Metal ≠ music.
It's the only genre of modern music which incorporates classical, romance and baroque elements. It's the only real form of music left.

Both Aristotle and Kant would be jealous.
But really - I meant that. Metal is heavily rooted in classical music theory and training.
Here's some proof if you need it. This song exhibits a sort of baroque arrangement with an application of late-romantic structure. Additionally, the technical complexity requires a great deal of classical and post-classical training.
