By cheesiness is meant horrible synths and vocal tendencies that sometimes take more after Mariah Carey than Ronnie James Dio.  I agree that metal per se can be cheesy and over the top but I'd also agree with those who say something like Exodus is so over the top it's hilarious and fun but I don't find prog metal cheesiness that much fun because they are trying so hard to be dead serious and intellectual.  No prejudice here by the way, I like ACT a lot so I am pretty consistent that way. 
 
Anyway, on topic, I like a lot of 'straight-up' metal and some prog metal.  I don't generally find the subtlety of great prog rock in prog metal, the latter's complexity/technicality is all in your face and blatant. I want to be lulled into deception and led onto the technicalities...but prog metal's Mr.Obvious approach negates such an element of discovery.  Still, stuff like Moore-era Dream Theater or Pain of Salvation can be really good, even great.

"I like Rush. I Metallica. Dream Theater? Oh no way I hate prog metal" Confused

Well maybe not for the Rush fans ;-), but I can understand people not enjoying a lot of straight prog metal. It ups the cheesiness factor considerably from a lot of prog and straight metal.

Fine, but don't call me an idiot.

Is it Adblock Plus? I didn't know it does that. I wonder if they can tell the difference. I can't use Adblock Plus anyway because I run Opera.

Oh yeah, I know most people say Scarsick is terrible because they like to go with what they hear without listening/dont quite get it...but it IS prog metal.

But I assume that was trolling anyway, no one with a brain would have PoS and Korn related in any possible wayLOL


Edit: OH! Henry that may be the case but...what does it matter? So what if it's a new trend? Still makes no sense.

I don't understand how you can like metal but not like a form of metal which isn't even properly defined. What do you mean by prog-metal? Like Dream Theater?

I like both.

This has been a fairly common position on PA for quite a while now. 

Personally, I don't have much taste for any metal, with a few exceptions, so neither for me.

It upsets me that so much of the internet apparently thinks you're a f**king idiot if you aren't a leech who blocks ads. Although I admit that I would block the 700x700 ad if it showed up for me.

And I totally agree with Brian. Who thinks POS isn't metal should listen to their earlier albums. Hell, Scarsick is pretty metal and even Road Salt is metal, if you compare it to 70's metal (which was the inspiration to the album anyway).

Rhapsody is power metal to the max. I don't know how on earth they made it into the archives

Prog metal it's a subgenre of metal. I like a lot of subgrenes of metal, but I think a lot are terrible too.

Prog Metal works my brain and power metal brings me melodies I can sing along to. And both get me pumped if I need to workout or game or something.

Most everything else though is scatter shot.

I like old school metal but not much modern metal. The modern metal that I do seem to enjoy is of the traditional DT progressive variety.  Not much love for growling or shrieking on my end though.
