However, I do know that individual fans cannot be representative of an entire fan base. You encountered the worst kind of metal fans -- the ones that listen to metal in an attempt to be different and to face issues that they are too mentally weak to fix in a healthy way. They treat metal like a cult, where they can share their suffering because the world won't accept them. It's pathetic. For those of us that enjoy the artistic value and the drive that metal offers, it saddens me to see this common image (in the same way that I hate obnoxious atheists that give us other atheists a bad rep). I will let you listen to as much nu metal as you want. I'm sure you are a good guy, but please don't let one experience close the gateway to a genre that has much more to offer than Durst.
