le bump. 

So, at first my ears nearly bled from the previous submission. Mostly because I was wearing headphones. Then I turned the volume down and I could appreciate the rythm with less physical pain.(the youtube comment "sick... needs more bass in my opinion" made me go WHAAAT?! My ears are bleeding man!). There was a sudden screech that hurt anyways.  I can understand why one would like this kind of music. It is probably the more social kind of person who can actually DANCE or at least just nod mildly to the beat while standing cool and aloofly to the side and all that hip jazz.. That's totally not me though. My last attempt to dance was just awkward. It actually does have something to it though, so it passes.
6/10

And now a song from an artist from a genre that usually doesn't interest me, at least, modern rap and hip hop never quite got my love. This song however, is very catchy!

Snoop Dogg - My Medicine

Also, a bonus song. Sing along!

Oh heh, I feel spectaculary stupid. That turned out like calling "Hay, how about building a car, with WHEELS!" to a crowd of accomplished car engineers.

Well, I'm still mustering concentration to try it out anyway... with u-bends and waterwheels!

Ahaha, I have an album of Heidevolk. But it gets a bit boring after a while. Maybe I've got the wrong album and perhaps the others are better. I had great fun seeing them live years ago though and I like my heidevolk top I purchased that day with the two drinking horns and wriggly writing. Got to love wriggly writing..
This is a cover of Normaal by the way. But as they say... uh.. Better well stolen than poorly invented..? Something like that.
So 8/10

And now, a song for the kobolds. With top hats..
Madness - Shut Up

How obvious is it I am bumping this thread? =) I like this thread...

Tea pots man....
They do boil if you watch them.. Just watch them!
The truth out there!

It makes elves even creepier if you think of them arriving at a depot, brushing the snow off, and "would you like to buy a Rhesus Macaque? Oh look he's sleeping".

They've been watching too much Monty Python. Silly elves

I was messing with some ridiculous monster name generator and it came up with "Wingcat Ray".

I'm thinking it's a sea ray (you know, as in manta), relatively large, that can fly through (and breathe) the air and acts like a cat.

So an intelligent flying killer manta.. which which breeds like mad, 'adopts' dwarves and kills FPS.. among other things?
Nice.

Like already said before: Wikipedia describes it quite well, including most known bands for every genre: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_music
Not on your list but hilarious: Doom metal. Not to listen to, but live. "Now, it's time for a fast song."
Priceless. Should call it Snail Metal or something though. Or snooze metal.. or I-only-had-1-minute-of-material-and-smeared-it-over-a-whole-concert-metal.

Speedmetal: Can't be accused for being slow. Running Wild describe themselves as speedmetal. (they sing about pirates! how neat is that!) Not sure if Peter Pan Speedrock falls into that category. it has 'speedrock' in the name, close enough. Can't name other speedmetal bands at the top of my head.

Rock 'n roll's definition has been evolved quite alot overtime. See wiki. Even the Osmond siblings used the words rock 'n roll!

Headbanger. Someone who headbangs, headbanging is the fine art of tossing your head with long manes around. either up and down (I once joked 'metalheads aren't rebel at all, they always nod yes' and noone laughed.. I think it's funny!), or completely around. you can shake your head. Or if you're weird like me, make triangles. See wiki on Headbanging. Don't take everything serious though. Not every metalhead wears shitty green jackets, though a huge patch of your favourite band on the back is quite common. It's fun to examine all the patches of an avid metalhead's jacket and see how many bands you know. Best place: metal festivals. You can even hear some nice stories of the older guys.

Punk. No idea, actually, it only just reminds me of Vyvyan of The Young Ones and Sexpistols (God save the Queeeeeen!). that's all I know. Also, that Gothic is originally branched off from punk and is very electronic, lessay Sisters of Mercy. I'll pass this question.

I am guessing alternative music is also nicely described in the wiki. Everything small, independant and undergroundy. Though when I was 15-18 though, it would probally be a pleonasm because punk=alternative. rock/metal=alternative. and scary.. Then again, everyone with a bit too many black accessoiries was swiftly called an 'alto' (a Dutch term) at my school.

If you plan on writing a paper for school, I suggest looking in your local library for books about music. I'd be viciously murdered if I tried to write a paper using only wikipedia for example..
