Metal/hardcore doesn't fit in "as whole groups" with the rest of the 
counterculture (which does as a whole fit your description) in this 
regard. If you're talking Six Feet Under, well, they're beyond hope. 
But looking at the interesting documents, ranging from Discharge, GBH 
and The Exploited to Atrocity, Pestilence, Sinister, Morbid Angel, 
etc. is a large range.

In fact, Pynchon - and Roky Erikson, sometimes as a related object - 
make frequent appearances in at least the metal genre (I don't know 
much abou tpunk after 1985).
