Metal Head

Us "Metal Heads" received our name by our music, lifestyles, and fashion trends. Fashion trends can range depending on what type of Metal Head you are. Tight jeans, leather jackets, and curly hair were inspired by Thrash Bands in the 80's such as Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, and Megadeth. Death Metal fashion trends are alike in some ways. Tight jeans and sometimes leather jackets are worn, though hair styles usually differ. Hair styles for the Death Metal fan incude long greasy dark hair, sometimes straightened. (ex. Glen Benton, George Fisher) This look was inspired by bands like Death, Obituary, Morbid Angel, and Cannibal Corpse. Black Metal is far from the dressing style of Death and Thrash Metal. Black Metal (sometimes known as Viking Metal) clothing includes tight leather armor with spikes. Hair is usually dyed black and straightened. Dedicated fans or bands cover their faces with "Corpse Paint." This style is influenced by Mayhem, Bathory, and Emporer.The last type is not even considered to Metal to hardcore fans. This genre is called "Nu Metal". The clothing trends used by the Nu Metal fan are Emo. These people are known as posers. The Metal Head has an interesting personality as well. They are quiet and friendly, but when angered, are the most dangerous people. Their anger, frustration, unreleased rage, and adrenaline rush create a deadly combination of power and is a force not to be reckoned with. Some of them are sometimes influenced by their favorite bands' lyrical content in fights. (ex. Cannibal Corpse, Obituary) This is what really makes them dangerous. This is a dedication to all you other Metal Heads out there. Keep supporting Death, Black and Thrash.
