metal strikes me as very poppy with contrived vocals

I don't think it's a coincidence that the same people with the most appreciation for metal on this forum also find themselves with the most appreciation for commercial pop music

Metal is so many things and spans the entire divide between accessible, poppy metarial and difficult, challenging music. There are so many vocal styles, not just growling, barking and other theatrical affectations.

Ja this is what we're talking about when we call you ignorant. Contrived is super subjective so your ignorant ass can have that (making any effort to make noise with your voice is contrived in itself), but thinking that metal is poppy on a large scale is absurd.

I think that it's not only a coincidence but an anomaly.
