Metal heads and punks are also really inclusive despite society viewing them otherwise.

    and despite a tiny but vocal minority of them being bigoted assholes (for metalheads at least, don't know enough about punks)

    Might be just my anecdotal experience but that seems to be the case for basically any group of people. Edit: typos

    Yeah, really good point. I'd say it's a bit peculiar with metalheads, since it's a culture that revolves around dark and violent themes, so it makes its bigoted members a bit more visibly harsh or extreme, than other musical (or not) cultures. But this is just me nitpicking, you hit right in the center.
