That's metal?
If it is, it's none of their songs I heard.

I'm not a big fan of metal. The only thing metal on my iPod is Bon Jovi.

It's not really it's more of hard rock (they're different things).

I'd say AC/DC is metal, but most of their songs have nothing to do with depressing themes,

Disturbed, on the other hand... 

wait since when is ac/dc or bon jovi metal though.

anyway, metal isn't usual sad or depressing, its usually angry or like defiant?

It all depends on how exactly are you defining "Metal" as a music genre. I wouldn't consider them metal bands, either. AC/DC, in particular, has always considered themselves just raw rock'n'roll. 

The Wikipedia article about Heavy Metal music defines it as massive, loud music with dark lyrics. That's pretty much my definition, too    Hence, as neither AC/DC's or Bon Jovi's lyrics tend to have dark themes, I merely consider them hard rock.

I'd consider Skillet metal sometimes, and they don't have dark lyrics.

^The definition is subjective and up to each person, as I said.

I know.

dark and sad are two very different things

So if you sang a song about how you stubbed your toe, for instance, it would be a dark theme?

Oh so dark :0

It's like death, for the soul!

Well you could make it a cheerful song like
maybe you're glad you stubbed your toe because at the nurses office, you met a girl you like and then you grow up dating and then you get married and grow old together and shes sad when you die first

Dangit it turns into a sad song

Dangit it turns into a sad song

*sing to a slow tune like One*

I hurt my toe
I had to go
To the doctor's
To get it checked

On the bed I lay
After an X-ray
It turns out
It was wrecked

I sighed
Nearly cried
After itchy casts
A complete "meh"

After the Doctor did disperse
In came the nurse
And I was like
AAWWW YEAHHH

*fast glam metal*
I asked her out
On a date
She said yes
I said great
I could not believe my luck

We went for dinner
Cuz that's the norm
We went for a walk
Until it started to storm
So I took her home
And *you get where this is going*

*insert vulgar rhymes that i can think of but won't post for sake of humanity*

*slow song again*

On my deathbed I lay
With only few more words to say
I whispered a final
"I love you"

I looked up with my eyes gleaming
To see my wife standing there screaming
"IF YOU DIE NOW I SWEAR
I'M GONNA SHOVE YOU--" *feel free to imagine what happens next*

AND THEN I DIED.
AND SHE CRIED.
BECAUSE I DIED.
BUT I LIED.
I DIDNT DIE.

AND WITH HER ANGRY SKILL
SHE MADE SURE I WAS KILLED
SHE BEGAN SOMETHING FROM KILL BILL
