Alestorm is a good band, I mean, come on. Genre is a huge pet peeve of mine, it's like people misusing the term "screamo" just for these shitty metalcore bands. It's annoying for me. Alright, alright... No need to make me feel stupid. I already do enough of that. :T It's not a matter of stupidity, it's more a matter of lack of education. Which, regarding music isn't totally uncommon. I'm a music nerd, I spend a lot of time doing a lot of research about bands, music, genres and all that shit. My biggest thing, like my wife used to do this when we were dating, it's like if someone informs you that you're wrong, like in the case of the screamo thing. My wife argued with me that it's ok to throw around the term "screamo" erroneously because "everybody does it". Rather, I'd prefer, if you find out you're wrong you should probably just go do the research and try to educate yourself.
