When did it become not cool to be "metal"? When did it become not cool to wear whatever you want and not worry about what other people think? When did it become not cool to be kick ass?
"Cool" (from wikipedia)- admired aesthetic of attitude, behavior, comportment, appearance and style, influenced by and a product of the Zeitgeist.
"Zeitgeist' - the general cultural, intellectual, ethical, spiritual, and/or political climate within a nation or even specific groups, along with the general ambiance, morals, sociocultural direction, and mood associated with an era.
Okay so being "metal" is not cool. But who wants to be cool when being "cool" means meeting the above statements. Influenced by and a product of culture? No thank you. Im not gonna get specific and start a philosophical debate...because I dont care about that shit. Just read the list below.

5. Vain, pointless poetry mixed with sex, money and fashion (Lady Gaga)
