Trbc (sorry I don't know your real name, it feels silly calling you that...) says it well. I think that is why metal appeals to most that like it and why those same people grow out of it. Those that stick with it dig a little deeper and find metal artists and bands that aren't just sensational. As TC mentions there at the end. Still, metal being metal it's going to be heavy and loud but not necessarily fast. It only suits certain moods for me. In fact its rare that I'll put a metal record on.
For some its also about the "evil" image metal inspires.
I will say this for metal over punk rock. Metal is less about rebellion and less youth oriented. I can see sticking with metal for a lifetime. As much as I like some punk rock... I think everyone moves on. Maybe just to the post-punk, but true punk is (for me) is about angst. I don't think most people have that after a certain age.
