Fun Stuff > BAND
Do you fit in?
Spluff:
People also tend to say that when they want to 'fit in'. If they say they like everything then they are guaranteed not to clash genres with the other people.
bbqrocks:
But in front of big music fans they will just look stupid.

I'm going to ignore your first paragraph, because you made the point that it was just your opinion of metal rather than the all-too-common 'x genre is shit,' and because of your charming list of people you make fun of.
However - you are making so many presumptions in this paragraph, even assuming that someone is going to sneer at a supposed jam band, whatever the hell that's about - plenty of bands jam. Lurk for longer. You'll enjoy everything, eh - does that mean you'll also enjoy everything I like? Including gangsta rap, hardcore punk, pop-punk, pop, trip-hop, alt-rock, country, psychedelia, prog-rock - I could go on. What so many people perceive as the 'everything' on this board, is by far not the everything.
As for your reasons for liking the Flectkones - more talent in their little finger, eh. Then you should at least respect metal bands. Most of them boast extraordinarily (well, less so these days) talented guitarists and drummers, and many more have great vocalists too.

yeah i do presume. it happens im young what can i do? not? probably. whatever. too many stupid people i know who bash others for musical taste, im probably to defensive for my own good.
oh i know some metal bands have talent. i mean look at Danny Carey and Bill Ward. I can respect what they do with drums, but im not into heavy distortion on guitar. I mean Wylde, Vai and Morello do blow me away.
EDIT: nvm
SleeperCylon:
I heard an interesting idea for an algorithm that compares similarity of taste. It was pertaining to 'Recommendation' algorithms on things like Amazon but it still applies.
Basically a neural network approach where the they don't look at just any sort of tags or whatever, but rather just look for subgroups of people which tend to like a lot of the same things. The beauty of this approach is you wouldn't rely on any classification you make up, the middle layer of neurons is basically a 'black box' which only looks at the data and finds the constants that are most predictive of observed result.
Yeah, the classification 'alternative' has been meaningless ever since alternative went mainstream.

I recommend you read this paper: Analysis of Recommender Systems’ Algorithms.
