I know you clicked on this thinking this a trolling thread, but it's not. Actual research (about 5 minutes worth) went into this. It's scientific fact.
The study came about during a conversation in the Seismic Radio channel, and no less than two (2) current and ex ProgPower sponsors were involved. The actual theory, however, was 100% thought up by me.
Here it is.
Jim's Theory of Homosexual Prevalence In Prog/Power Metal
1 in 10 people are gay.
The average number of people in a metal band is 4, so there would be an average of 1 gay musician in every 2.5 bands.
Prog and power metal bands usually have 5 or 6 band members in them, so there will be an average of 1 gay musician for every 2.0 or even 1.6 bands.
So there would be a higher rate of homosexuals in prog and power metal bands than metal bands of other styles. As many as 60% more!
Therefore, power and prog metal *IS* in fact more gay than your average style of heavy metal.
