '80s glam shit or the kind of junk that has a lot of atonal growling. NIN isn't metal, Manson isn't metal, APC isn't metal, AiC isn't metal, Godsmack isn't metal, Deftones isn't metal, Staind isn't metal, Cold isn't metal, Dream Theater isn't metal, Alter Bridge isn't metal, Devy's solo work isn't metal, Metallica and Sabbath barely count as a result of the grandfather clause, and the only stuff I listen to that's "true metal" is GnR, SYL, and Meshuggah.

Good for you, mate.

Look, it's like with anything, you want to get into a thing - ask around what the classics are and go from there. That's true metal.

I'd say the '90s count as classic.

In regards to the Weird Al stuff, while it's not to everyone's tastes, it's generally not bad music. Kitschy, certainly. But not bad.

He and his band (most of whom have been with him for nearly his whole career) have more musical skill and talent than the vast majority of the industry. There are flourishes in "The Saga Begins" that you would be shocked to learn, after listening, weren't in "American Pie," because they absolutely improve the song.

Weird Al is a fantastic musician, sure, but he used his powers for not evil even, but cringe. How many times did I have to listen to those parodies at parties, meanwhile some new great and original album dropped. You eventually stop hanging out with the Weird Al people, because they blow and their music blows. And they usually can't drink.

Ghost.

Which is a shame, I like a lot of their songs, but if people are REALLY in your face about being huge fans of Ghost, or Tobias in specific, ESPECIALLY a woman, she is insane.

Yeah it is a shame as you said because I do like alot of their music especially their debut album but there are some REALLY insane Ghost fans.

For me the only red flag band that comes to my mind is Five Finger Death Punch, like every single person I have met that likes this band is like addicted to meth and are kind of these tough guy wiggers.

Don't know if these were mentioned, but I want to add to the discord I created:

MF Doom
Guy: yes, I watched Aqua Teen Hunger Force and B(C)oondox when I was in my early twenties and let it define me.
Girl: I dated the guy above and lemme tell you why it was his fault but still love him...

Ghost
(This is hard because they are great background music... like unoffensive grocery store music you can do dishes to)
Chick: Tobias is king (also I'll let you put it in my butt, then ruin your life)
Dude: Tobias is king (also ill let you put it in my butt, then I'll let that ruin my life).

Mushroomhead
Both genders, big fans of this group are Midwestern Hot Topic barnacles that are just two steps shy of being juggalos or Slipknot fans. They're moms and dads now, and the moms are still putting out behind their husband's backs to a delivery driver at their work. The dads are doing construction and come home to a blown out wife and settle in for the evening calling 12-year olds faggots in Call of Duty.

Bon Iver
Both genders.
You will get throated by them after buying them a black coffee and then they'll show you their poems.

There have been a lot of great additions to this topic. You're all fucking maniacs and your musical taste is shit. I love it. Keep it rolling!
