Sub-style of metal. Sometimes also known as "doom metal" due to its often agonizingly slow pace, crushing heaviness, and gloomy lyrics. It's generally accepted to have been invented by Black Sabbath. Some stoner metal bands are retro-oriented, some aren't. Common elements include marijuana references (obviously), sci-fi/fantasy themes, extended instrumental jams, and tempos anywhere from plodding dirges to medium-paced rock (but rarely faster). Heavy-ass guitar riffage is essential.
Notable bands include Kyuss, Sleep, Fu Manchu, Monster Magnet, Electric Wizard, Orange Goblin, etc.
Stoner metal is cool, but I don't like the retro aesthetic a lot of bands use.

Trance Metal is a mixed Genre of Melodic Death Metal and with Trance music incorporated in it. It is a "metal" genre and doesn't consist of post-hardcore/electronic bands like Enter Shikari (they have trance elements but are not "trance metal" or other "core" bands like Attack! Attack! (synthpop-core not even trance).
Trance Metal usually are heavily guitar riff influenced bands (like most melodeath bands) with little breakdowns grooves or none at all. They are heavily influenced by bands like In Flames, At The Gates, Children Of Bodom, and/or Dark Tranquillity.
"During the mid to late 2000s, certain melodic death metal bands, such as Blood Stain Child, Timecry, Silent Descent, Lost Eden, The Dawn Chose Orion, and Deadlock, began to incorporate techno or trance beats and atmospheres into their music. This relatively young style has been tentatively referred to as trance metal." - wikipedia.com

Neutered Metal is some funny dude monkey strumming two or three muddy chords with a knit cap on jumping up and down. AND NO LEAD GUITAR!...This stuff is REAL funny!
Just watch MTV. I rest my case!
An amazing type of music that is heavy at times that unfortunately gets a lot of disrespect and hate by degenerates that are into Mumble Rap.
Me: “Damn, this new Iron Maiden album slaps so hard!”
Degenerate Mumble Rap fan: “Nobody cares. This “Metal Music” sounds like total screamo, Ratio + Cope + L + Seethe + Mald”
Me: “Well why would you respond, do you even know what Metal Music even sounds like?”
Degenerate Mumble Rap fan: “Yah, it sounds like screamo”
Me: “Do you even know what Screamo is? Go listen to your shitty Mumble Rappers that start with “Lil” in their stage name that sound like they’re having a mental disorder and stroke.”
A specific style of metal music with a gloomy atmosphere and slow-tempoed instrument playing. Many consider Candlemass' "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" to be one of the first doom metal albums.
Person #1 "Let's listen to Linkin Park in your car, yo!"
Person #2 "We'll listen to Candlemass, and if you interrupt the music at any time I will be forced to stop at Guitar Center and stab you in the eye with the headstock of a Jackson soloist model."
