There's nothing inherently tied to culture about it, though.

Country is more of a "white genre".

Ironically, black metal is more "white music" than the rest of the metal sub genres. Most of the metal sub genres have a huge black fan base now. Most metal shows here usually have a rapper open up now, which is really weird imo but I guess it works.

There are a lot of metal fans that you wouldn't expect. You only ever know someone is a metal fan without asking when they're much more enthusiastic about it (wearing band shirts, long hair, etc.)

Yes, Metal is traditionally seen as a white people thing, but Metal welcomes anyone regardless of skin color, ethnicity, etc...

In fact one of the biggest and most legendary bands in Death Metal's lead guitarist is Black

There's likely more white metal fans than any other ethnicity, but there does exist a sizeable and recognizable amount of metal fans and musicians that are colored/anything other than white.

They may not all be found in the USA, but they are out there.

Las Vegas. Almost every local metal show has a rapper on the bill now for some reason. Of course the big tours don't, but for smaller touring bands we have rappers open or they're somewhere in the middle of the bill. Sometimes those rappers are in a metal band in the scene too.

Well yeah, that's a concert. Most people in general don't go to concerts unless they're really big on that kind of music.

Metal is pretty bad, it was at its best when it was blues derived, like the early British bands being influenced by Americans and when I say bands I just mean Black Sabbath, that music had soul and an actual groove. Grand entrance, grand closing because no other band recaptured what they did. Most metal music is sterile and irritating to listen too so, naturally, I choose not to listen to it

These two likely either like country or pop/top 40, but think metal is trash.

The only "metal" that I consider to be metal is thrash metal, invented by Megadeath and Metallica, and anything harder, like Black and Death metal, both of which evolved from Thrash. Not any of that blues crap "metal".

Metal and punk both have a lot of presence overseas/internationally somewhat surprisingly, with Hispanic and Asian contingents of bands/fans all over. So no, not at all. As far as origins, sure I guess (especially if youre talking about late 60s and early 70s proto metal), but thats not the question.
