>I look for sociopolitical messaging in TV/film too much to enjoy most of it
I dunno man, media in general is all about conveying a message and the most critically acclaimed/popular could be described as liberal or progressive. Even The Three Stooges had poignant political commentary, and I'm not just talking about the Moronica episode. Pure mise-en-scène is for pretentious artfags. I guess the metal equivalent would be neoclassical wanking.
