Slipknot is not metal, and you can deduce this very easily from the clues left within the lore of the band.
First of all, their name was originally Slopknot, indicating the quality of their music. The present name is the result of a typo during the logo design phase. We all know metal is, on average, the highest quality music, and cannot possibly be slop under any circumstances.
Second of all, their vocalist is literally named CORE-y Taylor, indicating that their genre is indeed some -core subgenre. Furthermore, the surname Taylor is revealing, because the letter T is literally just the cyrillic letter Г, but mirrored. For those of you who don't know, the letter Г in latin script is G, meaning effectively that their frontman has the words core and gay in his name, which is significant because core musicians and fans are severely homosexual, and so are Slipknot fans. The evidence is all there.
Also worth mentioning is the fact that their other most famous member, Jo(e)y Jordison has his name derived from the word joy, and joy is not metal. Metal is serious business, unlike joy, or Slopknot themselves.
My final evidence of their immense and overwhelming homosexuality and non-metalicity is also the fact that their biggest fan is our very own Negro Boda, who is of Roma heritage. I have never in my life seen a Roma person listen to metal, therefore if he listens to them, they are not, and cannot ever be, metal. Add to that his raging homosexuality, for which he overcompensates by playing the part of a homophobe, and you start to see all the pieces fall in place.
The fact is, anons, the truth has been right here, right in front of you, this entire time. You were just too blind to see it. Hopefully you know better now.
