top 20 "metal" acts on Spotify (Alice In Chains is considered "rock", they should be above Megadeth)

Metallica had spent more decades playing country than metal at this point. 5 finger death punch gets played on repeat at gay anal fisting parties.

there are about ten metal bands on that list.

I counted exactly seven: Metallica, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Sabaton, Pantera and Megadeth

The rest are either Metalcore, Hard Alternative or Nu-Metal

>Metalcore
aka metal
>Hard Alternative
Not a real genre
>Nu-Metal
aka metal

Some Metalcore bands are but others aren't.

Alternative "Metal" is even more dubious hence why Hard Alternative is a better descriptor. Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Infectious Grooves, Faith No More and Mordred are Metal whereas Primus, Deftones, Tool, System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine and Rammstein are NOT Metal

Nu-Metal is false.

bring me the horizon has always kinda been at the forefront of the scene, they were one of the early deathcore bands, they influenced the 2010s metalcore sound with the sempiternal album, they kinda kicked off the whole nu-metal revival thing, and the pop/metal fusion stuff.
