I hate to say it but i think a lot of black metal is just another niche in the market. I think a whole genre has developed from a shock value that was developed way back when (you know Sabbath, Alice Cooper) They've just upped the shock value. Not a bad thing and i'm not saying that some bands don't actually believe in what they represent in their lyrics but i think some bands simply create imagery that will sell. Since i don't take lyrics too seriously i really don't care as long as i like the music.

I think the "niche in the market" is a good observation. Not only that, but some people simply like the aesthetic and make music to fit that aesthetic (not always because it will sell). I personally don't like the image of those bands, but I can imagine appreciating it like an addictive substance, the same way I appreciate zeuhl.
