Question

McTaggart:
Good/Bad. All there is to it. The problem is that my good and bad won't correpond nicely to the next guy's good and bad.

If someone doesn't like what you like, ask them why. If they can't answer, punch them in the face.

Robbo:
Also Johnny C, I'd invite you to look up how Black Sabbath started out. Rock influence is almost an after throught in Metal, original drawing mostly from Blues (pure Blues rather than the watered down white man version).

And as Khar pointed out, has move away from that. A lot drawing more heavily on things like Classical, Folk, Punk, Jazz and other things. There are Metal bands that dont use any sort of Blues or Rock based things in their music, or even any of the instruments in some cases.

Music changes and evloves, rather than always just creating subgeners.

SuperSUGA:
I'm getting quite a sick pleasure out of watching this thread progress.

Why even use 'good and bad'? It's 'I like it or I don't like it' Sadly, that requires exposing yourself to everything, which is time consuming. SO, Perhaps it'd be nice if someone (i.e. me) actually tried answering the question instead of saying 'the answer sucks' ya freakin' hippies.

If you like a wide variety of music, and at the same time, a lot of that music happens to be in a similar style, you may want to know 'wow, there must be a name for this style, since it's so prevalent.' and lo and behold, there is!

Take, for example 'techno' which is one of the most widely misused genre names in existence. techno describes a certain kind of electronic music that generally features cheesey fake clap sounds on every other beat, 4/4 timing, and obligatory synthy sounds and voice recordings...similar to Strongbad's description. This genre hardly exists anymore except in immitators who emulate the style that was more popular in the early 90s.
While that description is pretty broad, it's easier to compare when contrasted with the OTHER genres that it is mistaken for. i.e. Trance, goa, eurodance, downtempo, breakbeat, IDM and such. Even those subgenres have subgenres.

Then you have metal, industrial metal, thrash metal, screamcore...dark metal...etc etc.
Rock, alt-rock, post-rock, grunge, indie-rock, space-rock....blah blah blah
Acid jazz, jazz, abstract jazz, blues, RnB, swing, Big Band
Rap, Hip Hop
and of course classical music is divided more by time period than style, like Baroque and such.

those are a few examples of genres and subgenres. look them all up, maybe you'll find something you like.
