Fred – not really. If you are an American not too into metal, you probably think of thrash when you think of metal. Lots of thrash have a strong FU component. But metal is an aesthetic and applicable to any emotion or expression. “Wizards are Fucking Awesome” is at least as popular a message. Love, hate, national pride, racism, inclucivity, introspection, antiwar, pro-war, war as non-normative issue, Christian, athiest, pagan, parody are all themes I can think of from bands I listen to on a regular basis.
For further information on this topic, I strongly suggest watching the documentary series “Metalocalypse” which follows the members of the Metal band Dethklok in daily life and during performances.

F U is translated into any language via music it would seem. F U is the message right?

If I gave a fuck I’d say something.
Hey, I think I just wrote a song title.
This shit is easy.
Oh look; now I’ve written a whole bloody song.
(Solo)
But I still don’t care.

Lyle, You are thinking of Punk. Which is something similar, but wholly different than Metal.
