I can name at least 30 metal bands that have no breakdowns nor screaming?

very true. Even though i mainly play metal, there isn't one metal band that even cracks my top 6 (Modest Mouse, Brand New, The Get Up Kids, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, The Smiths/ Morrisey's solo carreer, and Niel Young). I still have periods of time where i'll ditch the metal and listen to some Crystal Castles (if you've never heard of them, check it out), Andrew Jackson Jihad, or some 60's/ 70's/ 80's rock & metal (TONS of Dire Straits, Jefferson Airplane, Old school Judas Priest, and Queensryche)Take a break from metal and try exploring other genres. You'll never know what type of music appeals to you. This happened to me with genres like folk, ambient and even electronic.
So explore![]()
Mmmmmmmmmm djenty.
I listen to far less metal as a percentage of what I listen to daily than I used too, but it's because my tastes have broadened and I want to give time to all kinds of music, not just metal.
The way I see it, if you truly love a genre of music and no matter how much your taste can broaden, you wont ever leave that music behind for good, you'll always come back to it and always listen to it sometimes.
I may not wear metal band t shirts anymore really or really associate all that much with general metal culture, but there's ALWAYS going to be a place somewhere in my heart for metal.
