you can never join any band in any genre of music and feel bad about it. Even if it isn't the type of music you like or listen to, you have nothing to lose. If you say "fuck you" you have already lost and you won't get that much better. Plus you never did mention what you play, but I gather its the bass?

Also, you still didn't answer what you hate about those bands you listed. I haven't heard of any of them personally, and I listen to a lot of music. I am interested to see exactly what it is about these types of bands that you don't like specifically. Also, the first rule in joining a band is that if you take that person's spot and aren't trying to learn set material or songs then you automatically add your own personal flavor and thus become 1/3 or 1/4 or 1/5 or whatever portion of the band that you have joined.

As a drummer I know I have significant pull as far as sound goes depending on how I want the song to sound or feel. All band members involved have a huge pull in the art of making music but you first have to realize your place and your ambitions.
