Top tip for everyone who can’t pierce the wall of noise metal seems to throw at the listener: Most people are really hardwired to listen to the vocals and take the rest as “background”. Try to get away from this. Most Metal bands treat their vocals as another instrument among many, so they are weirdly embedded into the band which clashes with most other genres. To ignore the vocals a bit more: Try to listen to the drums. When you managed that (takes just a few seconds usually), try the lead guitar (or the rhythm if you’re feeling groovy). I won’t claim that you’ll suddenly have an epiphany and love metal (or that you even should strive to love metal if you don’t want to, tastes exist for a reason!), yet you might be able to finally get why people like this noise that insulted your ears for so long ;)
Why are people confusing Disturbed with Korn? At least make some joke about this sillyness
Yeah, the amount of likes on jokes referencing Disturbed is really grinding my gears. They don’t even sound that close (by Nu Metal standards that is)
Because they are posers and dweebs and obviously lack jncos

They’ve got an even more extreme example:

Only slightly relevant, but you inspired me to dig out this amazing Korn/Taylor Swift mashup. They elevate each other.
That’s probably what the newborn sounded like for the nurses to assign that name.
Maybe because they both featured a weird growling-rant vocalization? I don’t know, both were nails on chalkboard to me but easily distinguished
