any other major metal fans on this forum?

So what genre WOULD you call them then?

Mallcore

I understand your distaste for entry level metal, I feel the very same, but you're acting like a heavier-than-thou metal fan.
Please stop. You asked if anyone else is a metal fan, people chimed in with what they understand metal to be. It looks like you've taken this opportunity to nitpick and demean people's tastes because they differ from yours.

Why start a thread about something if you are going to just criticize those who contribute? I don't want to be enemies whatsoever, I saw you come on and figured "here's someone whom I can share common ground with", you provided that opportunity for others, I imagine you're looking for the same.

Also, don't link Saint Vitus and call it heavy metal, that's insulting to the entire doom scene, you're practically slapping wino in the face.
