Us metalheads can be a finicky breed. Be it frothing at the mouth over whether something should really be considered 'metal' or not in comment sections, or having elaborate discussions over the quality of new releases, it's fair to say we're an impassioned bunch: what can we say, we like having opinions!
A good example of this critical zealousness features on a Reddit Hardcore forum, where fans list the bands they avoided listening to purely based off of a dislike for their names. The message board question poses: "What band did you procrastinate listening to because you were turned off by their name? Were you pleasantly surprised when you gave them a chance? Which bands lived up to their (crappy) name?".
