Is "heavy metal, like" designed as a platform for singers who aren't exactly..."good"?

There are over 80 different sub-genres of Metal.

Despite this being a massive insult to metal fans, i understand the power of ignorance is not to be under-estimated. 

 

Educate yourself on a topic instead of stealth-trolling the fanbase behind it. 

 

Linkin park and radiohead is not metal, it's rock....

 

I don't need to prove shit to people who doesn't even do their own research before asking others to do it for them. Metal is doing fine without you

The exact kind of hollow reply that is worth no more than "LOL U RONG!" 

How about you explain why OP is "wrong" instead of claiming he is as if it's some innate fact. Having listend to countless different genres, metal rarely has talented singers. No matter what people want to claim, screaming takes far less talent than skillful singing. 

Do you honestly believe he would care at all of what i would say? I could dedicate hour's into explaining it in detail, providing good sources but in the end, he will just scroll by. I have been into music as  a hobby for over 15 years, i know when i will waste my time, but responding to several persons so far, seem to have wasted it anyway. 

I give you one: Dream theater. That band is pretty much the answer at everything, the entire group is basically out of this world when it comes to talent and they basically work on a new album every year and they have 20 min long songs, they have mainstream hits and they got a very loyal fanbase, which means this band have basically hit the gold mine. A lot of musicians hits popularity with the wrong crowd, that is the hitster's, which basically only care about your hit song for a certain short duration, when that group moves on, your band is heading for a cliff, Dream theater doesn't rely on that crowd, they have fans who are musician at heart themselves.
