I know that feeling .. But I think we all were metal noobies at some point. 

 At least, speaking for my experience, I look back to my past and I did a lot of shit, waisting time and all taking metal for granted thinking I knew it all..

 A lil back story:  I always wanted to get a degree on Theology, so I went to a pre-seminar to become a chatolic priest so I could access all the proper information that they lock up at the Vatican.  I know, lool crazy.. 
 Long story short, they did not accept me there after a few months, so I went the opposite way.
 
 I became a anti-christ satanic fucker. Bands like nordic black metal, some death metal bands too like Deicide and such started to make so much sense to me back then. They still do, but in a different perspective from back then (90´s) . I get their point, I just see things different now. 

 Any way, I learned more and better since I started to hang out more with old school metal-heads. I think today is not the same way because back in the 90´s there was much more respect. I believe it will only get worst in the future. :

 But it is ok as long there are some people who trully know the real meaning of metal, and to the others who do not know, we cannot tell them how it is, we just need to point out the proper direction.
