wow! They'd go great with some vanilla ice cream as well!

I should get some lol

 

[Deathbringer]

well many of those types of guys are trend hoppers, they'll likely be into something entirely different in a year. Many are just into the image, not as much the music itself.

They're 20+ now sadly. They've been doing it since early high school. They're into it for the sake of doing something and being disliked or something.

There are some other Metal Heads here, you just seldom see them, they emerge when there's a gig. They are usually hiding under a rock it seems.

 

[Deathbringer]

We have a decent metal scene here, just they only pop up when there's a gig. I hang out with a few of them when we have time, but it seems most metalheads are college educated and have important jobs and seldom any time

Yeah that is sad, I don't like Metal to be outcast, I like it because it moves me like nothing else. I've been listening for sooo long that my taste crosses over most of the sub-genres, that helps keep it interesting to me.

That is true! The old Metal Heads are stupid, uneducated, unemployed, dirty, drug addicts and male between 15-20 years old gets proven wrong time and time again.

I am living proof as are most of my metal friends.

Yea, I got into it too because it was interesting and it wasn't mindless shit that I had been used to. Not to become an outcast and force myself to not follow trends. I wish there were better people around here.

And so are you, Kris, John, Quark (Leo)... etc. etc.

I first got into it, in a limited way when I was 10 years old (don't ask me how long ago that was). My older brother was playing his Led Zeppelin LPs at home and I heard that stuff and was like WOW!!! What is this music??? I LIKE THIS, then shortly afterwards heard Black Sabbath and Deep Purple and it was the same reaction, from there on I was never the same.

True, there are those who do fit and help to re-enforce the stereotype. Those are the sad ones that hurt the genre.

I started at 14 with Blind Guardian. Though I was into a few hot topic bands at a younger age than that, but I don't consider that to be "metal" it was just me trying to find something good.

 

[808Metal]

In High School I heard Judas Priest, that's when I got really into buying albums and started hunting for anything heavy I could find. Back then the scene was so much smaller so it was easier to keep track of the bands.

Well some good bands are now sold at Hot Topic, their shirts and other merch that is.
