Well most of these bands are probably like melodic metalcore, tech metal, death metal, 80s metal, and grunge. Furthermore a band that you think is metal might not be metal in someone else's opinion but then if they think it is metal, you can't change their mind. Metal in this time is usually with low tuned guitars, heavy bass, and double bass drums, with shrill vocals and deep growls. I couldn't agree more that original metal was not like that. But it is just like rap, back then when rap was new they wouldn't rap about doing the b words, popping champagne, busting a cap on someone, and making it rain. I ask you politely to keep your opinions to yourself please.
Thank you
