You make it sound like metalheads did everything great.
Then you strawman to support it by saying there is at least one metalhead in every industry at every level.
That is not hard to achieve.
I am absolutely sure there is one country dude and one punk dude for every such position, too.
Sometimes we can be all the same guy. Especially with the country and the punk since most of the good punk rockers are big fans of Johnny Cash.
No, I’m just saying we were there. Some posters make us all sound like brainfried sex addicts that drool in their wheaties.
Of course country guys and punks and the rest did great stuff. We were usually all close to the same fans anyway.
