You already answered your own question there, at least when it comes to me. I don't love all metal or rock, I love melodic metal and rock. My preferred sub-genres like Folk Metal, Symphonic Metal and Power Metal are all incredibly melodious, often cheesily so.Bit baffled how there's a crowd that routinely votes for metal and they suddenly can't if it's noiserock, but there are probably reasons for that.

I'm pretty sure I voted for one of your Iranian entries (though with low points I think) and had at least one other entry shortlisted, but that it was just one of those editions where there too many songs to include in my top ten and it unfortunately fell out.But honestly you weren't the one I was expecting votes from because the 'cheese factor' is well known in your case and it's more because of the folk involved that the metal is stanned and I can't possibly claim any folk chops for my song here. Contrary to that I did think it was weird that my Iranian song in WV also didn't get any serious points form you and your lackeys even though that did have a very folksy vibe. So yeah, prior hypothesis was that y'all just racist bastards and that hypothesis still holds. One day I will crack your stone cold hearts.
