I'm not saying "mainstream good, niche bad", I'm saying the opposite of that

Mb I typod, that's what I meant.
Saying "Mainstream bad, niche good" makes you sound like an edgy teenager who wants to be special and has no understanding of music.

Would you say the same about classical music for example ? Would you say that Bach and Beethoven are bad composers because they're mainstream, but that that one weird composer who never got famous is "good music" because he's niche ?

Idk I'm just parroting talking points I found on leddit

It also sounds like ass

Also you using points you found on reddit proves you have no understanding of music

First and foremost, for a band to be metal, it must have metal riffs. This point should be fairly straight-forward and obvious. Nevertheless, when it comes to some genres or styles, it's not always implied that the music is rooted in metal or is substantively comprised of metal riffs. For example, grindcore can either be rooted in punk (ex. Anal Cunt) or in death metal (ex. Nasum, Pig Destroyer, Agathocles); metalcore rooted in hardcore/-core (ex. Atreyu) or in metal (ex. Bleeding Through); and so on. Such music can be borderline, but still be acceptable. Some bands have mostly chugging, fuzz, or noodling, with minor metal influences; this does not make these bands metal. The metal elements must outweigh the non-metal ones.

In theory this sounds very good.
In practice, it's much harder to discern. Neoclassical metal for example doesn't really have riffs in the same way that a death metal band has, because it uses the musical structure of baroque music. This ofc is not always the case but it would be dumb to not consider these bands to be metal either.
