I also agree 100% that metal is more about the music than anything else: it is a playground for musicians more than just arbitrary listeners.

for instance, you hear way more tech talk in metal, about composition, equipment, etc that are geared towards people with an attitude towards music that is far less lassez-faire.

However, does that mean that one aspect of metal, as a music, is that it is oriented on technicality? Can metal ever be simple? Does politics have a place in metal or not?

And also what are things that are specific to metal as far as culture. Yes, punk has the kickball and the parties and the picnics and stuff but what is the counterpart for metal? Do people in metal just not fratinize? and if people begin to fratenize, does it make them "less metal"?

this is all said with a nod to my better understanding of things and an intellectual discussion.
