False metal
False Metal is a genre of music coined by the media (in various forms) as "metal" that obviously has no true connection to pure metal, or any of the "evil" found in metals like the metal of death.
Sugar coated and sappy, polished and clean, with emphasis on pop like structures, a marketable image, and a general aura of NOT being "devil music". True metal, in it's various forms (most notably pure/power metal & death metal) has remained unscathed by the passing trends of various false metals, and will continue to thrive via integrity, devotion, passion and sincerity not found in any false metal acts!
In the 80's it was bands like Poison and Warrant; in the 90's it was Limp Bizkit, Korn, and Coal Chamber; and in the 00's, it is all of those "metalcore" and "screamo" bands.
who knows what pitiful False Metal trend is next?

The Saddest Thing about False Metal
Rap group Run-DMC actually has written lyrics that are 1000x more metal than any song by linkin park, poison, atreyu or korn, combined:
It's highly appraised when the hell is raised
So demanding and commanding that you all stand dazed
The unbelieving receiving prophecy so true
I cut the head off the Devil and I throw it at you
My mighty mic control, already brought his soul
The rock king is so bold when he rocks and roll
A black hat is my crown, symbolizin the sound
Signifyin, we won't play around; BUST IT!
--DMC, from the song "Raising Hell"
