    Okay, so I need to know what your opinion of "Techno" is.
    I, for one, am not really a fan. I listen to basically every style of metal possible, along with Jazz, 50's to 60's music (like heard in Fallout 3/ New Vegas, Bioshock/2) and some electronica music (pretty much just Breathe Carolina).
    Now, I do listen to Attack Attack! and Abandon All Ships (Link) but I seriously can't really get into Techno. I tried.

    What're your opinions? I'd like to know. Because some of my metal friends like techno and "gangsta (c)rap" and I can't understand why.


    I have found "Deathstep" which is almost decent...and "Drumcorps" which is also kinda decent.

    Some of my fave stuff (Just to compare tastes) are:
    Link
    Link
    Link
    Link
    Link
    Link
    Link (My friend plays in this band)
    Link
    Link
    Link

    Not all of these are "Metal" but I'm showcasing my interests. I enjoy metalcore/mathcore/deathcore/technical death metal/death metal/hard rock/thrash metal/hardcore/post-hardcore/jazz/etc.

    ..So as long ago stated; I want your opinions. (Also, any metal or similar to the stuff I have listed that I may not have heard of, I love expanding my library)

    Would you like me to post my library?
    It consists of a wide range of metal and metal subgenres, as well as dubstep and hau5 music.

    Keep your eyes in the clouds, your feet on the ground, and dance to the drums of your own song.

    What I am a fan of is Death Metal, Blackened Death Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Black Metal, Industrial Metal, Thrash Metal, Progressive Metal, Celtic Folk Metal, etc...So I guess I am pretty much one of the pure metalheads out there.

    I used to like Trance/Techno some time ago, but now I can't care less. I just don't hate it as of now. But I do like Daft Punk.

    If you wan't more recommendations when Metal is concerned, I am your man!

    Life is best for those who enjoy it, difficult for those who analyze it and worst for those who criticize it.

    I don't know if you would consider this "old school" or not but...
    I used to listen to the crystal method.

    They were pretty good back in the day,haven't heard them in a while.
    I have alot of friends who like techno,i too have tried to get into it but like you i just can't get myself to like it.

    Massive attack is another good one.

    I myself love,metal(all)thrash,punk,hard/classic rock,rockabilly,irish metal/punk,rockabilly punk/goth...

    @Yosup sounds great. I'd love to see your library. I'll post mine after when I get back on the computer (I think I'm at 550-600 artists..).

    @HonestGamer all very good genres, I would love recommendations.

    Try Blue Stahli there a mix between of quite a few genres like tecno trance and nu metal.

    Personally I can't stand techno unless I'm too drunk to care. It's a lot better than that drum n bass/dubstep that's the rage these days mind you.
