metalhead

Metalheads are fans of the Heavy Metal genre of music. Most are usually defined by wearing denim, leather, band shirts and having long hair, though this is not compulsory to be a metalhead. Stereo-types have emerged of the metalhead and while some do hold truth for many, many metalheads, they might not be true for some. For instance, the pre-conception that all who listen to metal MUST be satanic, is a misconception. Though there do exist those who do follow satanic practices, most metalheads tend to be atheistic in their beliefs, though many metalheads can still be seen following Christianity or other religions. Personalities vary, but the vast majority of metalheads are honestly great people, who are mostly easy to get on with. Some tend to be argumentative, defending their opinions with some vigor and if you get on their wrong sides, it is often they are quite confrontational. However, they are mostly nice people. They are also incredibly passionate about their music, with it becoming a large part of their lives, in both fashion and attitudes. This does come with a warning, in that a huge majority are very defensive if their music is insulted and will have no problem schooling you on just how badass heavy metal is. If curious about the music, just ask them. It is guaranteed that many of them are experts in their field.
