      while I do enjoy the cheesy and nerdy side of power metal, you can actually find power metal that is not very cheesy (it's still nerdy though). My favourite power metal band that isn't cheesy (imho) is Manticora, they're quite obscure though.

    I love having fun while I listen to music, so I enjoy it a lot.
    Great video, but the lack of Rhapsody and Blind Guardian where noticeable
    Also, THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING SYMPHONY X!
    It's my favorite band ever and I like the recognition

    I grew up w 90s and early 00s PW, powermetal in its golden era, with its fantasy mythological lyrics and melodies satisfies the human need for adventure, facing evil and fears and become a hero. I am a huge boxing fan since i was little for almost 30 years, just like ufc it satisfy our human need for violence and redirect it when we are seeing these gladiators fight.

    To be fair, Rhapsody of Fire was able to compel a symphonic orchestra to be featured pretty regularly in their records. Actually, together with early Nightwish they had some pretty cool influence of classically trained, almost operatic vocal, to the point where together with Therion and Epica they're labeled as symphonic metal within their genres.
    Also, the prime example of extremely goofy but catchy power metal band would be Gloryhammer, I think that due to their references specifically to Rhapsody's songs they're even goofier than Alestorm.
    I'm pretty surprised power metal is considered niche, as I've heard it being insulted because of it supposedly being one of the more mainstream genres, and getting "too pop-y".

    as power metal fan I want to rebuttal.. but no you're right the average power metal fan certainly is a specific type, I mean I'm literally listening to this video in the background as a 35 year old man playing world of warcraft 😅 Though I really liked what you said about power metal not taking itself so seriously, that is what pushed me away from other metal genres as I got older. Grown ass men trying super duper hard to be giga edge lords is just cringe. Power metal know it's cringe and embraces it
