A genre of music, that's all. It's not a culture or anything it's just a type of music.

A form of music which has been taking a real battering for years now.
The main problem is, because of magazines and the APPALLING "Metal" sections in CD shops the first bands which pop into your average persons head when they thnk of metal actually AREN'T metal. This is made even worse by teenagers running around with poppy albums (i.e System of a downs latest two) and calling themselves metalheads, kids who would probably cry and cower after hearing a few minutes of Exhorders 'Slaughter in the Vatican'
I can think of 100's of bands misthought of as metal, from the false inclusion of hard rock legends like G n R as metal, right upto this new "Metalcore" fad, which is, when you step back, as close to metal as Britney Spears. And the problem is newcomers to the genre are put off by this crap which is pretending to be metal.
NOW, actual metal is propped up by a relatively tiny and extremely dedicated fanbase, with help from more casual listeners who may latch onto one of the sub-genres, such as Doom Metal. These people may not stand out as metalheads at all, but are infinitely more attuned to metal than the kid with the Trivium T-shirt, who goes on about how "metal" he is.
Commonly mistaken for metal:
- All Metalcore bands (granted there's some quite good stuff in there if you look beyong inane rubbish like BFMV, but it just isn't metal)
- Nu-Metal
- Hard rock bands: i.e Guns n Roses - Again, some good bands in there, but not metal.
- Glam metal, like Nu I reckon they only chose the name "metal" as it sounds better than "glam rock". Pretty much no connection whatsoever to actual metal.
Best of REAL metal (in my opinion):
Summoning, Artillery, Intruder, Testament, Wolfchant, Emperor, Fjoergyn, Death, Savatage, Coroner, Gamma Ray

A form of rock that is often misunderstood(kinda like rap) as only for angry, moody teenagers, when in reality it is a wide assortments of types from light to Brutal and any variable in between. Often with fast guitar parts and driving bass and drums. Doesn't have to have screaming.
Black Sabbath= Granddaddy of metal

Awesome to the extreme - usually referring to something slightly morbid
Person 1- "the French used to chop hundreds of people's heads off daily"
Person 2- "that's fucking metal"
The first digital wallet with cash back and a built-in crypto quick buy & sell feature. It's kind like Venmo where you can send and receive money among friends, BUT much better, because when you pay your friend for that beer, you both get cash back on that transaction.
Yo, can you get a boba for me? I'll metal you.
Why you still using Venmo?? Dude, you gotta switch to Metal so we can both get paid.
the greatest fucking thing that ever happened to this earth.
metal is tha shit. of you dont like it you might as well be killed.

The best musical genre in the world. People think it's just a bunch of screaming and satanic lyrics, but they fail to see the true meaning behind metal. Not all of it is screaming, there is melodic metal too. And not all of it is Satanic either, there is Pagan, Viking, Folk, Death, Thrash, Glam, even Christian, and many other genres. Not just satanic metal. Also, some bands CALL themselves metal, when in fact they are just wannabe posers.
Metal: Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, Cannibal Corpse, Lamb of God, Kataklysm, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Amon Amarth, Behemoth, Exodus.
Wannabe poser shit:
Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and Slipknot.
