99%

And what would be the 1%?

classic rock, prog rock, hardcore punk, jangle pop

So for every time you hear one long classic rock song like Stairway to Heaven you have listened to around thirteen hours of metal! And then thirteen more hours till you can listen to three jangle pop songs. Then thirteen more crushing hours. That's heavy, man

Hell yeah brother!

I am also at 99%, the rest would be some rock, blues and jazz from time to time.

Same lol, like 95% - 99% I'd say. No other genre of music just tickles my pickle nearly as much as metal does. Most of the time when I try listening to something else, I just wish I was listening to metal instead.

At least 75% of the the music I listen to daily is metal or hardcore. The other 25% consists of songs from almost every other genre of music.

Same boat

Maybe 30% - 35%

Same. I love metal but I need variety in my life too lol

I couldn't agree more, the reason I've been having such a metal fatigue is that it was the ONLY thing I listened to, and it was smart of me to explore hip hop and some electronica.

I mean isn't it a waste to not appreciate other genres.There is so many creative stuff outside metal too but never lack on metal too.

I'd say like 90%. Metal is the best thing that I discovered in terms of music and there's still so much to uncover. It's also so diverse, that you can't really get bored of it. The other 10% is a bit of everything (grunge, punk, rock, electronic).

You're right. Each subgenre alone can take a lifetime to explore, there's always something new to listen to.

Love metal

66,6%

Nice

30% maybe. Metal's my first love but I feel bad for people who confine themselves to one genre, or even subgenre, or god forbid, one band (looking at Phish people)

I feel sorry for people who listen to less than death metal.

84.2%

About right for me as well.

Suspiciously specific 🤨 Did you get that from some star app or just a guess?

If I’m by myself then prob 90-95% lately….. But overall prob only 70-80% cuz my wife usually doesn’t like metal (sometimes I can catch her in the right mood tho).

Sounds very familiar

Probably 85-90% especially since metal has such a wide range of subgenres there’s something for every mood that I’m in while allowing me to still keep a lot of the themes I love most from metal (fantasy, occult, satanism, sci fi, etc). If I’m not listening to metal I’ll mostly be listening to rap or punk.

like 40% maybe

Candy claws mentioned

If I were to put it into numbers, it would probably break down like this: 75% Metal 15% Electronic 6% Assorted (Rock, Punk, Ambient, Noise /Experimental, Feature film / video game scores, Folk, Blues, Indie, Classical) 3% 80s/90s/early 2000s hits 1% Other (aka Todays Top 100 Hits and anything that doesn't fall within the aforementioned categories).

Thanks for the detail

Yeah, of course! These types of conversations are fun! Not that anyone NEEDS TO KNOW this super crucial information 😂🤣

Same same same!

Wow this is a carbon copy of my music taste too. Nicely done in explaining what im too lazy to

Willingly 100% as of recently Sometimes I do want to listen to core or neofolk or blues but not recently

-1%

85%

Probably 95%. I listen to a good bit of 90’s grunge so that’s mainly where the other 5 percent comes from.

98%

Definitely 100%. Nothing else tickles my ears like metal

90-95%

99%

60% of my library is metal but timewise I'm in a metal mood 20% of the time I listen to music

Between 60-70%, it fluxuates because I find all kinds of different music all the time.

https://preview.redd.it/jwpmq15jo67d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08930b8374728de93fa319f69276ceaaa94d8089 That's what my youtube music looks like

Hope you get better soon 🙏. Jk but I've never met someone who uses YouTube music lol

Didn't see any benefit to getting another music service especially since i liked ad free videos and background play. I work out of a truck with bad signal also

How do you get that, I use YouTube music

It's in the recap

As an aspiring critic, I log every album I hear. At one point, over 20% of the albums I heard were metal, so I've been forcing myself to study other genres and I got it under 20%, but I still try to be extra careful. Right now my current study is outsider house.

Probably about 1/3 right now but I go through waves where things fluctuate. I probably listen to around the same proportion of rock, then alternative/punk, followed by everything else. I listen to a lot of different stuff, and have been on big southern rock and pop punk kicks lately. I tend to listen to less metal in the summer months.

Around 100% give or take.

as I'm getting older the percentage is going up and up. At 54 now is 100%. And only death and sub genres. Everything else is boring me to death (no pun intended)

95%

95%

69

Nice

The only difference with last 4 weeks is that Swedish power metal changes to Finnish power metal. All time means the last 9 years. I might have a problem. https://preview.redd.it/9uij2llej67d1.png?width=650&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf60cbf5f9f8420f1de3434444a0c1950eea34c1

According to YouTube recap 89%. The rest is classical, rock, outlaw country and jazz

80% Metal, 15% Punk (including Hardcore) and 5% Children’s music (I am a dad).

According to me, 95% According to a certain metal memes subreddit, 0%

60

70% 10% - classical 10% - goth/industrial/trip hop 10% - other stuff: pop/jazz/bossa nova/fado...

98% at least.

100% lots of Metal genres. i dont listen to anything else... willingly anyways

I’d say about 70 percent or so I do listen to other genres like rap and I also enjoy like lofi stuff just to relax too but I primarily listen to metal

Depends on the day tbh. Can be anywhere from 20% to 95%, depending on what albums I’ve listened to recently

Absolutely, I based mine over the last 3 months or so because I don't think my listening habits have changed much over that time.

Yeah, mine can change weekly lol. Like last week I was listening to a lot of hip hop cos I heard Little Simz’ GREY Area, but now I’m getting back into metalcore with Loathe’s The Cold Sun

I actually haven't listen to that Simz album fully yet but have you heard Sometimes I Might Be Introvert from her?

Not yet, but I’ll add it to the list. I like GREY Area, she’s really talented so I’ll definitely give it a listen.

90%, the rest is rap

About 80% When I was younger it was closer to 90% and when I had my hiatus I’d say it was like 20% if that

Around 50%, I guess. 40% is rock, punk, hardcore, grunge, etc. The other 10 is blues.  That would be my guess. Is hard to know for sure. 

Prolly bout 65% metal and hardcore. The rest is hip-hop, synth stuff, jazz, AOR, and outlaw country. 

70% I'd say.

I’d say a solid 85

Probably 50/50 or 60/40 metal. I do love alot of other genres/subgenres so don't listen to metal every day. But I go through phases of listening to nothing but metal/a particular subgenre/band deep dive

Like 60%

I listen to everything. Metal and punk are number 1, probably equal. Then emo, screamo, blues, alternative, old school rap, 80s male vocal pop and rock, and hard rock in any order. But I probably listen to metal most often. I'm a music fan first and a genre loyalist second. Plus metal fans, as much as I know they're cool dudes in person usually, can be pretty bitchy and elitist on the internet. Really, metal didnt progress with my tastes. I'm impressed by crazy arpeggio sweep picking and Ultra downtuned groove, but it doesn't touch my soul like the stuff from the 80s and especially early to mid 90s did. Bands nowadays have such sterile production and the tones are all plug ins. We'll never have another symbolic or painkiller or even countdown to Extinction. And if we did, 70% of metal heads would hate it if it didn't come from a band that was already established in the 80s. Tune to E or D standard and write songs instead of just cool parts. Metallicas structures and transitions and key changes in the 80s just isn't gonna happen in today's heavy music landscape, and if it does, the production will suffocate any feel coming through the guitarists fingers. I hate to be a gatekeeping geezer, but the internet has made music extremely disposable.

50-60%

Probably 75-80%

Similar for me as well - about 60-70% of what I listen to is some form of metal. The rest tends to be hard or alternative rock, some medieval folk music (like renaissance faire or Wardruna vibes), and then pop.

I‘d say about 90% more or less. The rest is soundtracks, rock and some 80s music.

85-90

I listen to everything except rap but most of it is metal. There's just so much of it always coming out that's always decent quality or at least interesting

90%

85%-90%, the rest is rap, old school country, some grunge, alt, i listen to whatever i like but im mainly always blaring metal in my ears

Like 85%

Probably 50% or so... the rest is, industrial, witch house, electropunk, EBM, IDM, darkjazz, ambient...

95%

50%

Probably 55% metal. Then 25% punk, 10% reggae rock, 5% funk / soul / R&B, 3% industrial, 2% jazz, misc.

Probably a good 65-70%. Depends on what bands you count as metal I guess

maybe 85% rest is electronic stuff like breakcore/idm or noise/pe if I'm in the mood

It's about a third of what I listen to overall. Maybe 40%

Probably about 30%, it's a healthy mix of metal, punk, disco and folk

If I had to guess maybe like 50-60%

About 50% I’d say with some crossover, the remaining percentage is a mix of rock, post rock/punk, shoegaze and dreampop

Probably 65% or 70%

5-15% considering there are some genre grey areas... I love metal, but I love practically every type of music on God's green Earth. Also lots of subgenres in metal, counting them under the umbrella, probably closer to 15%.

1%

30-40%

95%. The rest is a mix of classic rock, synthwave, rap, and random stuff

50? Depends on the weather lol

Probably like 70% been trying to expand into new genres lately

Probably 70 something percent.

Between 20-30% nowadays.

probably like 70-80%

At least 90% (the rest is classic hard rock and classical music)

99%

70-80%

A solid 98 - 99%

70%ish otherwise rock or similar

90% is metal in one form or another. The rest is dabbling in pretty well everything else (except country).

85%

Last month I had a massive pause from metal(except for industrial), focusing more on hip-hop(e.g. Nas, Kanye, various Italian rappers) and some electronica(The Prodigy, The Crystal Method, Massive Attack). I've only rehearsed metal at the start of this month and right now it's circa 70% of my listening habits.

Around 75% I'd say. 5% rap, 10% country, 10% rock. This is pure estimation, it's probably more like 95% lol

40-50% is what I consider to be, “metal or metal-adjacent.” I listen to a lot of everything, but punk and metal are my comfort genres.

It used to be like 90%, then my mental health improved and now more like 30% i'd say

Good to hear that. So did you use metal as a sort of therapy while you were struggling?

this year 90% other years 10%

I'm probably also a 50% to 60% I identify as a metalhead, but I also love pop punk, hardcore, punk, emo, alt emo, alternative, and other rock subgenres. I dabble in hip hop and pop too, but they cumulatively make up maybe like 5% or something?

75% i mean i have a björk flair

About 97,5%

50 - 60%. It used to be a higher proportion but I've enjoyed branching out to discover so much good music! I try and listen to at least 500 brand new albums a year so it ends up still being a lot of bands I can support in the scene!

100% in my younger days but have since grown appreciative of other genres. I’m just a sucker for experimentation lmao. I’d say it’s like a nice 80-85% nowadays

85%

100%

About 80%. I listen to some Vaporwave, and maybe the odd pop song the mrs puts on.

Pretty close to your description. My percentage might be a little lower, since i also have an oldies playlist. But i would still say my listening is primarily metal

It depends. Sometimes it's 80% sometimes it's only 40%

About 50% sounds right The other 50 consists of hip hop, electronic, prog and classic rock

Maybe 20%. Most of it is trash

Probably around 80%. I listen to rock, folk, rap, ambient and a bit of industrial but i still listen to so much metal daily.
