NOT a genre because it has only ONE band in it! A shitty band at that! HIM is awful enough as they are and dont deserve their own genre. Its simply a name for a poser goth/emo bad. Oh and the "heartagram" FUCK YOU the pentagram repreasents satan (or man from a biblical point of view) and the heartagram repreasents nothing but a desperate attempt to kill metal. Love-metal does not deserve to be a genre.
HIM fan: Hey do you like metal
Metalhead: ya
HIM fan: Do you like love metal?

Get the love metal mug.
Love & metal cannot be combined as the two words contradict each other. When a band like H.I.M. comes along, it is easy for them to get caught up in their fame that they begin to believe they are a new messiah in the music industry by coining the term "love metal". If a mainstream band such as H.I.M. wants recognition, create something that we haven't heard before, not music that sounds like all the other "Oh my good my girlfriend dumped me" crap.

Add one quarter metal and a hole barrels worth of shitty, weepy, faggot crap and get a reeking sess pool of a main stream genocide of a a genre namely metal.
Those cunts you hate but don't know anything about.

Boy 1: "Those metal heads are wreaking our slam dancing with their 'moshing'!"
Boy 2: "I say we go see a HIM concert instead. It's love metal so we don't have to worry about violence."

A horrible excuse for HIM fans to spam up metal boards. Seriously, "LOVE METAL?!" what the fuck?! Thats like calling "My Chemical Romance" Love Rock! You cant get away with bullshit genres that don't even sound like the actual genre you're trying to modify!
Love Metal is a load of bullshit and anyone that thinks it's a genre has no brain.

1)Commonly mistaken as an actual musical sub-genra of Metal. In reality, it was purely the title of an album put out by Finnish Goth band HIM, and vocalist Ville Valo was concieted enough to try to claim his band as one worthy enough to create a new sub-genra of Metal.

2) Emo with distirtion.

3) Sad forshadowing of where not only our music is heading, but our youth as well.

4) Desperate attempt to sabatoge real Metal, such as Lamb of God, Chimaira, Whitechapel, and the like.

5) A terrible excuse for pathetic little emo kids to try to act hardcore.
Emo kid- "I listen to Love Metal .^_^. HIM is my fav band XD"

Metalhead- "Shut the f*ck up kid. You wouldn't know metal if it whupped your scrawny little ass."

Emo Kid- "Wanna bet?"

Metalhead- "Sure."
*Proceeds to whup some emo ass.*
