Top 10 Worst Stereotypes About Metalheads
You've seen them in movies, heard them in conversations, or read them in articles. Stereotypes like metalheads are all angry, violent, or antisocial, that they worship the devil, or that they're not intellectually engaged. Or what about the assumption that they all have long hair, tattoos, and piercings, and that they only wear black? Even the idea that all metal music sounds the same and lacks musical sophistication is a commonly held stereotype.I am truly sick and tired of this stereotype! I'm tired of being called a gosh darn Satanist! Even my mom call me one once because I said I like metal, as did my acquaintance, who also said it was just screaming into a microphone while saying the same thing over again. -_- He's the exact quote from my acquaintance when I asked him to demonstrate what he thought of when I told him metal music, "I know your mom is dead! (x20)" He screamed the whole thing, and right then and there I wanted to blast some Iron Maiden and Dio into his ears.
Only when they slag off the most slagged off singer on here who is the opposite to metal and wouldn't sing metal ever.
Only when you bully fans of pop music, calling it stupid because you think its cool to call it stupid.
I'm only mean if you piss me off or if I'm in a bad mood.
Absolutely not one, I take up different sports apart from listening to any metal
Some probably are but the majority aren't into hard drugs.
Sabbath was just look at a Ozzy interview. He is messed up.
So annoying when they just call our bands screamo.
I know two metalheads who absolutely HATE hip-hop music, so I made them listen to Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly. That really changed one of their opinions, but the other called it a trashy waste of space and said it was really bad. I don't know him anymore.
I like to consider myself a metal head but I will listen and try to appreciate EVERY genre.For instance I greatly enjoyed Kendrick Lamar's song "King Kunta" for drawing inspiration from historical (although relatively fictional) sources. He plays his songs with a live band as well rather that just rapping over a premixed track without his vocals on it.
Well. I am atheist. But in recent years, atheism has been gaining lots of credibility, it has nothing to do with the music you listen to.
Have you heard Dave Mustaine on religion?
Dave Mustaine isn't! Get your facts straight!
Yes... the worst thing about this is, that its partly true unfortunately.. Several metalheads (not all of course) judge others by music taste and act like bigots towards non-metalfans. This sucks! Especially because those idiots give all metalfans a bad name.
You HAVE to be open minded to listen to metal music. The most popular bands among the metal community are still very obscure to most people
Just because we listen to metal most of the time does not mean we hate all kinds of pop.
Eh, I am in between for this one. I like the democratic social views and the republican economic views. I'm not too sure what that is called.
I love to mosh, but that doesn't make me violent. The violent lyrics that bands like Cannibal Corpse and Slayer use are based on serial killers and horror movies. It is no different than any horror movie you've seen.
Do people seriously believe this? Metalheads don't dress like emo or listen to the same music as them.
Someone who listens to DSBM songs is not necessarily suicidal.
