Metal is good once in a blue moon when you need to air out some fustration.

Coal Chamber are good.

I'm a huge fan of Kyuss-esque stoner metal, "metalcore" (whatever that means these days), thrash, hardcore, blah blah blah.

One of my biggest peeves about the metal world, is the average listener's compulsion to label and seperate all the different kinds of metal. Shit, if it sounds good...I like it. If it sounds ass, then I won't like it.

Also, anybody else notice how popular "metalcore" is with christian youth groups? Blows my mind, but it makes a weird kind of sense.

Well they categories can be useful to an extent. There are degrees of styles in metal that eventually get so far apart that one subgenre doesn't do justice to the style. You'll always have bands on the cusp of things, such as the early black metal and death metal bands that were still rooted mostly in thrash, but after a while the genres start to diverge. Cannibal Corpse clearly doesn't play the same style of metal as Emperor or Celtic Frost even if they all had roots in the same earlier bands.

See, I don't get into a lot of "truer" metal. The whole territory is a huge turn off cuz there is just so much fucking elitism with it.

Bands I like:
Pantera
GWAR
Kyuss
Acid Bath
Corrosion of Conformity
Municipal Waste
White Zombie (not really Rob's solo shit)
All That Remains
Cancer Bats
Bring Me The Horizon (don't say it, I know)
Architects
etc

I have no idea what "class" half of those belong into. Also, I don't so why a class in necessary or even smart when it comes to music. All you're doign is pigeon-holing a band into a certain genre. It's almost as if if you don't follow these templates laid in place, you don't know what you're doing.

EDIT: lol, i see we're kinda of over-lapping eachothers post times. I get what you're saying though. It helps when explaining things but some people take it too far.
