In England. 'Goffs'. Yes, you don't have to lsiten to Goth music to be a 'Goff'. Just ahve long hair and wear a bit of black.

lol yes so true... though the english folk seem to be pretty retarded so anything along the lines of

Emo
Greebo
Goff

pretty much count as Metalhead.

Having had Tatcher as prime minister does say a lot about England. However, generalizations are crap, I'm sure you didn't vote for her :p

lol it's a fucking generalisation, not directed specifically at everyone, or anyone.. if you go out into english streets, and see all the kids-trying-to-be-hard and not see a hint of retardedness there... then well, i guess that says it all.

And mr know it Ive never heard the expression greebo being used before and emo faggots certainly dont count as being a metalhead so i have no idea what the fuck you are on about :D

just because you havent heard it doesnt mean it doesnt exist right? And if you even read what i quoted then you'd understand what i was on about with both the 'retardedness' and 'emo' comments... you wear anything remotly black, or have black hair or anything like that then you'll get called all sorts of things *except* what you really are...
therefore i was contributing to what exactly english people like to class as 'metalheads'

now do you have an idea of what the fuck i'm going on about? :p

anything more to add or verify? Wanna have a complete and correct list finally :D
Dynamo-hangers. That's what we called ourselves when the (famous) Dynamo cafe was open. For the moment it's being replaced, but the city coucil of of Eindhoven hasn't got a clue of where to put it. BTW. the Dynamo Open Air festival comes from this same cafe in Eindhoven. (and Eindhoven finally got rid of them, but right now they regret it soooooo much)

Hungarian seems to be correct, and from Japanese ppl I got only "Metalheads / Headbangers" so far - but I´m sure there is something more Japanese, thanks for looking! :)
