Most metal bands sound the exact same. Godsmack, Breaking Benjamin and Soil are fine examples.
I mostly listen to bands that's vocalist is unique in their performance, the lyrics are deep and of course, the gootarz.

That's all well and good, but most metal fans don't differentiate. Sure, they have their own individual tastes, some like it fast, some loud, some brutal, but in the end they are merely "metal" fans. They become so caught up in the genre that they miss all of this beautiful, important music that is being made elsewhere. Plus, there is so little music that comes from the metal community that is of any value, that I find it strange that otherwise intelligent people can't see it for what it is, and break away.
I assume that it has something to do with "belonging" to something, to "being about something". But is it worth belonging to? I'm sorry. It really isn't.
