I tend to prefer metal/hardcore, but generally i listen to a variety of different music. I'm all about honest, hardworking and passionate music... bands that really care about what they do and constantly give it their all.
If you care more about your fringe, how much you can drink, and how many sluts you can bang, than your songs then its more than likely that i WILL hate you.
