I don't listen to metallica, but i also disagree with the statement that people who listen to/play music like that don't appreciate the arts. in fact, a lot of guitarists are able to play classical/non-metal music but simpley choose to play what they like.

Also, i don't find the word 'nerd' offensive. i think that every group of people has thier own view of 'nerds'. it's such a broad term, how can it be considered offensive??
