Are metal heads just hipsters in black?

a. I never said that all metal is good...not sure where you got that from. In fact, I only really like a few bands that would be classified as metal (although the term metal is weirdly broad). I am praising the specific musicians that get it right, and saying that those musicians who make music for pop radio are almost never the same as those who get it right. 

I also never said the word "quality"...I said "qualities", which would be synonymous with "traits". I wouldn't really call that subjective. 

b. I don't have a link. Its just theres been a few times where someone on here has posted a thread like "Listen to this Taylor Swift song!" and I've gone in and said "here is a bunch of reasons why this song is garbage."

c. "the elitism... the superiority complex... the way they're "non-conformist", yet still similar to each other in clothes and behavior (i. e. conforming)... the close-mindedness and their adamance in denying it... their insecurity..."

Heres a piece of your OP...you may not have said "selfish" in so many words, but that is undeniably insulting

a) But you did say (or at least imply) all pop is bad? My point is all genres have good and bad songs.

But which traits you consider important and which are unimprotant is subjective.

b) Then you should have a link But that's okay.

c) I already conceded that ut was a touch insluting. How do you talk about negative things about a person on group without insulting them? If I sugarcoated it, some people wouldn't get what I meant.
