Er, yes it is. Dethklok is a complete and utter parody, and a pretty bad one at that.
LOL at people who unironically think Dethklok is a good serious band.
No worse then some of the crap that is out there....
When did I say it wasn't?

What makes it a parody? They're a virtual band that does Death Metal.
A band that does (almost certainly purposefully) incredibly bad metal and plays up every stereotype about the genre and the people that surround it. Just because it doesn't have a big flashing sign saying "This is a parody!" doesn't mean it's not.
Edit: Oh, you deleted your post? I'll delete this one if you don't want to go down this road.

Just because you think it's bad metal doesn't make it bad metal.

Hm yes, now please point me to where I said "

(sic)
some of the the crap that is out there
".

By what measure is it good metal?

A community accepting a self parody does not make the self parody good sans-community.

How does that even matter? If the community is what determines a thing's worth, you can't judge the thing outside of the community.
Secondly, you're begging the question by assuming it's a parody.

Uh, yeah he would; he has permission from everyone he parodies... aka they like his songs and enjoy it.

Hey, you're the one that decided we should mesuare the quality of something by the community around it, not me.

It is pretty clearly a parody for reasons already discussed.

How does this relate to what I said at all apart from concerning Wierd Al?

There is absolutely no logical coherence in what you just said...

Well, your implying that no one likes the Deathlok parody, but someone must, or else they wouldn't exist, same as Weird Al.

uh...did you forget your argument already?
You claimed Dethklok was a parody based in part on their music being bad. I denied that premise. Going and then trying to prove the premise by falling back on Dethklok being a parody is begging the question, also known as a circular argument.
