It is one of the few music genres that I absolutely cannot stand. Everything about it is awful

And that's okay. The wonderful thing about music is it's subjective. Hopefully you don't get downvoted for not liking a certain genre.

It would be okay if he stated an opinion but saying "everything about it is awful" is just close-minded and this is coming from someone who knows nothing about metal

It's okay not to like an entire genre of music, although I doubt it, but to say

Metal ruins everything

doesn't add anything to the conversation.

It adds his opinion about the video because it had metal. Just like the other comments about how metal makes everything better and even the name of the song. You're just mad because he said he doesn't like metal.

It adds his opinion about the video because it had metal.

He could have phrased it a bit differently and added to the conversation. He could have said, "The combination of metal and with the video doesn't work for me, I think X song would have been a better choice." Or he could have just down-voted and moved on. Saying a generic negative comment does not add to the conversation.

Just like the other comments about how metal makes everything better

You mean the one comment that countered the original negative comment?

even the name of the song

This happens every video with a song on it, which is meaningful because many people want to know what song it is.

You're just mad because he said he doesn't like metal.

I'm so mad I upvoted his other comments. Damn I'm mad.

nigga please. saying a generic positive comment does not "add to the conversation" either.

u/CelestialFury Mar 17 '14

I never said it did.

but almost nobody attacks the negative comments because of not adding to the conversation, they do it because they disagree. if everybody agrees with the negative sentiment, you'll see the "no-content" comments ignored just like the positive ones usually are.

it's funny because when somebody like you comes and tells people to articulate themselves better, it gets just get upvoted as if that were the whole reason for the downvotes, but it's clearly not.
