This one goes to 11.
It's good but way too short. I especially like the doomy riff at the beginning.
I'm used to that sort of punk being shorter, although there's bands that are more progressive and play way longer arrangements.
That said, I love songs that are under a minute long, whether it's skatepunk or grindcore or skramz or thrashcore.

To the best of my grasp on this or anything like it - if you're the type of person who feels like a diet of pop music is like being force-fed baby food as an adult, or especially as a musically precocious teen or preteen, then you'll typically gravitate to whatever feels like it has more going on, and at least for people in my generation who were doing that search in the late 80's and early 90's as kids it would have in many cases been metal. It's just what was there and interesting.

I like a variety of music & what I'm really into at the time is very dependent on my mood. I go through phases where I'm really into one music genre for a while & then it changes to a different one for a while. I do like some hard rock but I'm not usually into the very heavy metal stuff though I do like some. I'm currently going through a misanthropic phase & I'm extremely disappointed, frustrated, & angry with humanity nowadays; watch &/or read the news to know why. The music that fits this phase the best is old-skewl punk stuff like The Ramones, Social Distortion, & Bad Religion. I found an online station called Kaotic Radio that plays a lot of that stuff as well as newer more underground bands. Unfortunately I have to leave their webpage up to listen cuz I cant find an app or anything & some songs are played quite alot. http://kaoticradio.com/
I'll list the other music genres I tend to like
Pop Punk
Pop Rock
EMO
Ska
Grunge
Alternative Rock
Glam Rock
Classic Rock
Pop Top 40
Bubblegum Pop
90s
80s
70s
Disco
Country
Comedy
Celtic

Well idk about all aspies, but I certainly gravitate towards metal....I don't know of any other sort off music that has so much variety. As much as I like metal I still listen to lots of other kinds of music and nothing is so satisfying to me as metal. But I also like all kinds of metal like I like some death metal, I like some black metal, I like some power metal, I like some bands that combine more than one style a little bit.
Mostly I love music and cannot stick to just metal, but at the same time more often than not metal is the most satisfying music. I just listened to the most recent Helloween album, they are more power metal but that most recent album had kind of the feel of like old-school heavy metal and I really liked that.
Still though I do venture out from metal, for sure I even like disco music, because it is happy and fun sounding even if they used various music tech outside of just traditional instruments to create it. But I also like some electronic and industrial music which also does that kind of thing. I mean I guess at the end of the day I don't care which instrument or tech was used just if the song sounds good to me. Who is to say what you can use to create music...? If it's music and I like it I'll listen regardless if it was all organic singing and instrumentals or using music machines and tech to create some of the sounds.

Maybe some aspies are magnetic. I blame the vaccines.

Oh yeah that is an issue online for sure....but that is why like I would say I still very much like metal, but I don't like the gatekeeping for sure like why shouldn't hair metal or power metal be considered 'real' metal. I mean for sure I liked the most recent Helloween album because it seemed to have an element of older just heavy metal style and well even a bit of hair metal sound. I personally don't see why that wouldn't be 'real' metal, like it sounded awesome. Like they somehow mixed Judas priest's kind of sound into power metal and well I was satisfied. Anyways though metal elitists suck... there is so much good music out there metal or not, but some people just feel they gotta be the authority on the topic. But I think you should listen to whatever you want if it's metal or not, if you enjoy it that is the important thing.

I think comedy music & nerdcore would be would be the music genres with the highest percent of their fans being autistic. However those are kinda underground unpopular music genres so the majority of autistics would be into other genres due to the other genres being much more popular in general.
