There is a sht load of punk that's crap as well. The problem with metal is the more borabastic banRAB whose lyrics are seemingly written by 14 year olRAB, and the ridiculous spandex crap that a lot of banRAB wore give a false representaion of the genre. There are a lot of great metal banRAB out there, who are influential and talented. Saying metal sucks is a bad generalisation and is narrow minded to boot. I don't like country, but I have contributed to the country forum expressing my view that it's as valid as any other form of music. You hate metal? Fair enough, but it does'nt suck.
