I have all of Tool's album. The first band that made me change my view on music. Schism is my all time favourite song. And Parabola is the first song I heard from them -- felt in love with them ever since.
I already have a hit-list. Mandragora Scream, Epica, Leaves Eyes, Xandria, Withen Temptation, Lacuna Coil, After Forever. <- Know any one of them? Emilie Autumn, maybe.
I will accept Darkwave, something like Cruxshadow or L'Ame Imortelle.
Actually Aggrotech(Hellektro, Harsh/Terror EBM) is considered the Happy subversion of Industrial music.
Happy, but dark, dance music.

Check my Noise thread in the Music section for rather disturbing, though not scary, music.
It's unoriginal, the topics are cliched, the music is repetitive and redundant and never experimental. It's too happy and cherry - life is not happy and cherry. And many other reasons.
Power metal. I have only three records. One by Ayreon, one by Kamelot and the other Sirenia. They are not pure Power(except for Kamelot) Metal, but their genre is a cross-over between Death, Power, Gothic and Symphonic metal.
You have been praised. Celtic Folk music is way better than teenybopper electro-pop music(is it even music?). I despise teenybopper electro-rock-pop. I hate it with all my heart, I can make articles over articles and state the obvious reasons as to why I hate them.
Here is an experiment: use the Black Stealth theme. Go to my profile, and play my music. And just gaze at my profile layout. After doing all that, tell me what you feel.
