What is often forgotten is that metal is music…and nothing more. It's meant to be entertaining and a form of art in its own right. The negative stereotypes may be a driving force for why metal is not popular stateside, particularly in the south.

Metal and satanism are often tied and that is so sad to see things like that nowadays
