    OK my turn..although shwasnada has answered it already pretty comprehensively.
    Music is about emotions, right? ALL emotions? So why is misery, death, depression not a fit subject to write about if happiness is? There can be beauty in sadness. If you want to live in a world that only sings about happiness and the yuppy way of life, then Britney Spears is the way to go. And I find it funniest when Metallica fans say stuff like this...of course, songs like One and Harvester of Sorrow are about walks in the park, is it? So why do you object when the same subject matter is done with a hundred times more intelligence and technical ability? (eg: Egyptian plague-Creeping Death vs Nile's work).
    Sample:
    Like snowfall, you cry a silent storm
    Your tears paint rivers on this oaken wall. . .
    Amber nectar, misery ichor
    . . .cascading in streams of hallowed form
    For each stain, a forsaken shadow

    You are the lugubrious spirit
    Etched in the oak of wonder
    You are the sullen voice and silent storm

    Each night I lay
    Awakened by her shivering silent voice
    From the shapes in the corridor walls.
    It pierces the solitude like that of a distant scream
    In the pitch-black forest of my delusion. . .

    With each passing day, a deeper grave. . .

    "Why did you leave me to die?"
    "Why did you abandon me?"
    "Why did you walk away and leave me bitterly yearning?"

    Her haunting, contorted despair was etched into the wood's grain
    Though fire rages within me, no fire burns fiercer than her desire
    The shape whispers my name. . .

    I damn this oak!
    I damn her sorrow!
    I damn these oaken corridors
    That bear the ghosts of those I've thrown away!

    Though tempted I am to caress her texture divine
    And taste her pain sweet, sweet like brandy wine;
    I must burn these halls, these corridors
    And silence her shrill, tormenting voice
    . . .forever. . .

    Like snowfall, you cried a silent storm
    No tears stain this dust in my hands
    But from this ashen gray, her voice still
    Whispers my name. . .

    You were the lugubrious spirit
    Who haunted the oak of wonder
    You were the geist that warned this frozen silent storm
    You were but a ghost in my arms

    From Agalloch's You Were But a Ghost in my arms

    Point 2: Why do people decide to hate genres as a whole? Listen with your ears, not your prejudices. If I find musical validity in DM or classical music or Hindi film music or dance music (I love Massive Attack, for example), I don't see why I should either love everything about that genre or nothing about it.

    Point 3: Technical ability: It doesnt just mean playing fast. There are interesting chord progressions. very very strange time signatures (19/16, 25/16), modal as opposed to key signature based stuff, etc etc that happens in DM.

    Scream that above line 85 times in a gruntish voice while smacking your fists randomly against the desk. Congratulations. You have now heard every Death Metal song in existence.
