-Why this genre is called "power metal" when it's just more fun than rock but less edgy than any metal genres? -Because contrary to other metal genres, this one has more complex chords, faster rhythms and more hopeful lyrics, and above all a lot of energy, that's why it has that power that other metals don't have.

Hate on power metal from some metalheads is hilarious given that this genre is way closer to traditional heavy metal than black metal or death metal, at least formally in terms of composition and musical features if not in spirit. I get it that power metal is overtly pompous and lightweight sometimes, but even if you dislike it, power metal is much more diverse than many people believe (and this still holds even if you don't consider so-called USPM scene a part of power metal genre). Apart from symphonic and poppier arena rock influenced artists, there are many heavier power metal bands, speed/power or traditional metal-inclined bands, which retain epic feeling without being too pretentious or cheesy. To my taste, power metal is not that attractive on average, but at its stronger moments it really shines.

Power Metal is just lighter and brighter Black Metal: black metal fans/musicians, similar to power metal fans/musicians, will take photos unironically using armor, axes, swords and other medieval cliches, thinking it's cool enough to be in an album cover, the difference is: black metal use black armor and the photo was taken in the basement of their parents, which looks like an old dungeon. On other hand, power metal use bright armor and the photo was taken right before their next section of D&D

As a self-proclaimed metalhead (who showers TWICE a week)), this genre is a FUCKING DISGRACE to metal as a whole, either like the sound of screeching norwegians with no sound production (it's an artistic choice you fucking plebians SMH my head) like the rest of us or just realise that you're just a fucking poser who needs to go back to your cRAP and pop 🤮🤮🤮 \m/ \m/ now, i must return to my norwegian nazi incel metal 😈😈😈😈

I like power metal, even more melodic power metal, but more than these two, mixed power metal with black metal or a power mix with death metal. https://youtu.be/LIuHpEirROA -- 100% rating on MA. posers, show me, mallcore band, with that good rating on MA, you cant? Oh, maybe it's because they don't allow poser scum there, haha.

Музыка для ограниченных ботанов и навсегда оставшихся в детстве придурков, которые думют о том, как бы побегать по лесу с бутафорским мечом. Поют о эльфах, драконах, демонах, колдовстве и прочих сатанинских темах. Тексты песен настолько примитивны, что трудно разобрать какие-то призывы.

Expected much hate here, so glad there's nothing like this! Honestly I don't enjoy power metal so much because of weird vocals and too soft sound, but there are some really outstanding artists in this genre which I love so much. (Blind Guardian mostly, but even too mainstream Sabaton/Powerwolf) Also, hail american power metal! <:

I personally see power metal from the US and Europe as different branches. Of course there are exceptions, but most American bands tagged power metal like Helstar, Omen, Manilla Road, Chastain, etc are much heavier than European bands like Gamma Ray, Helloween, Sonata Arctica (though they are symphonic power) or Dragony. The US-version seems to be leaning more towards the thrash-side of the genre.
