As for Red Hot Chili Peppers, That was another band I used to enjoy in the past a long time ago. These days, I see them as a really lame funk rock band thats not entertaining in anyway. It's just full of unbearable douchebags.
Mudvayne, Machine Head, Chimaira, Cradle of Filth, American Head Charge, God Forbid,
When I was younger I loved heavy music a lot more, and would frequently sample all styles of metal across the spectrum. Those bands just never stuck with me and I haven't listened to some of their songs for years on end. I also don't listen to anywhere near as much black/death metal as I did in my early twenties. I tend to just stick to the bands I loved from that era

To be fair, there’s plenty of black/death/thrash metal (aka real metal) bands that I absolutely can’t stand nowadays. I find some of those bands to be worst the the whole “nu-metal” shtick and actually find that genre of music to be refreshing.
Burzum gets a lot of hate, but I really loved their early albums. Early Ulver was amazing, too.
People who judge a band's merits by whether they are 'cool' or not are morons.
I judge music by how it sounds, not whether the band or artist has a certain status.
But even then, all the older people I know like Floyd to varying degrees. My dad and his brother are huge Floyd fans, even though they pretended to hate them through the punk era. Same with Genesis. But they got over that stage of anti-intellectual pretension a long time ago, because they are smart and honest people.
How dare you!
honestly i wonder what drives people to hate bands they liked before when they didn't even change the taste much (i mean - they still like mostly the same genres)
i don't mean being "meh, not really my thing" or "yeah they were good bot nothing next to stuff i listen to now" but legit considering bands you liked before terrible shit, never really got that
myself, i abandoned rock mostly (listened to it when i was 12-20) and went full onto classical music, and most of the stuff I listened to when I was more into rock now pretty much bores me, but I can't say I dislike any of them, I just got bored after years
i think the thread is dislike rather than hate. Interesting you have abandoned rock, is that because you find beats more interesting than melody and lyrics.
I also thin your taste changes as your stages of like change and as the time many bands belong to wanes. I was a little young for true punk, I didn't enter my teens till 1980. The moment for punk was short lived and caused by a variety of socio economic issues. Does that stop me enjoying it in hindsight? No, does it reduce its personal relevance... sure. A lot of what we liked becomes Nostalgia, who we were with, what we were doing and that in itself is viewed through a distorting lens.

yeah i mean the posts that say "now i think they're utter shity garbage" not just "don't really like them now"
and well classical music just feels insanely more emotional, way more raw emotions for me, has more beauty for me, is far broader, rock feels insanely simple compared to the scale of old symphonies
