Back in college the feminists always tried shaming the metalheads. Even the feminist beta orbiters admitted that metal was "cool" unless they were blindly militant. We didn't care about politics or their gender classes, we liked the sounds we heard - end of story.
We naturally felt a stronger pull to Norse myth, motorcycles, leather, electronics and crazy solos than veganism, bell hooks and that same fucking D major chord. No one cared about anyone's color or orientation. We were drunk kids from all walks of life brought together by our love of music, not politics.
Apparently for them metal was immature and hateful and music should be 'all about the message' (translation: feminist lyrics with stripped down, anemic music). We were actually open minded in the beginning and went to a few of their concerts. My friends and I looked at each other like we were about to fall asleep. Contrast to the SJWs-in-making who never took an honest effort to appreciate metal. At best they would stand around outside a show, feigning cool while gossiping about nonsense.
For much of metal the message is auditory, not verbal (though lyrics can be inspirational). The aesthetic, the theatrics, and attitude is all secondary to the music. It's not punk where it's a political statement, it's an inner journey. We listen to it as we want. Where's the justice in telling people they're not allowed to feel good listening to something they like? Nothing but mind control is what they want.
Funny enough the feminist punk girls liked to make the rounds with hardcore drug abusers, dealers and ex-cons. Think classic Tuth inspired tattooed, pierced, short hair, openly mocking anyone not in their personal clique or who might be "normal".
Saw one of them a few years back dressed normal and dating some banker, poor guy. Some slept with teachers for favors, others would cause drama and get exiled from their social circles for being insufferable cunts.
Also hipsters have been infesting metal music for years, stripping away the manhood and ballsy riffs for meandering garbage with pseudo-intellectual drivel. You could feel a lack of testosterone in those guys.
Case in point: hipster black metal (warning: you may be tempted to punch your screen.) Note the bandmate crossing his legs away at 3:00

Lyric Sheet
Metal has always been a genre for men who are not afraid to be men. Not everyone can write metal. There's no "formula", rather a surge of personality and energy. It can be simple or complex. Done right, it's a mix of logic, emotion, creativity and economics, something I doubt SJWs can bring together skillfully, hence their relegation to journalism.
I met a very attractive off-the-boat Slavic girl a few years back who loved extreme metal. She was feminine, bubbly and wore skirts and 6" heels everywhere. Last I saw she was exposed to hipsterville as she let herself go and developed a rotten attitude. Coincidence?
There are heavy metal fans from all around the world in all shapes and forms. South America has a huge scene with big festivals every year. In my travels around Europe I've seen a range from the stereotypical tatted up militant to French schoolgirls, Scandinavian businessmen and cab drivers speeding through at 3AM blasting their speakers. The minute you and an aggressive looking Slavic guy start talking about music and heavy metal comes up, call out the next day because revelry is to be had all around.
What brings all these disparate kinds of people together is their love of a music driven by a fundamental will to not be sucked into society's mediocrity. SJWs want to infiltrate metal to tame the beast from within and shackle them to mediocrity.
In a way, metal is antifragile because there is no "community". There is no "base" to strike at because metal fans come from everywhere and anywhere. You can attack the stereotypes but the cells will still exist. It's music, it doesn't need a base. It exists in your mind. They've been barring bands from entering the US or from playing in venues around the world for years but the music itself lives on.
What SJWs seek to accomplish is systemized brainwashing. They don't just want you to look, vote and talk like them, now you must feel like them. Deep down into your psyche, you must truly believe their perception of the world. All in the name of justice.
The only political agenda comes between the choice of freedom and control. The SJW's want self-censorship, and mind control. Their "anti-fa" methods are a backdoor to authoritarianism. If they were to succeed, the shape of the music would change because it will become engineered to fit an unnatural mold based on theoretical nonsense.
All this because their feelings are hurt.
Zappa said it best in 1977 to a Toronto newspaper:
“Most rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read.”
My anthem pick, long though the atmosphere and lyrics hit home:
