Metal has its own culture, so getting the majority of general people to judge it is completely pointless. 80% (or so) of my peers listen to Justin Bieber, One Direction and Nicki Minaj, and couldn't define metal if they had a gun pointed at their head (I'm struggling at it, too). The majority of headbangers will say that heavy-, power- and whatever-metal is music sent by angels, and that nu metal and metalcore is utter crap.

Say you have $100. A small cheeseburger at McDonald's costs $2, but a premium steak at the restaurant right next to it costs $100, and there is a queue. What do you choose? Do you choose low-quality mass-produced junk food just because it's easy, cheap and everyone else does it, or the less "accessible" and expensive, but still tasty steak approved by people who know their stuff?

Decide for yourself what you think the burger is. And by the way, I think most people, of most ages, can admit to enjoying burgers on occasion.
