Metalheads, in my experience, tend to be an even spread of IST, "dadbod", fat fuck, and hungry skeltal with an ever slight edge to dadbod. Basically bros be diverse an sheeit.
What does it take to be a metalhead? Just be a fan of metal? Own a few band shirts? Complain about how your favorite bands got soft over the years? Regularly attend shows? Live for the pit? Argue with fellow "metalheads" about whether their favorite bands are actually metal? Scowl at strangers and disregard anyone who doesn't listen to metal? Wear corpsepaint in public?
Listen to what metal you like, collect band shirts that you like and wear them to gigs. Also enjoy orchestral music as a side genre. Talk to other metalheads and recommend bands. The people that bitch and whine are just retards.
All of those used to be true years ago when metal uses to be popular and also when you are teenager/early 20s. By this point you are just glad to meet someone who actually listen to it and remisisce about good old days even if it involves shit like Limp Bizkit.
Depends on where you live, of course. Over here metal is still huge thing for all ages.
Less than a week ago I attended a local metal festival with 49 000 visitors ranging from babies to pensioners.
Europe, metal is still big in 3rd world shitholes. Every metal song on youtube is filled with spanish and portugese comments. Two weeks ago i went to the concert and 80% of people were 30+
You need to basically be a metal zealot. >know the history of metal >have listened to the most influential albums of each sub genre >have listened to at least 100 records (I made this number up but I think it’s a fair number) >have made metal music (this is very important) >see important banda live, support local bands and the local scene >have a deep knowledge of at least 3 metal genres, having at least one as your main >help every metal friend in need in the name of merol
If you do not meet all of the above criteria and still call yourself a metalhead you deserve to get your head smashed you fucking poser piece of shit.
I used to be a bartender at a rock/alternative place. Metalheads are pretty chill dudes in my experience. Punks are absolute scum though. Childish, attention craving losers. And it also attracts other alternative misfits. I had to kick out homeless people time to time who would order nothing and try to sleep on the sofas.
I wish I had a rock/alt/metal bar. I live in Atlanta, everywhere is moron music or clubs, or country bars. Country bars can be ok, but I want something playing the music I really like
>Blind Guardian is the GOAT, everyone's gonna love this >*puts on Maiden and the Minstrel Knight* >looks of confusion, bafflement, or being on the verge of laughter >"WILL YOU STILL WAIT FOR ME, WILL YOU STILL CRY FOR ME, COOOOOOME AND TAAAAAAAAAAAKE MY HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND" >after it's over, get asked "wtf was that, anon?" >"Yall don't know good shit if it slapped you."
Metalheads may not all be jacked, but Metal certainly makes it easy to get jacked.
TRVE Metal is like a drug in the gym, it will boost your power level increasing your endurance and strength way above normal
It might not even be natty
I know you would hate and even state it now makes me not feel right, but som today's hard/gangsta hip hop music makes boosts my lifts. Just an example of a rare song. If talk about rapper like Future it is crazy. Sorry
I got into metal when I was in my edgy phase around puberty but I didn't really have any friends that were into metal so I moved on to other genres. 15 years later I got back into metal just because I think it's good lifting music. Still listen to almost all genres though and never became a real metalhead.
if you listen to metal or call yourself a metal head, practice what you preach and lift, get big. it's seen as a manly music, act, or at least look like one
>do metalheads gymmaxx?
Some do.
I'm going to go off what said
Let's put this is an easy to understand way.
- Are we talking people who Play in a Metal band or just people who just listen to metal ?
- If they simply listen to metal, I'd say it's 40% hyperlards, 40% skinny/skinnyfat variation, and 20% gymmaxxed / buff dudes.
- If they play in a metal band, it becomes : 70% gymmaxxed, 20% skinny and 10% fat.
I'm sure is right about his figures if you're just talking Americans, but in Europe, the numbers are pretty balanced, there's way less fatties here than in Murica.
If we took just the nordic countries, the number of metal listeners who are gymmaxxed is even higher.
In Nordic countries, Metal seems to be a common aesthetic, and they are the manly men of the North, the descendants of the Vikings.
There, anyone agree with my estimates or want to give their input on these approximated numbers?
>Every metalhead I've met in Sweden has been a fat fuck or skinnyfat
I couldn't tell you, never been there.
Sweden is a fucked country anyway.
I was talking more about Norway and Finland.
But yes, I also said that a lot of the people who listen to metal are fat, but those who play metal are not.
I've been inmetal bands. I've have metalhead summer camps where we play music.
Almost no Metal musician is fat, because playing guitar/drums or sining is a calory burning activity. Especially when you're giving it your all.
Most people in metal bands are buff as fuck.
Plus you look really dumb if you're dressed all edgy, "Kill, Torture, Die, Conquer ..." type of clothing by being a fatslob. It simply doesn't look right.
You dress up all scary and shit, you try to make yourself look dangerous, but at the same time are as dangerous as a fat raccoon who just gorged himself with trash ?
A small girl could defeat a fatso by just making him trip and fall.
Metalheads understand the value of Looking the part, when it comes to be a scary masculine rebel.
No one will listen to an obese neckbeard playing the guitar like Jabba the hut.
Most of the fat people in Hard Rock and Metal simply do not play an instrument, period.
>Finnbro Metalhead here, most metalheads up here are pretty fit and all the fat metalheads I know listen to power metal so make what you want of that
Thank you Finbro, very cool comment.
See guys? I told you.
Most Metal Heads in Europe are not Fat lards.
And especially not the Nordicboiz / Vikingbros.
As most of them actually play in a band or something.
Power metal is so autistic its the same here in America my power metal fan friends are all fat autists who have a lot of trouble with females. I listen to mostly sludge myself.
in my cunt (Netherlands) they are either fat or skinny. But then you got that one alpha metaldude who always trains in a band shirt and baggy shorts who needs EVERY fucking plate in the gym for his deadlifts and squats.
Hardcore/slam death metal is where all the meatheads are. Picrel heard they had a merch table you couldn’t buy a shirt off unless you could curl a 50lb dumbbell
I just got into Burzum last year, and now I am in dire need of other music as kino as the riff at the end of 'spell of destruction' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m1BP4B5y8U
Please help
Metal people are mostly larping children city dwellers. I mean why can't people just listen to the music and enjoy it. Why do people have to make every goddamned thing a lifestyle?
I feel like rap mixed with just about anything I need will be coming back over and over again whether it's good or not. Rap metal is good but that's just because both genres can be really aggressive and assertive but when it comes to other stuff like all of the retard country rap and other shit I'd rather shoot myself.
what's the appeal of metal
it genuinely sounds like a waste processing plant
are metalheads just edgy manchildren that 'like' something that is objectively bad so they can feel snobby and better than everyone else?
it's barely even counterculture at this point, it's just akin to screaming loudly and laughing at other people for not liking it
The appeal of metal is the speed, aggression, and heaviness. It has a lot of musicality that other genres don't, and some of the lyrics from noteworthy artists have a poetic quality that other artists from other genres that are more popular seemingly lack; it's a genre for real men, dawg.
Some do, but most of us drink. I don't, personally, because alcohol is the weapon of the Zionists distributed across retail outlets to destroy the masculine spirit within all men.
Death metal fans, with what I've seen, are usually the most jacked while black metal fans are skinny and thrash, hair, speed and few others had dad bods. And if I may add, the meanest sons of bitches I knew ALWAYS listened to Pantera
Metalheads, in my experience, tend to be an even spread of IST, "dadbod", fat fuck, and hungry skeltal with an ever slight edge to dadbod. Basically bros be diverse an sheeit.
So they are, in other words and contrary to what they believe, just like everyone else.
Hater
kind of
i guess black metal guys are typically DYELs
more hardcore / brutal metal has a bit more jacked guys
rest is generally average
Metalheads are more dysgenic than average. There are exceptions but it's rare.
The genre itself offers a lot of escapism for dysgenic people, but I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's primarily comprised of dysgenic people.
What does it take to be a metalhead? Just be a fan of metal? Own a few band shirts? Complain about how your favorite bands got soft over the years? Regularly attend shows? Live for the pit? Argue with fellow "metalheads" about whether their favorite bands are actually metal? Scowl at strangers and disregard anyone who doesn't listen to metal? Wear corpsepaint in public?
Yes, but you have to do all of them. If you're not doing even one of these, you're not trve.
Listen to what metal you like, collect band shirts that you like and wear them to gigs. Also enjoy orchestral music as a side genre. Talk to other metalheads and recommend bands. The people that bitch and whine are just retards.
All of those used to be true years ago when metal uses to be popular and also when you are teenager/early 20s. By this point you are just glad to meet someone who actually listen to it and remisisce about good old days even if it involves shit like Limp Bizkit.

Sometimes I feel bad for americans
Then I remember they aren't even human
>Complain about how your favorite bands got soft over the years?
Yeah that's the most important point I'd say.
You need to basically be a metal zealot.
>know the history of metal
>have listened to the most influential albums of each sub genre
>have listened to at least 100 records (I made this number up but I think it’s a fair number)
>have made metal music (this is very important)

Gayest shit I've read in a long time.

And it also attracts other alternative misfits. I had to kick out homeless people time to time who would order nothing and try to sleep on the sofas.
This. Every punk i have seen is either a commie or a gay.
I wish I had a rock/alt/metal bar. I live in Atlanta, everywhere is moron music or clubs, or country bars. Country bars can be ok, but I want something playing the music I really like
>What does it take to be a metalhead?
Metao and racism
>What does it take to be a metalhead?
not maturing
Are you man enough to put on power metal in front of women at a party? This is the true test of your manhood
I've literally done this
>Blind Guardian is the GOAT, everyone's gonna love this
>*puts on Maiden and the Minstrel Knight*

how to spot a poser
Natty gods
AnavaR
Panty boy poser band
LIGHTNING STRIKES !
LIGHTNING SRIKES AGAIN
I've listened to metal mostly my entire life and am pretty jacked I've been told.
Metalheads may not all be jacked, but Metal certainly makes it easy to get jacked.
TRVE Metal is like a drug in the gym, it will boost your power level increasing your endurance and strength way above normal
It might not even be natty
True, that and hardcore
I know you would hate and even state it now makes me not feel right, but som today's hard/gangsta hip hop music makes boosts my lifts. Just an example of a rare song. If talk about rapper like Future it is crazy. Sorry
ANGEL WITCH RULESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Yes
Rap has the most fit guys.
Pop/emo/punk has the juiciest chickens
Only blacks on roids out of prison. Otherwise rap scene is entirely weaklings.
In metal almost all guys hit the gym.
Metalheads lift metal.
I got into metal when I was in my edgy phase around puberty but I didn't really have any friends that were into metal so I moved on to other genres. 15 years later I got back into metal just because I think it's good lifting music. Still listen to almost all genres though and never became a real metalhead.
RIP Alexi Laiho
Listening to metal is fine, but making any genre of music your entire personality is really fucking cringe
> T. Doesn't have a life.
Alright buddy, go back to your wagie cagie and get some cuckbux.
Listening to metal and headbanging will develop naturally strong shoulders and traps, based alpha genre. Hardbass is close second.
Metal is for dorks
>t. moron noise connoisseur
Mass monsters dominate the mosh pit, but there are few of them whenver I go to shows.
Yo is that anti christ siege machine I say em live last month with demilich
if you listen to metal or call yourself a metal head, practice what you preach and lift, get big. it's seen as a manly music, act, or at least look like one
Heavy metal is for listening, not for lifting.
Every metalhead i know is either a fat fuck or skeleton.
Metalheads are 80% hyperlards and 15% skinny fagotts the rest ist kinda fit

Some do.

>be fat

so it's just like powerlifters then
>Finnbro Metalhead here, most metalheads up here are pretty fit and all the fat metalheads I know listen to power metal so make what you want of that

And especially not the Nordicboiz / Vikingbros.
As most of them actually play in a band or something.
It's almost like a stereotype.
In Austria it's exactly the same. Power metal attracts fats and lanklets at a fat higher rate than black, thrash or death metal.
Power metal is so autistic its the same here in America my power metal fan friends are all fat autists who have a lot of trouble with females. I listen to mostly sludge myself.
What are hyperlards? Sound like some people I know
in my cunt (Netherlands) they are either fat or skinny. But then you got that one alpha metaldude who always trains in a band shirt and baggy shorts who needs EVERY fucking plate in the gym for his deadlifts and squats.
Blasphemy were fucking stacked back in the day. Only black metal band that weren’t scrawny gays

Every metalhead I know is skinny or a fat gay so no.
Oh hey, metal thread
>it's all false metal
lmao, as expected of /fat/.
Yes
Black Metal is the best running and lifting music
Metal people are mostly larping children city dwellers. I mean why can't people just listen to the music and enjoy it. Why do people have to make every goddamned thing a lifestyle?
Is trap metal dead? The concept is cool, but a lot of artists sound a bit stale. ScarLord, Zillakami, City Morgue, stuff like.
its wack
I feel like rap mixed with just about anything I need will be coming back over and over again whether it's good or not. Rap metal is good but that's just because both genres can be really aggressive and assertive but when it comes to other stuff like all of the retard country rap and other shit I'd rather shoot myself.
I used to be dyel but now I'm going bearmode

what's the appeal of metal

are metalheads just edgy manchildren that 'like' something that is objectively bad so they can feel snobby and better than everyone else?
it's barely even counterculture at this point, it's just akin to screaming loudly and laughing at other people for not liking it
You don't have an aggressive bone in your body(yet)
The appeal of metal is the speed, aggression, and heaviness. It has a lot of musicality that other genres don't, and some of the lyrics from noteworthy artists have a poetic quality that other artists from other genres that are more popular seemingly lack; it's a genre for real men, dawg.
No. Zoomer and millenial metalheads tend to be either very fat or very skinny. Boomers are just boomers.
Some do, but most of us drink. I don't, personally, because alcohol is the weapon of the Zionists distributed across retail outlets to destroy the masculine spirit within all men.
Best albm since ..And Then You'll Beg
Black metal is inherently anti semitic
If you are a normie and shredded/buff, you are cringe. If you are a metalhead and get fit, you gain personality points.
And what if you are Thormaxxing?
Death metal fans, with what I've seen, are usually the most jacked while black metal fans are skinny and thrash, hair, speed and few others had dad bods. And if I may add, the meanest sons of bitches I knew ALWAYS listened to Pantera
