To say metal isn't a musical genre is a very narrow-minded statement. It's basically denying the existence of bands such as Dillinger Escape Plan, Between the Buried and Me, Embrace the End, Darkest Hour, etc. I'll give boo_boo the support when he says a lot of metal bands (and metal fans) just suck. It's mostly due to the whole purist ideals and their inability to adapt and experiment within the genre. Avenged Sevenfold is not a good band, or a great band, or an amazing band. They are generic, and on the weaker end of the spectrum if I must say so myself.
