This may not be an unpopular in the outside world but somehow I bet it will be here, the vast majority of metal is just straight noise and incomprehensible yelling to me. I do enjoy when metal songs are covered by bluegrass bands though
I don’t agree with “most” or you’re using a too narrow definition of Metal…
But I agree that the stuff you don’t like sounds like noise and incomprehensible yelling to me too, which is what I need to hear sometimes. Feels cathartic to have a wall of sound crash over you as you yell your guts out on the highway. Much better way to handle rage than taking it out on family members or service workers.
I debated adding subgenre to it but since it was an unpopular opinion I decided to go for broke. I know there’s a lot of variance, and don’t really hate on metal fans at all. Though I do stand by my point, at least for me
I prefer hip hop and country myself, and my experience tells me it’s not uncommon for metal heads and punk fans to say similar things about those genres even though the stylistic differences between say dirty southern rap and the west coast game are super obvious to me
It’s all just preference and personality
Edit: also I’m glad it gives you what you need from music! I don’t get it but I don’t need to

Ooh! Another genre mix-up fan!
Bluegrass, lo-fi, and orchestral covers of popular music are 90% of my Spotify history at work.
