I feel kind of the same way with what you consider "Pop Metal." Though there's a lot of Metal from different sub-genres which could possibly qualify as such depending on your exact definition. Is your definition just what in Metal which has been popular? Because I'd disagree with it being bad, since I like some stuff by Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Black Sabbath. Or do you mean what is just currently popular? Because I could agree with that to an extent, though I do like some currently popular Metal bands. Or just a certain group of popular Metal bands? Such as the couple you mentioned as well as bands like Slipknot which I also dislike.
I'm now listening to some spacey Black Metal.
