What kind of music does everybody like?

Which would then be negative interest.

Well, I absolutely LOVE Agalloch... might one call them progressive?

Nope. However, you do like some of Pain of Salvation and they are definitely prog. So I guess that counts for something.

Yah, I guess. I don't know how one would classify Agalloch. *shrug*

Goth metal, actually.

I've always found it funny how there are like a bazillion genres of metal, but all of them sound more or less the same to me.

No offense intended.

SA: good call. Goddamn it. FUCKING ASS. I hate goths. Oh well, I may as well just buy some more black clothes, get some eye liner and come to terms with it.

Janzki, it has to do with the degree of expertise and experience, if you will. For example, to the undiscerning ear, most all classical sounds the same. The same idea applies to metal, or most any other genre with a lot of internal diversity.

I think the point though, is that the hardcore fans seem to act as if the difference was more than it actually is.

hmm

It's not an act at all.

It's like when people tell me they can't tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi. I've been drinking both for a long time, so it's obvious to me. But to someone who doesn't drink either of them very often, they do taste similar. Same thing with music. I've been a fan of metal for 9 years, and I've listened to just about every genre imaginable, most of them in depth. I can tell a difference, but a lot of it is subtlety.
