Depends, a lot of people like to just cut pop out of the picture, but lots of people listen to different %s of music. Some people only listen to classic rock or indie rock and claim it's the best music without having really listened to anything outside of that. I generally respect the opinion of anyone who's willing to try new stuff though.

You can't really lump popular old bands into the same category as new metal bands, since the old ones were pioneers of the genre, where as the new ones haven't provided anything new really. Hence why people also respect Venom, Death, and Morbid Angel even though they are less known than stuff like Metallica and Slayer. As for Opeth I think there's a solid amount of like and disslike for them.
