I guess I would be closest to "the prog purist", though I love power metal, and other subgenres too, so I could also be in the "it's all metal" category.
This list seems to be incomplete, there are other metal fan archetypes

Classic / Dad
Especially 'metal died after 1991'.

Isn't that just the "default" rhythm for most music?

My cutoff is anything before the Black Album. So they've pretty much got me nailed- Classic Metal Purist. Though I do like modern Stoner and Desert Rock.

Dude, volume 4 is a masterpiece, with the exception of FX, which is just Iommi stoned out his mind and fucking with his pedalboard. There's a really good rehash of it done by several artists calls Volume 4 Redux.
The New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal is outstanding. Bands like Haunt (Eric Church), Night Demon, witchcraft and Green Lung are all amazing, have solid sized libraries and are great starting points into other stuff
There are also really cool metal bands out there like Panopticon - he combines black metal and bluegrass with strongly anticapitalistic lyrics.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Dude, as someone who moved on from metal after the Black Album (completely pigeonholed classic purist), I'm so amazed you have turned me on to 4 bands all of which I really like on first listen. Thank you so much for giving metal a new lease on life for me! I didn't know anyone was making really good thrashy stuff like this any more.

The classic is just a subgenre of dad.
I think that Dad is the casual version of Classic.

I'm "it's all metal" but in all genres. I just enjoy listening to whatever track that sparks joy (you definitely wouldn't like me DJing on your party, lol)

Listening to Tool right now, love 'Maiden but enjoy pre Bruce as much as the rest... NIN, Anthrax, Sick of it All, Type O Negative, Paradise Lost, Sepultura...must be some kinda metal chameleon circa 90s-00s!
