What's your least favorite subgenre of metal? Note that this does not include trashy genres like nu metal and screamo :P.

Also, sorry I had to combine some subgenres for the purpose of the poll, which I know might kind of mess up the results. Also, apologies if your choice isn't reflected in the poll.

Anyway, for me it's probably black metal (along with death metal). Although I like Amon Amarth's Twilight of the Thunder God (death metal), I simply haven't found myself able to enjoy anything else in those two subgenres.

Black metal (or at least the stuff I've heard from it so far). I just don't like it, and it's what kept me away from metal for a long time.

Power metal, maybe? It tends to have very fast drums.

Black/death metal. Cool drumming, but otherwise incredibly tedious and uninspiring. Power metal, however, is my favourite. :D

Meh. You have to concentrate on the lyrics to get much out of them but the sound isn't pleasant and thus I don't want to have to work at it.

It's not the most accessible. It's like Scotch Whisky...you have to get used to it to get anything out of it. Much easier music for accessibility out there. How can you say metal is more accessible than pop.:?

Most people who dislike black metal have never given it a chance and hasn't actually fully listened to what a metal head would call an excellent song.
