actually, everyone hates dimmu and craper of shit because they suck. it's mostly talk since burzum, darkthrone, mayhem, etc. remain as untouchable avatars of the genre yet they are still the biggest selling "trve" bands of the genre (unlike dimmu who are second generation AND opportunists, saying in early interviews how euronymous loved them and wanted to sign them when it wasn't the case and had to deny those quotes); another thing to consider is emperor who are amongst the most well known, sell a lot of records and have softened their sound the times over and remain genre favorites.
same thing with indie or whatever, no one dares say a negative word towards nirvana yet are one of the most well known bands of all time.
