On the common topic of music, I used to like an awful lot of the heaviest metal with the throatiest screams, regardless of how complex or intricate the actual music was. There's very little in the way of music that I hate, but a lot of that old stuff I used to listen to bland, the bellowing completely replacing any melodic vocals is unappealing, and any old music files I've dug up on my parents' computer are usually awful in quality to boot.
There's a particular band and particular song that is on the tip of my tongue as the perfect example of this, but I'm having trouble finding it. I believe I found them first in a sample CD from 'Metal Hammer', a metal magazine to which I was subscribed to a year one time as a Christmas present. The band was called the '___________ Brothers', I think, and the song title might have been robot-themed and might have had a 'K' replacing a 'C' somewhere, because that's obviously bad-ass. Also the chorus contained the alleged word 'motherfucker', so obviously I was being really cool and edgy by listening to it. Darn, this is going to bother me for a while.
Anyway, 'Atreyu' is another band that's a fair example. They recently reunited after having been broken up for a while and I was excited to hear their new stuff. Then I heard their new stuff, and after being a bit miffed, I went back and listened to their older work and was equally disappointed. They're... passable. I think this is the second time I've listened to them this year: http://youtube.com/watch?v=bYlKLyRs-Kw/
More recently, I used to play League of Legends a lot. How embarrassing.
