Yeah, I’ll admit to liking Sublime too, but metal they are not. Sure people can say metal is just a silly, contrived term for heavy music, but then again, we label things for a reason – so that we can find more things fitting that particular genre. Especially in a commercial environment, genre labelling can be useful. What’s shitty though are the people that argue about the tiniest little things… Are Opeth Melodic Death Metal or Progressive Death Metal? And so on.

I don’t think we should let this get to us. Who cares if zune thinks Blink is metal, we know what metal is comprised of and that is all what should matter. Ozzy taught us a long time ago that “Metal” is a silly title for the genre of heavy music, if something rocks, it rocks…end of story.

Well , this just shows how much the music industry and the music distributing industry are focused on whoever sells the most. Just care about the most popular for the majority. And we all know who the majority is.

Sublime is one of my guilty pleasures too. It’s like a ska-punk-reggae mix that I really dig.

That just really pissed me off last night. It just seemed like a gross oversite, Sublime? as much as I like them, they are SKA not metal. oh well. at least We know the truth.
