Kinda true,but older rap has much better lyrics than metal and also Black Metal and Death Metal have some of the worst lyrics ever.Alternative Metal and Power Metal have really cool lyrics though.Also Twenty One Pilots and Imagine Dragons have good lyrics but they are pop-rock for the most part.-LitSavage

Hello is about a calling a lover that abandoned them. Thank u, next is about learning to move on and grow after things that hurt you. Ronan is about a four year old who died of cancer.

I DARE you to find some rap and pop songs with creative or meaningful lyrics in them.

I have very rarely seen a rap song with lyris not about mindless edge and a pop song to which lyrics I can't commit sepukku.

I give you three of the greatest metal vocalists of all time

Ozzy Ozbourne
Bruce Dickinson
Rob Halford

4 Drums

It was a tough decision to choose just one to vote for, but I had to choose this because of two bands in particular, Slipknot (Disasterpiece, Left Behind) and my favorite drum track, Metallica St Anger

Pop uses drum beat machines, metal uses the MG 42 bass pedal and arm muscles.

Are lord said "Let there be drums." Bon Scott

Not the Rev, but Dave Lombardo

5 People In Metal Take Years to Learn Their Instruments and Write Their Own Lyrics

Can rappers shred on the guitar like Eddie Van Halen? Can rappers wail like Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden? Can rappers pound the drums like Neil Peart from Rush can? Can rappers slap the bass like Cliff Burton from Metallica can? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that there is no talent in rap. Rappers talk fast to stolen beats.

The original lineup was James Hetfield (Vocalist and Rhythm guitarist), Dave Mustaine (Lead Guitar), Lars Ulrich (Drums), Ron McGovney (Bassist). The group came into mainstream from their Self-Titled album and the hit single "Enter Sandman".

With their first two albums, Kill 'Em All and Ride The Lightning reaching underground success, their third effort, Master of Puppets has since become one of the most important heavy metal albums ever, as it became the first thrash metal album to be certified platinum.

Metallica doesn't always talk about suicide and girls and that crap they have true meaning and plus they don't use auto tune

12 More Diverse
13 More Creative
14 Rap is lifeless

Rap is honestly the worst music genre I have ever heard of. Plus lil pump doesn't even have great music. I used to listen to both metal and rap back in the good old days in 2016. But rap music has just gotten worse than ever since 2017 and 2018. So I started listening to only Metal Music. Which does make me happy every now and then

16 Metal Is Good for Exercising

I play metal during workout.

19 Metal Artists Actually Try Hard and Don’t Do It Just for the Money While Pop and Some Rap Artists Do It Just for the Money
20 Pop and Rap are Just Computerized
21 Many metal songs have a hidden meaning behind them

Often a song can convey messages through lyrics and guitar, such as the uprising of the oppressed(balls to the wall), your lack of privacy in the modern world(electric eye), the cruelty of the colonization of the Native Americans(run to the hills) a disgruntled individual that’s sick of the way the world treats him(peace sells), or something just as simple as being scared of monsters at night(enter sandman)
