It's really strange...metal as a whole is the most diverse genre there is, there is an abyssal difference between Sabbath's Paranoid and Morbid angel, and how some don't get it it's beyond me...from an objective point of view, Metal music can't be defined unoriginal, simply because "Metal" is such a generic categorization, not to mention the technical aspect of the problem...However...if someone considers all metal listeners just a bunch of angry teenagers rejected by society, he is completely wrong, if i have the right palate to taste good death metal, it doesn't necessarily mean i can't fully appreciate other genres, many "metalheads" can't, that's true...but they are those who listen to CC or Korn only...I know many people who listen to far more "innocent" and less debated genres, claim to be music lovers, but are absolutely ignorant and close minded... there's a greater chance someone who is seriously into serious death metal ( excuse me for the intentional repetition ) will have a deeper knowledge in music than a casual Madonna listener...
