I can see what you mean about the metal genre, but I've only heard people frowning upon Black Sabbath who don't like any form of rock music in general or are hipster douches without bags. Sabbath and its musicians are quite well regarded, although it may not be to the same extent as Led Zeppelin is, 'tis still respect for the group.
