Heavy Metal is by far a better form of music than anything going today. Although some of today's "nu metal" bands have a bit of talent, none compare to metal gods of years past such as Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Slayer, Pantera, Metallica (as in pre 1990's Selloutica), and even Alice in Chains on Facelift. This was angry music with a purpose, not just angry for the sake of selling records.
If you want an example of good heavy metal music, listen to some Iron Maiden or Motorhead, fuck this Korn and Slipknot crybaby shit.

Get the Heavy Metalmug. A type of powerful rock music that is split into three types:
The bad. The US screaming crap that everyone judges it on. Idiot posers shouting and attacking their guitars. Sadly this rubbish is popular and gives eveyone a bad opinion of the genre. It sells itself on retarded image. eg Slipknot and System of a Down
The good stuff. Characterised by the best and most original lyrics in music, amazing guitar playing, some incredibly beautiful singing Tarja Turunen from Nightwish and some fo the most emotional songs ever Maiden's Paschendale. It is sold by the talent of all the members of the band most music is all about the singing.
The ugly. Weird stuff that isn't for everybody. Often with strange growling vocals not shouting. Eg Finntroll and the better songs of Cradle Of Filth

Get the heavy metalmug. Basically take hard rock and Mtv-i-fy it(i.e. really homosexualify it) etc.
Start with hard rock like maybe a 10 member band and strip that down to three members (drums,guitar and bass).Then after you've gotten rid of the real singer replace him with some grunting or screeching satanic homosexual.Then dress your band up like they're members of the Kiss Army.Now all you need is the most retarded lyrics ever conceived of.Then make sure that ever member of the band looks femme.Make sure to wear eye makeup,lip-stick and hoop-earrings.
Okay now you've sucked all of the soul from the music and all of the music from it and put 7 of your fellow musicians out of work.You are ready to completely sell out.
