I simply listen to what appeals to my mood. I do listen to a lot of metal. But I also listen to post punk, electronic, dark classical, old rap. I could go on and on. Metal has always been my favorite. But there are so many types of music that are relatable. Metal also has so many different styles that are different, I could listen to it exclusively and still always find something to fit my mood. I see nothing wrong with only listening to metal if you're incorporating different styles.
Not sure about healthy but can get old. I am in my 60s and have many tastes except rap. But I love old soul and RnB. Listening to only one thing is like playing guitar with only the minor pentatonic LOL
Hey Jon! Great way to make me think about that as well. I don't want to get too long winded but I lift in my own gym 3 days a week, train in Karate twice a week, I'm a full time Butcher at a grocery store and I just started my own channel the end of last year that I only do "Metal Reviews". All I listen to is Metal. I've listened to over 100 albums this year alone just to keep up and have something to write and talk about. I force myself to listen to mellower music when I spend time with my beautiful wife. So, I kinda understand how you feel about this topic. My opinion is that Metal has always been my "Go To" since I was a teenager and I love it more now and I'm 55 years old! Cheers brother 🤘😎🍻
Its probably like 80%+ metal for me BUT im married and my wife likes classic rock, pop and country and I will listen with her, and talk to her about her music and go to shows together, and she comes to see metal with me.
As much as I love the many levels of Metal. I as well have always been proud of my love of music with no filter. Beautifully explained & said cool man!! Thank you 🙂🤘❤️🖤🖤
I love my heavy metal stuff but also have a variety of other genres that I listen to such as pop, rap/hip-hop, r&b mostly in the 90s to mid 2000s, etc.
I've been a Metal Head for over 35 years. I started with Hair Bands in the 80s and moved on to Thrash Metal, and then Extreme Metal such as Death Metal, Black Metal, Grindcore, Doom and so on. I also love 80s Pop music. There's so much great music out there. I never wanted to pigoen hold myself to one genre of music. If I like it I'll listen to it, I have no shame about what I listen to. I do however prefer old metal, that I grew up on. But this channel is so great, since it's introduced me to a lot of new music and bands.
I listen to a lot of Japanese jazz/fusion. Stuff like Shiina Ringo, H Zettrio, Hiromi, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, etc. Even J-pop is good. Anything by Airi Suzuki is flawless. Morning Musume is great. It's the polar opposite of death metal, and I sometimes need that. American pop music is a disaster though. It's lazy and grotesque. It's Clockwork Orange torture. Stateside, Kamasi Washington is badass. That cover he did of Metallica's "My of Friend Misery" is better than the original. Once those drums kick in, you'll understand. I wish his bassist, Miles Mosley, would put out another album. Watch that "Abraham" live track of his where he's in the library. The solo is unbelievable and metal in a way you wouldn't think was possible. (My Clockwork Orange metaphor fails. The MC loved the music. He hated what he was watching as it played, but you know what I mean.)
I only listen to metal as well and 90% of the time it's new music. I also only read books about metal. and in my downtime I talk about metal most of the time haha. I'm in my 40s and I've been doing this since 17 years old. I just love metal tbh. I don't feel there's anything wrong with it! But if you like other music, you should try to make time to check it out too. The thing with metal is that it's so expansive, there's SO MUCH new music all the time you can never really catch up completely.
I listen to mostly metal. I also like classic rock like pink Floyd and the doors, as well as 90s alternative and grunge. I think most metal fans have one or more other genres that they like.
Another fantabulous episode. My problem seems to be listening to too many genres. Once people find out you are not a genre purist, they instantly hit you with the -1 to charisma. Metal is my King, but I'll never sacrifice Punk, Reggae, and Jazz. Or Funk. Or Classical. Etc...etc...
ua-cam.com/video/pvu7Y91xUKM/v-deo.html&rco=1&ab_channel=SaracuraRubedo Best to ever play IMHO ua-cam.com/video/VT4i1XR9sJI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=UFO-Topic Best live album, is it metal?

Having listened to metal for years ranging from metalcore to extreme, a few rabbit holes that I have enjoyed a lot over the years include post-punk, Alternative EDM (Breakcore, hardcore etc), and J-music (Japanese indie, J-rock, J-pop). In some ways, it's possible to relate a lot of genres to metal sonically or musically so it's helped me become more well-rounded I would say
Do you like Babymetal? I didn't get it until I photographed then when they toured with Dethklok. Then I was like 🤯 holy shit I've never seen a metal show get the crowd so hype before!
@@heavymetalphilosophy Yeah I've been following them since 2014-ish. I can see why some in the metal sphere would be skeptical of them even today but knowing their roots and the influences gives you an appreciation for how they are able to pull it off. If you are interested, one of babymetal's songwriters is a producer named Yuyoyuppe who did a lot of vocaloid post-hardcore and some metalcore stuff. His Project "Draw the Emotional" is worth checking out I think.
Yeah I'm the same. I check out everything and listen to many different genres. The good albums get added to my "good albums" playlist which I rarely ever revisit because my "watch later" playlist is filled with like 300 albums lol
What kind of question is that? Why would I listen to something I don't enjoy? I listen to metal because that's what gets the dopamine flowing. Is playing only one instrument healthy? Is doing only one sport healthy? Is having only one job healthy? Is having only one partner healthy? Is eating only one food he... NO, THIS ONE IS NOT, DON'T DO THAT!
I love music, so while I have metal and rock music as my favorites, I just need to get different inputs from other soundscapes and feels. It all comes down to my natural curiosity.
You can't go through life being a one trick pony. What I do find dumb is metalheads trying to be more Metal than the next guy..... ie. My metal is more metal than yours ...c'mon. Whatever happened to taste. I remember being in high school here in south Africa in the 80's... when we used to smuggle cassette tapes that were pirated from one to the next... hey don't judge me... that was what the world was for us back then ... our crappy government was scorned by the rest of earth for apartheid... what I was saying is that I remember getting a Master of puppets bootleg pirate copy and thinking I was a God and my friends listened to Def Leppard and I hated their stupid guts because they listened to that dumb crap... musically they were just inferior... musically. Mentally... metal took over my life... have I remained superior...yes I guess😂 but I can listen to any other genres without feeling like I'm cheating on Metal...this only happens when I listen to shitty bands like Marilyn Manson or fear factory... Ps new New album by Vorga = AOTY🎉🎉🎉🎉
Whoa! I felt like I had to smuggle MoP from fear of the wrath of my evangelical Christian family but I didn't actually have to smuggle it due to government oppression. That's strong love of metal there! ✊
I listen to metal about 90% of the time in every once in awhile I'll go back to my old blues records or mainstream metal like Judas priest Iron maiden Dio... Every morning after work I listen to metal to relax.... And as far as the reading thing reading nonfiction just slows you down you got to grasp all those facts and dates and places... However reading fiction is like listening to death metal.... Just listen and take it in and enjoy.
I'm like you, John. I never want to be "that guy" who only likes music from his past. In fact, I rarely listen to old music anymore. The older I get, the heavier my tastes get.
I grew up in the south and it's mostly all I ever heard and hated it. Then when I grew up and became a musician... I did a brief stint as a studio guitarist. This led me to some songwriting seminars and seeing how the sausage is made in Nashville made me hate it even more. Plus it's a bunch of pandering. Easily the least authentic genre.
@@heavymetalphilosophy I always thought that country music wasn't musically interesting. Hell pop, rap, hip hop, rnb, rock and metal are far more diverse in sound than country.
Metal's my stranded-on-an-island genre, but I consume all kinds of music daily; albeit, not a lot of new stuff. I recently delved deeper into the catalogs of Jim Croce, Small Faces, and Thin Lizzy. I also gave the new Judas Priest album a few listens. Heard some cool Depeche Mode and NIN remixes, as well. But in the car - it's metal! 🛻🤘
I listen to metal and not much more. I don't think that's bad, it just gives me so much more than listening to say pop or jazz. It's an interesting question! I do think it's healthy to listen to metal if your heart and soul is involved and it helps you go through life. Thanx for great shows every week! 👏😀
I love metal and hardcore but I like all sorts of other stuff too the other night I just put liked songs from Spotify on and it went from converge one song then mazzy star the next
I listen to a variety of genres of music, but when I'm in my car it's all Thrash or Death Metal for me. There's nothing wrong with listening to all metal. On a side topic, I'm reading a book on Philosophy in general, but do you recommend anyone in particular to read once I get that one finished? I love your channel, I discovered you a couple weeks ago.
metal is my go-to aswell, 90% of the time at least but I also enjoy other rock genres sometimes, also hip hop (especially 90s memphis rap and some darker newer stuff) and even some industrial music and industrial-tinged electronic music, there's good music everywhere if you're looking for it
It's a tricky question and I'm glad you talked about this topic. With metal being so diverse, I thought I was already well rounded with just that style. However I also enjoy a lot of prog rock and discovering the site Prog Archives has helped me find lots of non metal music that I like. What I find interesting about prog is that it can pull influences from anything, it's almost like having all music styles in one genre. I have a lot of respect for people like you who dedicate themselves to exposing new music from obscure bands and I understand it can be frustrating to have little time to return to your favorite albums from past years. I've started to have that problem in 2024, so I've begun to slow down the number of new releases I listen to while still keeping track of what comes out. So now half of what I listen to is music from the last 12 months and the other half includes anything that's over a year old. This balance saved my musical journey.
My favorite death metal album last year was prog and my top black metal albums were all mostly prog as well... I wonder if this was my usual prog random or perhaps subconsciously influenced by what I talked about in this episode. 🤔
@@heavymetalphilosophyIt's quite possible. I see that last year you had Enslaved, Dodeheimsgard, Horrendous and the Anchoret in your favourites (I also loved all of these 😀). I think that these bands are ways for metal fans to start exploring other music styles through their own genre. For me it's the other way round because I started listening to metal through the softer genres (power, prog, symphonic, etc ) and the progressive black/ melodeath bands helped me appreciate the more extreme metal styles.
Most metalheads expand their horizons when they get older & "mature". When i'm not jammin' metal, it's 60s Music For Me. I Love THE MONKEES, THE MAMAS & THE PAPAS & THE BEE GEES as Much As I Love SLAYER, MEGADETH, CANNIBAL CORPSE & MORBID ANGEL..... & have No Problem Admitting It.

You should interview Justin Horval aka J-Dawg from Hellsheadbangers. He's the epitome of a metal elitist but very knowledgable about death metal and black metal. Gatekeeping and elitism in the metal scene could be an interesting topic. For example J-Dawg thinks wearing a hat makes you a poser and labels metalcore and deathcore as "twinkcore" which I find hilarious.
He had a good conversation with Melanie loves Death Metal. His elitism really turned me off when I discovered his channel, but after I saw his appearance on her channel I softened a bit. It seems he's semi joking tho I'm sure it's his true feelings to an extent too.
I grew up on classic rock, metal, and 80s/90s rap with metal always being the go to but i listen to all kinds of music. I think it's good to have a wide variety. Lately I've added in a lot of Dirty Heads and other similar groups. Also, that carnivore diet bit killed me lol
„Metal“ is a very broad spectrum and what belongs to it and what doesn't is very relative and also varies from person to person.
I simply listen to what appeals to my mood. I do listen to a lot of metal. But I also listen to post punk, electronic, dark classical, old rap. I could go on and on.
Metal has always been my favorite. But there are so many types of music that are relatable.
