I started getting interested in metal after getting tired of the stuff on the radio. My current taste in music is broadminded, whom am I to judge based a person character based on sounds? Since every genre of music their hardcore following and that's cool.

That's what makes metal awesome, it allows the primal energy to fly forth like a lighting screeching across the darkest clouds. What adds an extra amp of power to the metal genre is that it's so totally not mainstream. There was a youtube video where a girl was in a french singing competition. She did a dark metal tribute with her voice, and the audience started laughing. The host, who apparently paid way too much for a polo shirt snickered and made a air motion guitar. The folks in the video where such clean looking well groomed folks. My thoughts were, "Yeah, okay not person in the audience ever clogged the toilet before and puked after a night of heavy drinking..."

The point... none... but metal is awesome, man... yeah!
