Top 10 Most Overused Metal Fan Stereotypes

The Top Ten
1 That all metal heads are satanic

I listen to metal every day and I'm atheist.

2 That all metal fans hate pop music

I like some pop music. I HATE pop from 2016 and beyond unless there were some non-mainstream pop I missed. I like pop the best from 2009-2011 (there are some exceptions like that dreadful "song" called Baby).

3 That all metal fans are elitists

There are no such thing as a "Metal Elitist" and plus most of the people who use that term are hypocrites because they are usally by defintion an "elitist" of something else (Usally Pop Music, Rap Music, Metalcore, and Deathcore) so their "insult" is invalid

4 That all metal fans disrespect opinions of people who like other genres of music

Actually, I have no idea how one can judge a person on the basis of their music tastes
..Because it doesn't make sense people! Haha! , I would like to say - that I mind my business when it comes to disrespecting others, Like what you like, simple!

5 That all metal fans are closed minded
6 That all metal fans are terrible people

I've said this before but it's worth saying again. Metal fans are the friendliest, most laidback and easy-going people I've ever met. I have two brothers; both of whom are severe metalheads with huge hearts and smiles.

7 That all metal fans are stupid
8 That all metal fans listen to is metal

We listen to it mainly, yes, but we like other genres!

9 That all metal fans have little knowledge of music
10 That all metal fans think metal is the only good genre
The Contenders
11 That all metal fans are Nazis or white supremacists
12 That all metal fans are angry
13 That all metal fans are depressed
14 That all metalcore fans are posers

Obviously not all Metalcore fans are posers, however all the ones who claim bands like BVB, Asking Alexandria, BMTH and other bands like them are their favorite metal bands AND they are the only bands they listen to then they are posers I should also mention that not everyone who likes Extreme Metal is an "elitist" further more why is elitism such a bad thing? Using "elitist" means that you are just using a last resort to childish name calling when someone disagrees with you besides the so called "elitism" in metal is actually not "elitism" it's called "Quality Control" because metal does not need to be infested with bands like the ones I previously stated (though those bands are not metal many claim them to be and not only is that wrong because they play emo music mixed with hardcore punk, those bands suck and so they are rightfully hated).

My advice is to shut the hell up about "elitism" in metal and just listen to the music you like, you like BVB fine go ahead I'm not ...more

15 That they only listen to extreme metal
