I love death and thrash metal a lot. I can occasionally write some really solid riffs that I feel are representative of what I like normally.
However...
My best work is the simple acoustic stuff I write when I'm bored and don't feel like plugging an amp in. I don't even like the kind of music it ends up falling into normally, but I guess I can write it.
I'm not sure if I would call it a problem but I'm in the same situation where my kids and partner do not like metal and when I started learning had to go through the grandpas guitar road as it is the most accessible one.
The probable second issue I had is that a lot of metal songs I like use drop D or even lower and that was hard to keep tuned with beginner's gauge.
This is metal... for fish
We're to make coffee metal, make everything metal, blacker than the blackest black times infinity
What are these wooden things, chairs??
I do cocaine?

How do you feel about Rob Zombie?
Not my favorite. He's got a couple solid songs but the rest isn't my jam. My style is more Death in the death metal genre, or Metallica in thrash.
Metallic is solid, for sure. I also like disturbed.
