Pirate Metal 

pirate metal is a pseudogenre of heavy metal that usually deals with pirate like themesor sounds. The term pirate metal was originally coined by German Speed/Power metal band Running Wild, especially after the release of their third album "Under Jolly Roger". Some modern pirate metal bands include Alestorm, who use elements of folk and power metal in their music and Verbal Deception, who use elements of melodic death metal and folk metal.

A misunderstood type of music that can not easily be appreciated if you haven't heard much of it. It may take a long time for you to warm up to it, but as soon as you do, there's no turning back. Contrary to belief, metalheads are not stupid or angsty - that's just throwing around labels.
1. Metal music is judged too easily.
2. People's minds need to be more open.

Metal Elitist 

In short, the term is generally used to describe someone who thinks they are better than everyone else because of their taste in music. They tend to only listen to metal bands that are very obscure and will stop listening to said bands if they find out that more than 10 people listen to them, so they can be "unique". If they do happen to like a band that has become well known, (e.g Metallica) they will state that they only like their demos or first album and that everything else is crap. They usually bitch about bands like Cannibal Corpse for sounding the same on all of their records but complain just as much when a band happens to experiment or change their style on their next album (e.g Carcass, Morbid Angel.) Isn't that funny?
Metal elitists make the rest of us look bad.

He hasn’t been himself lately. I’m worried that he might be mentally deranged... I’m afraid of him. That’s what she said, you fools.

Oh, she got that mayflower mentality. Silly bitch.”
Pertaining to something that is deemed cool by listeners and followers of the metal genre. A replacement for the word "cool" by metal heads.

power metal 

Power Metal is the description for today's "true heavy metal" sound. Power Metal bands are always guitar driven, with keyboards rarely making much of an appearance. The vocals are of the clean sounding variety, and usually feature very powerful, talented vocalists who can really reach the upper ranges of the vocal spectrum.

Generally, the songs are fast paced, and employ fantasy themes including (but not limited to) dragons, gladiators, warriors, valhalla, Lord of the Rings, polished steel weapons, and generally conceptual themes that deal with very "manly" concepts, at least in a historical sense. You will rarely find songs about love, sadness, or failure.

Power Metal is very uplifting, powerful music, that appeals to people who like to get inspiration from their tunes. Catchy, epic, and generally enjoyable as hell, Power Metal is a great genre that, regrettably, far too few people know about.
Lost Horizon is the finest example of power metal in the world today.
