I'd agree with that, I'd say black metal is the ultimate form of dark expression in music. I don't listen to that much BM but it has produced some really great bands like Burzum, who have really elevated black metal into an art form, and Darkthrone among others.

I wouldn't say it's the most hated, I think emo and pop-punk get a far worse rap. But the media and true kvlt wankers are responsible for giving black metal a bit of a bad reputation. It's a shame really as some black metal can be rewarding to listen to for anyone.
