My main problem with metal is I get most of the things I could want from it better in other genres. Like if I want aggression I'll listen to punk or grindcore, if I want melody I'll listen to pop, if I want stories I'll listen to folk music ....and so on.

Also I find a lot of it extremely overproduced, I want raw sounding guitars hammering down memorable riffs.

Other than a few bands from the late 70s - mid 80s that I discovered as a kid that I listen to occasionally out of nostalgia I have no interest in listening to anything from beyond that.

Basically I see it as music for 13 year olds, there's nothing challenging to it.
