Power Metal:
A cheesy and fast paced sub-genre of metal
Pronounced: Pow-ur met-ahl.
Power metal is a sub-genre of speed metal known as "true" metal by nerdy teens who only listen to it and ignore most other metal bands outside the genre (the irony, of course is that they limit themselves to one subgenre of metal and thusly earn little to no respect from other metallers, as most metal fans love a broad spectrum of metal, and indeed, other music genres, such as blues, jazz, etc), and "cheese" or "bullshit" metal by everyone else and is also reviled by most thrash/death/black (actual) metallers for it's lack of substance and wanton insertion of elves, dragons and other nerdy nonsense into lyrics.  Broader fans of metal despise it because they fear people judge metal on the cheesey songs by these bands.  This is not to dismiss the genre entirely, as it contains many talented musicians, however, the most (undeservedly) popluar band in the genre, [Dragonforce] (or, alternatively, Fagonforce) gives the genre a worse name than it deserves, what with it's legion of  pre-teen to mid-teen fanboys, [frothing at the mouth] over insinuations of artificially sped up songs, little variation between songs, terrible vocals, overrated guitar work and drummer of unnotable worth.  People are, however mislead, into believing [dragonforce] is the b-all and end-all of power metal, just because it's on [guitar hero]. As much as power metal is  disliked among many metallers, [even] among broader metal fans whose taste includes power metal,  [Dragonforce] is often cited as being mis-representative of the sub-genre and is similarly hated.
