Not just metal constitutes anger and aggression Punk has it, hard rock has it, every genre has some type of anger to it. Let's not forget Glam metal and Christian Metal don't use anger and aggression in their songs, are they not metal because of it? I just think, Metal doesn't have to use the anger no genre NEEDS to have it, but metal isn't the only genre to use it.
