I'm not a metal fan and I'm not attempting to gate keep. As an outsider, it is interesting how many many many popular metal bands fit the expectation and yet a few do not fit that expectation.

Gotcha. There's a LOT of gatekeeping in the metal community, from band to band, and from genre to genre. Some of the names are pretty funny, yeah, and that's part of what some people use as an attempt to gatekeep.
