It's cool because it's loud and fast. I think.

Shows what you know, nerd. All my favourite guitar solos are slow and basic.

Metal is a super huge genre so what you're saying doesn't really make sense.

To compare with video games this is like saying RPGs are overrated.

So do metal bands that Pitchfork loves (I'm looking at you, Deaf Heaven)

There's some metal I like, like some Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath, but 85% of metal music just sounds like someone firing a machine gun at a trash can.

This is another weird thing here.

You can definitely "scream in tune" and there are bad grunts and good grunts.

as someone who mostly likes rap and r&b, I like some of the metal that I've heard.

I obviously don't have a refined ear in relation to the genre, since I rarely listen to it, but something about the energy, guitars, and other factors sometimes resonate with me.

It's not weird.

I'm talking about shit like Cannibal Corpse. There is no "in tune" screaming there

There's many sub genres. Some truly do suck some are awesome. I prefer what I think is called power metal. Iron maiden nightwish.

Hell I'm just a sucker for metal with female vocalists in general.

Not a fan of metal, but I got dragged to a Sevendust concert it was pretty fun.

Oddly enough 2/3 people I went with are dead now.

To each their own, if you don't like it that's okay. There's music out there to suit everyone's tastes.

I bet if you all listened go Helloween or Blind Guardian youd change your mind. But I listen to Black/Death Metal so I cant attest to your opinions.

But at least it's not Polka.

Metal feels wrong quiet. Like I typically ain't trying to blow my eardrums but metal just needs to be loud

A lot of metal is great, but the online gatekeeping fandom is embarrassing. And between the message board boomer fans that are stuck in 1992, the reluctance to classify any heavy music post-Korn under the metal umbrella, and the boomer media outlets that report on anything that Gen X Boomer Corey Taylor is railing against, it's a whole pile of embarrassment.

You can definitely get quiet metal in the more melodic genres
