I dont know if this has happened to you.. but it has happened to me... sometimes, when I tell someone (mostly girls) that I listen metal they look me with one of these faces...

many people are full of preconceptions.. when I talk about metal or Iron Maiden they think inmediatly in satanism and screams... maybe its becasue people think that black or death metal are the only metal... becasue they only know those kinds of metal...
That's why today, in my class literary generes of colombia, in an improvisation excersice, I talked about metal....
When I said "im going to talk about metal" I saw a pair of those faces in the people in the classroom and a kind of pff sound... In my school... everyone has that preconceprion about metal... so thats why I said something like that in the excersise :
"This is an unknown and misunderstood genere of music. Many people think that metal is just the 'new metal' (dark, black, which are nonsense screams and satanic)... which in most part is a 'shit' (I didnt said that.. I just dont know how to traduce 'porqueria'). The metal that I listen to, which is the real metal, isnt at all as everybody thinks. On the contrary, that metal has much more profuond lyrics and musical technique than any pop or reagaeton or kind of music you hear... (and here I supported my thesis with maiden songs: history songs such as aces high, tailgunner, alexander the great, montsegur; the rime of the ancient mariner which is about a classical epic poem; the flight of icarus, about a greek myth; hallowed by thy name and powerslave, which treat with existencial issues; songs that talk about injustice such as run to the hills and montsegur;wasted years, a song about saving and using life wisely; songs about the bad face of power and greediness, for which good exapmles are be quick or be dead and 2 minutes to midnight; and finally talked about books being basis to some maiden songs). That is why I say that metal has much more profound and complex lyrics and themes than any other music genere... and MUCH more than pop... or how would you argue me that a superficial song about 'love' is more profound than any of the songs I said before?"
Please discuss and complement.. thankyou
PS Sorry if my comments about black and death metal differ with someone's thoughts
