Black metal has troubled origins, but honestly it's just a parody/joke now. Black metal these days is to the world what heavy metal was 30 years ago, when Dee Snider had to appear before the US senate because of the "Parents Music Resource Center" to defend Twisted Sisters lyrics because "think of the children!".

I don't really see any difference between your comment and claiming death metal listeners are violent. It's not true. Black metal doesn't make someone a neo-nazi. Neo-nazis are already neo-nazis.
