In a lot of regions metal is the official theme music of white nationalists so I can't say this is true
Eh, it doesn't belong to them. Racists try to insert themselves into things the same way other groups do, e.g. "christian rock" that tries to use the appeal of the genre to spread their particular message.
As a counterpoint to your statement, metal is immensely popular across South America. Look up any Iron Maiden concert in Brazil and you'll see vast legions of diehard fans going nuts. And the overwhelming majority probably wouldn't be considered white, at least not in the way European or North American racists want it to mean.
Classic pop fan thinking.
Total haters
Rap and house music and I used to lead sing in an alt rock band. Just a fact in certain parts of the US that metal fans have to live with.
Oh, did you sing in an alt rock band? As someone who has played and presently plays in actual metal bands I can tell you that there are racists in every type of music but there is no region where metal is music exclusively for racists.
Shit, what type of metal? You get different types of fans whether you're into the thrash metal, death metal, black metal, power metal, numetal (and the thousand subgenres) scenes.
You dig into this even a bit and your argument straight up falls apart.
